Pinocembrin dosage

Pinocembrin is a natural flavanone with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, found in propolis, honey, and various medicinal plants. It is the subject of growing interest in nutraceuticals, herbal medicine, and functional bee products .

Its dosage is essential for:

• Validate the quality and concentration of propolis extracts
• Standardize active ingredients in nutraceutical formulations
• Justify health or antioxidant claims
• Monitor the stability or purity of finished products
• Carry out comparative studies between plant or bee origins

Methodology

Pinocembrin is measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or LC-MS for sensitive and selective detection. Depending on the objectives, several methods can be used:

• HPLC-UV: simple and economical detection
• HPLC-DAD: for better spectral specificity
• LC-MS/MS: for complex matrices or at low concentrations

The analysis is carried out using organic extracts (ethanol, water, methanol) after purification if necessary. The choice of chromatographic conditions (column, solvent, gradient) is adapted to the matrix.

Analyzed matrices

• Raw or purified propolis extracts
• Enriched beekeeping products (functional honeys, syrups)
• Plant powders, infusions, hydroalcoholic extracts
• Food supplements: capsules, ampoules, tablets
• Raw materials for formulation

Industrial applications

• Nutraceuticals: standardization of antioxidant formulas
• Phytotherapy: quality control of medicinal plant extracts
• Beekeeping: promotion and traceability of hive products
• Natural cosmetics: dosage in active ingredients
• Clinical research or pharmacognosy
