Description

Malvidin-3-Galactoside Chloride is a purified anthocyanin compound, specifically the 3-O-galactoside derivative of malvidin. This high-purity standard is essential for research and development in colorimetric analysis and natural product chemistry. It serves as a critical reference material for analytical laboratories, nutraceutical manufacturers, and academic institutions focusing on plant pigments and their bioactive properties.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a high-purity standard for HPLC, LC-MS, and other chromatographic methods to identify and quantify anthocyanins in complex matrices like wines, fruits, and botanical extracts.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Research: Used in studies investigating the antioxidant capacity, bioavailability, and health benefits of specific anthocyanin compounds for dietary supplement formulation.
• Natural Food Colorant Development: Acts as a key ingredient in research for developing stable, natural blue-to-red colorants for beverages, confectionery, and dairy products.
• Phytochemical & Pharmacological Studies: Employed in vitro and in vivo research to explore the specific biological activities, metabolic pathways, and potential therapeutic effects of malvidin glycosides.
• Beverage Industry Quality Control: Critical for calibrating equipment and validating methods to ensure authenticity, quality, and anthocyanin profile consistency in wines, juices, and teas.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Research: Investigated for its potential application in skincare formulations due to the antioxidant and color properties of anthocyanins.

Quality Control

Our Malvidin-3-Galactoside Chloride is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic identification (UV-Vis, MS). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided to ensure traceability and compliance with research-grade material standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize condensation and moisture uptake.
