Chamaemeloside dosage

Chamaemeloside is a flavonoid glycoside naturally present in chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile and Matricaria chamomilla). This bioactive compound belongs to the polyphenol family, known for their antioxidant, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its presence contributes to the pharmacological and functional benefits of chamomile, which is widely used in herbal medicine, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals.

Chamaemeloside assay allows for the precise quantification of this marker in plant extracts or complex formulations, guaranteeing the quality, authenticity and conformity of the ingredients used in finished products.

Principle of chamaemeloside dosage

The assay relies on high-performance chromatographic methods adapted for the analysis of glycosylated flavonoids:

• HPLC-DAD (high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection) : reference method for the separation and quantification of flavonoids in plant extracts.
• LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry) : a technique offering high sensitivity and enhanced specificity, allowing the detection of chamaemeloside even in complex matrices.

These methods guarantee reliable, reproducible results that comply with nutraceutical and cosmetic industry standards.

Industrial applications

Chamaemeloside analysis is strategic for several sectors:

• Nutraceuticals : control of chamomile extracts and fortified food supplements, in order to guarantee their effectiveness and regulatory compliance.
• Cosmetics : evaluation of chamaemeloside content in active ingredients incorporated into creams, lotions, soothing or anti-inflammatory treatments.
• Phytotherapy : standardization of chamomile extracts to ensure consistent quality of preparations used in traditional or modern medicine.
• Research and development : identification of the pharmacological role of chamaemeloside in the biological properties of chamomile and optimization of extraction processes.

Affected matrices

Matrices typically analyzed for chamaemeloside assay include:

• Chamomile extracts (aqueous, hydroalcoholic or glycerinated)
• Herbal food supplements
• Standardized dry powders and formulations
• Cosmetic products (creams, serums, soothing lotions)
• Vegetable oils or macerates containing chamomile

Quality and compliance issues

Quantifying chamaemeloside addresses several strategic issues:

• Authenticity of extracts : detection of possible adulteration or falsification in chamomile extracts.
• Standardization : guaranteeing a constant content of bioactive flavonoids, essential for the efficacy and reproducibility of products.
• Regulatory safety : compliance with current standards for food, nutraceutical and cosmetic products.
• Product enhancement : highlighting the richness in specific flavonoids as an argument for differentiation and quality.
