Description

Peonidin 3-Arabinoside is a specific anthocyanin compound, a type of natural plant pigment belonging to the flavonoid family. This high-purity reference standard is critical for analytical research, quality control, and product development where precise quantification of anthocyanin content is required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and quality assurance professionals in the nutraceutical, food science, and analytical chemistry sectors.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a primary standard for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of anthocyanins in complex matrices via HPLC, LC-MS, or UV-Vis spectroscopy.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Research: Employed in studies investigating the bioavailability, stability, and health-promoting properties of specific anthocyanin compounds.
• Food & Beverage Colorant Analysis: Serves as a key marker for authenticity testing and quality assessment of natural colorants derived from sources like berries and grapes.
• Phytochemical & Botanical Extract Standardization: Essential for standardizing and certifying the anthocyanin profile of plant-based extracts used in dietary supplements.
• Academic & Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized in biochemical and pharmacological studies to explore the antioxidant and potential therapeutic effects of peonidin derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Peonidin 3-Arabinoside is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, UV), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and analytical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting batch-specific results.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C under inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. The product is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
