Description

Isopropyl Ferulate is a synthetic ester derivative of ferulic acid, valued for its enhanced stability and lipophilic properties compared to its parent compound. This high-purity intermediate is crucial for applications requiring a bioavailable and functional phenolic antioxidant. It serves as a key building block in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced cosmetic industries, where its radical-scavenging activity is leveraged for protective formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated as a stable antioxidant ingredient in capsules and tablets for enhanced bioavailability.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Actives: A functional ingredient in anti-aging serums, creams, and sun care products for skin protection against oxidative stress.
• Food & Beverage Preservation: Acts as a natural preservative and antioxidant in functional foods and beverages.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in studies related to oxidative pathways and phenolic compound metabolism.
• Polymer & Material Science: Utilized as an antioxidant additive to improve the stability of polymers and sensitive materials.

Quality Control

Our Isopropyl Ferulate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications 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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, especially after opening the original container. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
