Pinoresinol dosage

Pinoresinol measurement allows the quantification of this non-glycosylated lignan present in many plants and vegetable oils, including olive oil , flax , sesame or thyme .
Pinoresinol is recognized for its and phytoestrogenic properties , making it a key marker in the evaluation of the nutritional and functional quality of plant or nutraceutical products.
The analysis allows the standardization of natural extracts , validation of health claims and guarantee regulatory compliance of finished products.

Analytical methods

high-precision chromatographic methods :

• HPLC-DAD (high performance liquid chromatography) : separation and quantification of pinoresinol in complex plant matrices,
• LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry) : specific identification and low concentration detection,
• ISO 17025 recommendations , European Pharmacopoeia or internal references.

These approaches guarantee excellent sensitivity and full traceability of results, even in matrices rich in polyphenols.

Industrial applications

Pinoresinol dosage is particularly relevant for:

• The characterization of vegetable oils (olive, linseed, sesame) as part of quality control,
• The standardization of plant extracts used in food supplements or natural cosmetics ,
• Evaluation of the antioxidant and hormonal potential of nutraceutical products,
• Stability or transformation studies during extraction or refining processes.

Analyzed matrices

• Vegetable oils and food products rich in lignans
• Extracts of medicinal or aromatic plants
• Food supplements based on natural antioxidants
• Cosmetics based on plant polyphenols

Further analyses recommended

For a complete assessment of the polyphenolic and lignanic profile, YesWeLab recommends:

• Sesamin dosage : complementary lignan of pinoresinol in sesame seeds,
• Dosage of secoisolariciresinol : another major lignan in flax and plant products,
• Total flavonoid dosage : overall indicator of antioxidant potential,
• Tyrosol dosage : antioxidant marker of virgin olive oils.
