Description

Pelargonidin is a natural anthocyanidin pigment, a key bioactive compound responsible for vibrant red to orange hues in many fruits and flowers. Its significance lies in its potent antioxidant properties and its role as a primary colorant and functional ingredient. This high-purity compound is essential for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical research sectors seeking natural, stable, and effective ingredients.

Application

• Natural Food & Beverage Colorant: Used to impart stable red and orange shades to juices, confectionery, yogurts, and functional drinks.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Formulated into capsules and tablets for its well-researched antioxidant and potential health-promoting benefits.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare serums, creams, and lotions for its antioxidant activity and as a natural color additive.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in drug discovery and development.
• Analytical & Laboratory Use: Employed as a high-purity standard for HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical methods in quality control and research laboratories.
• Plant & Agricultural Research: Studied for its role in plant physiology, pigmentation, and stress response mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our Pelargonidin is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, UV-Vis), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and heavy metals is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term stability, storage at 2-8°C under inert atmosphere is recommended. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
