Description

Cyanidin 3-Arabinoside is a specific anthocyanin, a natural plant pigment belonging to the flavonoid class of polyphenols. This compound is valued for its potent antioxidant properties and vibrant color, making it a key functional ingredient in advanced applications. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and food & beverage industries for product development and research.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used as a bioactive ingredient in antioxidant formulations, capsules, and powders targeting cellular health and wellness.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into health drinks, yogurts, and snacks as a natural colorant and functional additive to enhance antioxidant capacity.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in anti-aging serums, creams, and lotions for its skin-protective and free radical-scavenging properties.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in preclinical studies for metabolic and inflammatory conditions.
• Natural Colorants: Provides a stable, natural red-to-purple hue for coloring applications where synthetic dyes are undesirable.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a purified standard in analytical laboratories for HPLC, LC-MS, and spectrophotometric quantification of anthocyanins in plant extracts.
