Description

Oleuropeic Acid is a naturally occurring phenolic compound and a key chemical marker derived from olive leaves and related botanical sources. This high-purity ingredient is valued for its significant role as a reference standard and active intermediate in advanced research and product development. It serves critical functions for manufacturers and R&D teams in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries, where precise chemical identity and consistent quality are paramount for efficacy and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, assay, and purity testing of olive leaf extracts and related herbal products in quality control laboratories.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Formulation: Incorporated as a standardized active component in supplements targeting antioxidant support and metabolic health.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Serves as a bioactive ingredient in formulations for anti-aging, skin-brightening, and protective skincare products due to its antioxidant properties.
• Biochemical & Pharmacological Research: Employed in in-vitro and in-vivo studies to investigate anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cardioprotective mechanisms of action.
• Food Science & Functional Ingredients: Used in research for developing functional foods and beverages with enhanced health benefits.
• Analytical Chemistry: Essential for method development and validation in HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical techniques for quantifying phenolics in complex matrices.

Quality Control

Our Oleuropeic Acid is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assay and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
