Description
Citrus Aurantium Extract is a white to off-white powder derived from the fruits of Citrus Aurantium. The key active component is nobiletin, a polymethoxylated flavonoid, standardized to 60% by HPLC. Nobiletin's molecular formula is C21H22O8, with a molecular weight of 402.39. The extract is moderately soluble in methanol but sparingly soluble in water and ether, which is an important consideration for product formulation. This ingredient is widely used in manufacturing due to its functional properties. For purchasers, product stability, confirmed by certifications such as ISO, Kosher, and Halal, as well as the possibility of custom specifications, are crucial.
Applications
Used in the production of dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages.
