Product Introduction

Flavone Compound – High-Purity Natural Antioxidant Ingredient from Kang Biotech

Kang Biotech extracts Citrus aurantium L. using advanced water or ethanol to create superior Flavone Compound (Apigenin, CAS No. 520-36-5) with 98% HPLC purity. Our facility, with 11 years of manufacturing experience and a technical staff with 20+ years of citrus extraction competence, spans 33,000 m², 9 modern production lines, and 20,000,000 m² of controlled bitter orange farms. Our integrated manufacturing chain provides batch quality, stable supply, ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, and FAMI-QS certifications. To satisfy worldwide pharmaceutical and food-grade requirements, each batch is rigorously quality-verified.

What Is Flavone Compound?

Flavonoids with a 2-phenylchromen-4-one backbone are our product. Instead of a C3 hydroxyl group, it has a double bond between C2 and C3.

Plants manufacture polyphenolic chemicals. Bioactive compounds in functional applications are powerful.

Orange plants are structurally modified to produce apigenin, our product's active ingredient. Providing a natural alternative to synthetic antioxidants like BHA and BHT and enhanced thermal and oxidative stability in formulations meets industrial objectives.

Distinct UV absorption characteristic allows spectral analysis for identity verification and quality control.

Functional Benefits of Flavone Compound

Our product is highly regarded in the nutraceutical, food, and cosmeceutical sectors due to its multi-functional qualities.

Strong Antioxidant Activity

DPPH and ORAC experiments show its remarkable free radical scavenging activity. Lipid-rich and omega-3-fortified goods are protected from oxidative destruction by this action.

Favourable Stability

Unlike anthocyanins, our product resists photo-degradation and is potent under changing storage circumstances. It is stable in acidic (pH 3.0–5.0) settings, making it appropriate for carbonated and functional drinks.

Clean Label Appeal

Consumer desire for clean label products is met by this plant-derived natural ingredient. You can trust this bio-based antioxidant to replace synthetic ones.

Metallic Chelation

The chemical prevents metal-catalyzed oxidation in complex food systems and extends product shelf life by chelating metal ions like Fe²⁺ and Cu²⁺.

Quality Control and Testing Standards

Production and testing at Kang Biotech follow pharmaceutical-grade quality standards.

Verifying HPLC

HPLC with UV-Vis or DAD detection is performed on every batch. This confirms active flavone content satisfies ≥98% and identifies contaminants.

Safety Testing

We use LC-MS/MS to identify pesticide residues and mycotoxins. To meet worldwide safety regulations, ICP-MS analyzes lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.

Standardizing antioxidant potency

Folin-Ciocalteu measures TPC. This provides constant antioxidant potency and activity across batches.

Microbe Limits

Total Plate Count, Yeast & Mold, and E. coli are strictly limited by microbiological tests. This guarantees pharmaceutical-grade ingredients for specific applications.

Quality Control and Testing Standards

Applications Across Industries

Flavone Compound is used in bioactive and stable high-performance settings.

Nutritional Supplements

Liposomal Apigenin passes the blood-brain barrier in neuroprotective formulations. In supplements, it promotes cognitive health, relaxation, and stress response.

Functional Foods and Drinks

It naturally stabilizes lipid-rich emulsions and omega-3-fortified goods, preventing rancidity. It works for carbonated functional drinks and ready-to-drink wellness drinks because to its pH stability and heat resilience.

Pharmaceutical Formulations

Our product inhibits collagenase and elastase in advanced anti-aging serums. This prevents UV-induced premature aging of the skin matrix and preserves complex aqueous-oil formulation performance.

Animal Food and Nutrition

This feed ingredient boosts antioxidant levels and general health in cattle and companion animals.

FAQ

Q1: How can glycosylation impact product efficacy?

A: Bioavailability may decrease when glycosylation increases water solubility. More lipophilic aglycones like Apigenin are easily absorbed throughout cell membranes.

Q2: What is the thermal stability limit during spray drying?

A: Many flavones are stable at 150–180°C for short periods. Continuous heat exposure might cause oxidative deterioration, hence regulated processing is advised.

Q3: Is the product suitable for acidic drinks?

A: Indeed, it is stable at pH 3.0–5.0. Carbonated functional drinks and acidic juices benefit from it.

Q4: How do I keep product to maintain potency?

A: Keep cool in sealed, light-resistant containers below 25°C. Photo-oxidation is prevented, ensuring long-term stability.

Q5: Does the product interact with metal ions?

A: This chelates metal ions like Fe²⁺ and Cu²⁺. This inhibits metal-catalyzed oxidation but may generate complicated color alterations that need formulation control.
