Description

Cyanidin 3-o-Arabinoside is a specific anthocyanin compound, a water-soluble plant pigment belonging to the flavonoid family. This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and development, offering a reliable benchmark for analytical studies in natural product chemistry. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and researchers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and analytical reagent sectors for its role in standardization, bioactivity studies, and product formulation.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a primary standard for the HPLC, LC-MS, and UV-Vis quantification of anthocyanins in botanical extracts, food products, and beverages.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Research: Investigated for its potential antioxidant properties and health benefits in dietary supplement formulations and enriched food products.
• Natural Colorant Development: Serves as a key component in developing stable, natural red-to-blue colorants for food, beverage, and cosmetic applications.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Ingredients: Incorporated into formulations for its purported antioxidant and skin-protective effects in anti-aging and wellness products.
• Phytochemical & Pharmacological Studies: Essential for in-vitro and in-vivo research exploring the bioavailability, metabolism, and biological activities of specific anthocyanins.
• Quality Control in Botanical Extracts: Employed to standardize and authenticate anthocyanin-rich extracts like bilberry, elderberry, or blackcurrant for consistent potency.

Quality Control

Our Cyanidin 3-o-Arabinoside is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, with specifications suitable for research and development purposes. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically by HPLC), identification (UV-Vis, MS), and other relevant parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability, as the compound is light-sensitive and easily oxidized. For short-term use, store desiccated at 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
