Salidroside (phenol) dosage

Salidroside is a phenolic glycoside characteristic of the plant Rhodiola rosea , a species known in herbal medicine for its adaptogenic properties. This bioactive compound plays a key role in the beneficial effects of rhodiola, particularly in the body's resistance to physical and mental stress.

Beyond its adaptogenic effects, salidroside is recognized for its antioxidant , neuroprotective and cardioprotective , which explains its increasing use in nutraceutical formulations and food supplements.

Importance of salidroside dosage

Salidroside analysis is an essential step for manufacturers of plant extracts and nutritional supplements, as it allows them to:

• Standardize Rhodiola rosea extracts and guarantee a constant content of active ingredient.
• Authenticate the plant raw material and verify its integrity against the risks of adulteration.
• Control the quality and efficacy of nutraceutical formulations.
• Comply with health claims and regulatory requirements on finished products.

Analytical methods used

The dosage of salidroside is carried out by chromatography, according to two main approaches:

• HPLC-UV/DAD : a robust and reliable method for routine quantification.
• LC-MS/MS : more specific and sensitive, it can detect salidroside even in trace amounts in complex matrices.

These methods guarantee precise identification and reliable quantification, suitable for both quality control and research and development.

Affected matrices

Salidroside assay can be applied to different types of samples:

• Dry or hydroalcoholic extracts of Rhodiola rosea .
• Powders and capsules from rhodiola.
• Food supplements enriched with adaptogens.
• Plant products formulated with antioxidant properties.

Industrial applications

Salidroside is an official biomarker of rhodiola , used to characterize and enhance standardized extracts. For nutraceutical players, its dosage helps guarantee the quality of raw materials and secure claims related to the benefits of the plant.

phytotherapy sector , this molecule also serves as a scientific reference in studies of the efficacy and stability of formulations.
