Dosage of sakuranetin (flavanone)

Sakuranetin is a methylated flavanone naturally present in certain plants such as rice, sorghum and cherry species. This compound belongs to the large family of flavonoids, widely studied for its biological properties and its role in protecting organisms against oxidative stress.

Known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifungal properties, sakuranetin is attracting increasing interest in the development of nutraceutical formulations, functional cosmetics, and health-related plant products. Its dosage is essential to ensure the standardization of botanical extracts, control the quality of raw materials, and validate the claimed efficacy of finished products.

Interest of the dosage

The analytical control of sakuranetin presents several strategic challenges:

• Ensure the traceability and authenticity of plant extracts.
• Validate the active ingredient content to meet quality standards.
• Optimizing antioxidant and protective formulations in nutraceuticals.
• Evaluate the stability of finished products over time.
• Contribute to regulatory compliance in the functional food and cosmetics sectors.

Analytical methods

The analysis of sakuranetin is based on high-precision chromatographic methods:

• HPLC-UV/DAD: used for routine analysis and standard quantification.
• LC-MS/MS: enables specific and sensitive detection, even at trace levels in complex matrices.

These approaches ensure reliable identification and robust quantification, meeting the quality requirements of health, nutrition and cosmetics manufacturers.

Analyzed matrices

Sakuranetin can be investigated and quantified in various matrices:

• Standardized plant extracts.
• Products derived from rice and sorghum.
• Nutraceutical formulations (capsules, tablets, powders).
• Functional cosmetic products enriched with antioxidants.

Challenges for manufacturers

Sakuranetin dosage is part of a comprehensive approach to quality control for plant-based active ingredients. For manufacturers in the nutraceutical sector, it helps secure health claims related to flavonoids and ensures a stable and reproducible composition. In the cosmetics sector, it is an asset for promoting formulations rich in natural antioxidants.
