Description

Cyanidin Chloride is a natural anthocyanidin pigment, a key reference standard and biochemical building block. This compound is valued for its potent antioxidant properties and its role as a primary chromophore in plant-derived colors. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and analytical chemistry sectors who require high-purity botanical actives and reference materials.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a high-purity standard for HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical methods in quality control of anthocyanin-rich products like berries, wines, and natural colorants.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Research: Investigated for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential cardioprotective effects in dietary supplement formulation and preclinical studies.
• Natural Colorant & Cosmetic Ingredient: Serves as a precursor or model compound for developing stable, natural dyes and pigments in cosmetics, foods, and beverages.
• Biochemical Research: Used in studies of plant metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis pathways, and the biological activity of polyphenols.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex flavonoid derivatives for drug discovery.

Quality Control

Our Cyanidin Chloride is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the rigorous demands of research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and desiccated after opening to maintain stability and purity.
