Description

3,4,5-Trihydroxycinnamic Acid Decyl Ester is a lipophilic derivative of gallic acid, offering enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to its parent compound. This esterification is crucial for applications requiring improved solubility in lipid matrices and controlled release. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries for its potent antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Formulations: Acts as a high-performance antioxidant and stabilizer in anti-aging serums, creams, and sun care products to protect against oxidative stress.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used as an active ingredient in lipid-based supplement delivery systems for enhanced bioavailability.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key synthetic building block or prodrug candidate in medicinal chemistry research.
• Functional Food Additives: Incorporated into edible oils and fat-based food products as a natural preservative to extend shelf life.
• Industrial Antioxidants: Applied in specialty lubricants, polymers, and coatings to prevent degradation from heat and oxidation.
• Research & Development: Utilized in biochemical and pharmacological studies investigating polyphenol metabolism and activity.

Quality Control

Our 3,4,5-Trihydroxycinnamic Acid Decyl Ester is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all relevant parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an ester that is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to store under an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
