Description

Alternariol 9-Gentiobioside is a specific glycosylated derivative of the mycotoxin alternariol. This compound is of significant interest in analytical chemistry and food safety research as a key marker and reference standard for the detection of Alternaria mycotoxins. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, diagnostic laboratories, and quality control departments within the agricultural and food industries. The availability of a high-purity reference material is essential for accurate method development and regulatory compliance testing.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of Alternaria toxins in various matrices.
• Food Safety Research: Critical for developing and validating detection methods (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS/MS) for mycotoxin contamination in grains, fruits, and processed foods.
• Toxicological Studies: Used in research to investigate the metabolism, bioavailability, and toxicological effects of alternariol and its derivatives.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key component in establishing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for laboratory accreditation and compliance with food safety regulations.
• Quality Control (QC) Testing: Employed by food producers and third-party testing labs for routine monitoring and batch release testing.
• Phytopathological Research: Used in studies focusing on fungal pathogenesis and the production of secondary metabolites by Alternaria species.
