Description

Demethoxycurcumin is a bioactive curcuminoid compound, a key constituent derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa). This high-purity ingredient is valued for its potent biological activity and serves as a critical standard and raw material in advanced research and product development. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical industries seeking to leverage its specific properties for health and wellness applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in studies targeting inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurological conditions.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Incorporated into formulations for enhanced bioavailability and targeted health benefits, often in combination with other curcuminoids.
• Cosmeceutical Products: Formulated into advanced skincare serums and creams for its antioxidant and skin-brightening properties.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a precise tool in cell culture and enzymatic studies to investigate molecular pathways and mechanisms of action.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a high-purity calibration standard in HPLC and LC-MS methods for quality control of turmeric extracts and related products.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Used as a premium bioactive component in health-focused food and drink formulations.

Quality Control

Our Demethoxycurcumin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your project requirements.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and potency. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
