Description

Aloin CAS NO 8015-61-0 is a bitter-tasting, yellow crystalline compound primarily derived from the Aloe vera plant. This natural anthraquinone glycoside is valued for its specific biological activity and serves as a key marker compound for the standardization of aloe-based products. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries who require a consistent, high-purity botanical extract for product development and quality control.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used as a starting material or reference standard in the research and development of therapeutic agents.
• Dietary Supplements: Employed as a key active ingredient or a marker for authenticity and potency in aloe-based herbal supplements.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Formulations: Incorporated into products for its purported bioactive properties, often as a standardized extract.
• Analytical Reference Standards: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) in HPLC and other chromatographic methods for quality testing of aloe products.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in laboratory studies to investigate its pharmacological effects, including potential laxative and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Traditional Medicine: Forms a basis for standardized preparations in herbal medicine where aloe is indicated.
