Falcarinol dosage

Falcarinol (CAS No. 21852-80-2) is a bioactive compound belonging to the polyacetylene family , naturally present in several plants, notably carrots (Daucus carota) , celery , and parsley . It is recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is being researched for its and cell-protective effects

Falcarinol analysis allows for the quantification of its concentration in plant extracts, powders, or food products in order to assess the functional value and nutritional quality of raw materials. This analysis is also used for the standardization of natural extracts and the validation of health claims for herbal products.

Analytical methods: HPLC and LC-MS

Since falcarinol is a thermosensitive and hydrophobic compound, its quantification requires high-precision chromatographic methods:

• HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) : allows the separation and quantification of polyacetylenes in complex extracts, with UV or DAD detection.
• LC-MS (liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry) : used for more specific and sensitive detection of falcarinol and its oxidized derivatives.

These approaches guarantee accurate and reproducible quantification , adapted to the needs of quality control , R &D and nutraceutical formulation .

Industrial and scientific applications

Falcarinol testing is particularly useful for:

• Manufacturers of dietary supplements containing extracts of carrot or other vegetables rich in bioactive compounds.
• Research laboratories studying the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects of natural polyacetylenes.
• Functional nutrition stakeholders wishing to promote high value-added plant extracts.
• The agri-food industries are seeking to characterize protective compounds in fresh or processed vegetable products.

For a more complete analysis of the bioactive profile, this service can be combined with beta-carotene testing or total polyphenol testing .
