Description

Oleacein is a bioactive phenolic compound and a key secoiridoid derivative found in extra virgin olive oil. This compound matters for its significant role as a primary mediator of the health-promoting properties associated with the Mediterranean diet. Industries involved in nutraceutical formulation, functional food development, and advanced pharmaceutical research require high-purity Oleacein to leverage its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Formulation: As a core bioactive ingredient in capsules, tablets, and liquid supplements targeting oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: For enhancing the nutritional profile of health-focused foods, oils, and drinks.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serving as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in preclinical studies for metabolic and cardiovascular health.
• Cosmeceutical Products: Incorporated into anti-aging skincare formulations for its protective effects against environmental damage.
• Analytical & Quality Control Laboratories: Used as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for HPLC and LC-MS analysis of olive oil and related products.
• Academic and Institutional Research: For biochemical, pharmacological, and nutritional studies investigating natural product bioactivity.

Quality Control

Our Oleacein is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and MS, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, as the compound is easily oxidized and light-sensitive. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
