Neo-eriocitrin assay

Neo-eriocitrin is a flavonoid belonging to the flavanone family, naturally present in citrus fruits such as lemon and bitter orange. It is recognized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and photoprotective properties, making it a sought-after active ingredient in the nutraceutical and cosmetic sectors.

Its dosage allows:

• Standardization of citrus-based plant extracts
• Quality control of formulations
• The evaluation of the content of bioactive compounds

Analytical methods: HPLC-DAD or LC-MS

The analysis is generally carried out by HPLC with UV detection (DAD) for conventional matrices, or by LC-MS/MS for complex or low-concentration products.

The method is adapted according to the matrix (solvents, temperature, mobile phase) to guarantee accurate and reproducible quantification.

Matrices involved

The assay of neoreiocitrin is applicable to various matrices derived from plants or finished formulations:

• Standardized citrus extracts (dry, liquid, hydroalcoholic)
• Vegetable or micronized powders
• Functional citrus-based drinks
• Dietary supplements (capsules, tablets)
• Cosmetic formulations (lotions, serums, creams)

Industrial applications

This analysis is of particular interest to professionals in the following fields:

• Nutraceuticals: for the development of antioxidant or cell-protective products
• Cosmetics: for integration into anti-aging or brightening skincare products
• Research and development: to characterize complex plant extracts or optimize extraction processes

Further analyses recommended

For a comprehensive approach to citrus flavonoids, we recommend:

• Naringin dosage – bitter flavanone from citrus fruits
• Dosage of hesperidin – a major flavonoid in sweet lemon
• Luteolin dosage – flavone associated with complex plant extracts
