Scopoletin (coumarin) dosage

Scopoletin is a natural coumarin found in many tropical medicinal plants, notably Morinda citrifolia (noni), but also in species such as angelica and feverfew. Recognized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypotensive, and immunomodulatory properties, it is widely studied in the fields of phytotherapy and nutraceuticals.

Importance of scopoletin measurement

Scopoletin dosage is essential for:

• Standardize botanical extracts and guarantee consistent quality from batch to batch.
• Supporting wellness claims and strengthening the scientific credibility of nutraceutical products.
• To monitor the regulatory compliance of food supplements and functional beverages.
• Ensure the traceability of plant-based raw materials used in formulations.

Analytical methods

Scopoletin analysis relies on robust and sensitive chromatographic methods:

• HPLC-DAD (UV-Vis detection): suitable for quantifying scopoletin in crude extracts or processed products.
• LC-MS/MS: reference method to confirm the identity of the compound and quantify at trace levels in complex matrices.

These approaches guarantee reliable quantification, even in the presence of other plant metabolites.

Matrices analyzed

Scopoletin can be measured in various plant matrices and processed products, including:

• Extracts of noni ( Morinda citrifolia ).
• Standardized vegetable powders.
• Functional or nutraceutical drinks.
• Dietary supplements based on coumarins.

Industrial applications

Scopoletin assay has applications in several fields:

• Nutraceutical: formulation of supplements for vitality, blood pressure regulation and cell protection.
• Cosmetics: integration into antioxidant and soothing skincare products.
• Agri-food: control of functional beverages and fortified products.
• Research and development: identification of phytomolecular markers for the standardization of medicinal plants.
