Description

Horseradish, Ext. is a standardized botanical extract derived from the root of the *Armoracia rusticana* plant, identified by CAS No. 84775-62-2. This extract is valued for its consistent profile of bioactive compounds, including glucosinolates like sinigrin, which are precursors to the pungent isothiocyanates responsible for its characteristic properties. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the food flavoring, dietary supplement, and nutraceutical industries seeking natural, potent ingredients.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a natural flavoring agent and pungency enhancer in sauces, condiments (e.g., prepared horseradish, mustards), dressings, and savory snacks.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Incorporated into capsules, tablets, and tinctures for its traditional use in supporting respiratory health and as a general wellness ingredient.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a source material for the isolation and purification of specific glucosinolates and their derivatives for research and development.
• Natural Food Preservatives: Explored for its antimicrobial properties derived from isothiocyanates to extend the shelf-life of certain food products.
• Research & Development: Utilized in biochemical and pharmacological studies investigating enzyme activity, antioxidant effects, and metabolic pathways.
• Cosmetic Applications: Found in some topical formulations for its potential stimulating and antimicrobial properties.
