Description

Glycitin is a bioactive isoflavone compound, a natural constituent found in soybeans and other legumes. This compound is of significant commercial interest due to its potent antioxidant properties and its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of other high-value isoflavones. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries for use in dietary supplements, functional food ingredients, and advanced skincare formulations.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used as a primary ingredient or intermediate in formulations targeting antioxidant support, hormonal balance, and overall wellness.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a critical starting material or precursor in the synthesis of more complex isoflavone-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Incorporated into anti-aging serums, creams, and lotions for its antioxidant and potential skin-protective benefits.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Added to health-focused foods and drinks to enhance their bioactive isoflavone content.
• Research & Development: Utilized in biochemical and pharmacological research to study isoflavone metabolism, bioavailability, and biological activities.
• Reference Standards: Supplied as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in laboratory testing.

Quality Control

Our Glycitin is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity verification, and IR for compound identification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light, heat, or air should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
