Description

Glucogallin is a specific gallotannin, a natural polyphenolic compound derived from plants such as oak galls and sumac. This molecule serves as a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of hydrolyzable tannins and exhibits significant antioxidant and bioactive properties. It is primarily utilized in research and development within the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries for its potential health benefits and as a reference standard.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in studies targeting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic disorders.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Incorporated into dietary supplements for its potential bioactive and free radical scavenging properties.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Products: Employed as a natural active ingredient in anti-aging and protective formulations due to its antioxidant capacity.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a crucial substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly those involving tannin biosynthesis pathways.
• Food Science: Investigated for its potential as a natural preservative and functional food additive.
• Plant Chemistry & Natural Products: Used as a standard for the analysis and quality control of plant extracts rich in tannins.

Quality Control

Our Glucogallin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
