Naringenin dosage

Naringenin is a flavanone aglycone derived from naringin, commonly found in citrus fruits (grapefruit, bitter orange), but also in other medicinal plants. Recognized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties and its potential effects on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, it is attracting increasing interest in the nutraceutical and functional phytotherapy fields.

Its dosage allows:

• Verify the standardization of flavanone-rich plant extracts
• Quantify the active aglycone (form released after digestive hydrolysis)
• Control the bioactivity and nutritional quality of raw materials or finished products

Analytical methods: liquid chromatography HPLC or LC-MS

Naringenin analysis is based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods with UV detection (DAD) or mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for increased sensitivity. Identification and quantification are reliable even in the presence of complex flavonoid-rich matrices.

The analytical conditions are adapted according to the nature of the sample: solvent, purification, column temperature, wavelength, etc.

Affected matrices

This service is suitable for a variety of products from plants rich in flavonoids:

• Dry extracts of citrus fruits or medicinal plants
• Plant powders or botanical raw materials
• Food supplements in capsules, tablets or liquid forms
• Citrus-based functional drinks

Industrial applications

Naringenin dosage is particularly relevant for manufacturers of:

• Antioxidant or detoxifying supplements
• Formulations targeting lipid metabolism or blood sugar
• Products made from Citrus aurantium, grapefruit, or other citrus fruits
• Standardized extracts for cosmetic or nutritional use

It also allows the bioavailability of flavonoids to be assessed after enzymatic hydrolysis.

Recommended Related Analyses

For a comprehensive approach to the characterization of flavanones and flavonoids:

• Naringin assay – glycosylated form of naringenin
• Dosage of hesperidin – another flavanone present in citrus fruits
• Dosage of quercetin – complementary flavonol in mixed extracts
