Description

3-Feruloyl-4-Caffeoylquinic Acid is a specialized, high-purity chlorogenic acid derivative, a key bioactive compound found in select botanicals. This compound matters for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a valuable reference standard and active ingredient for research and product development. It is primarily needed by manufacturers and researchers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical industries seeking to standardize or enhance the efficacy of their formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality control and quantification of chlorogenic acids in herbal extracts and finished products.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient: Incorporated into dietary supplements and functional foods for its potential health-promoting antioxidant activity.
• Cosmetic Actives: Formulated into anti-aging and skin-protective serums and creams due to its ability to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reagent in metabolic, pharmacokinetic, and bioactivity studies related to polyphenol chemistry.
• Natural Product Standardization: Essential for standardizing complex botanical extracts, such as those from green coffee bean or artichoke, to ensure batch-to-batch consistency.

Quality Control

Our 3-Feruloyl-4-Caffeoylquinic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and commercial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and analytical results is provided with every shipment.

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, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability.
