Certified by ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, and FAMI-QS, our product is used in over 40 countries in the food, nutrition, beverage, and health industries.

What Is Eriocitrin – A Powerful Natural Antioxidant Compound?

Lemon and other citrus fruits naturally contain a lot of eriocitrin, which is also known as eriodictyol 7-O-²-rutinoside in chemical terms. These beneficial compounds are polyphenolic antioxidants, which stop oxidative chain reactions and eliminate free radicals.

Eriocitrin is a product that solves important problems in the business. Consumers are moving toward "clean label" products, synthetic additives like BHA and BHT are being replaced, and oxidative rancidity in lipid-rich systems is being stopped. Because it efficiently removes harmful radicals, it is a useful ingredient for companies that want to make non-toxic, plant-based solutions for preserving and improving health.

As shown by studies, Eriocitrin helps protect against free radicals and promotes digestive health and liver health. Additionally, it combines functional nutrition with formulation stability, giving formulators a scientifically proven way to improve both effectiveness and shelf life.

Technical Specifications and Quality Parameters

Our product is quantified using validated HPLC methods to guarantee precise active ingredient content. Each batch undergoes rigorous contaminant screening, including ICP-MS for heavy metals and GC-MS for pesticide residues, ensuring compliance with international safety standards.

Core Advantages of Our Natural Antioxidant Compound

High Antioxidant Activity

Eriocitrin is very good at getting rid of free radicals, which can be seen in DPPH and ABTS tests. This makes it very good at keeping cellular structures safe from oxidative stress and stopping lipid peroxidation in products that have been made.

Clean label and good for customers

While manufactured antioxidants can't be clean-labeled, our Natural Antioxidant Compound can. It meets the need of customers for well-known, plant-based ingredients without affecting the stability or shelf life of the product.

Strong Resistance to Heat

When it is processed at normal temperatures, erythrocitrin keeps its bioactivity. Because it doesn't break down much at high temperatures, formulators can use it in heat-treated products like healthy drinks and baked goods.

Flexible Profile of Solubility

As a rutinoside product, Eriocitrin dissolves in water in a modest amount. Because of this, it can be easily mixed with both water- and oil-based mixtures when used with the right delivery systems.

Applications Across Key Industries

Supplements for food and health

To help with antioxidants, metabolic health, and liver health, make Eriocitrin into capsules, tablets, and powders. It is great for science-based vitamin lines because it is bioavailable and has been shown to be good for your health.

Functional drinks and foods

Add this chemical to drinks, nutritional bars, and healthy snacks to make them more nutritious. It keeps sensitive nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids from being broken down by oxygen while also adding to functional health claims.

Cosmetics and personal care items

You can use erythrocitrin in sunscreens, anti-aging serums, and creams. Its ability to neutralize free radicals caused by UV light and outdoor pollutants helps skin repair and defense products work better.

Keeping food safe

Add Eriocitrin to plant-based meats, dressings, and spreads that are high in fat. It keeps the sensory quality while preventing oxidative rancidity, which extends the shelf life.

Comprehensive Quality Control and Testing

Quality control is a big part of how we make things. Every batch of the product is checked in more than one way:

Validation of the Active Ingredient: An HPLC/UPLC analysis shows that the product consistently contains at least 70% erythrocitrin.

ICP-MS tests for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury makes sure that strict international standards are met. GC-MS screening for multiple pesticide residues ensures the safety of farming.

Safety when it comes to microbes: Total Plate Count, yeast, mold, and pathogen tests show that the microbes are pure according to global standards.

Testing for Solvent Residue: This USP [467]-compliant test makes sure that there are no dangerous extraction solvents left in the end product.

Experiments that test oxidative stability: Rancimat and OSI tests check how well the substance keeps fats and oils from oxidizing quickly.

The Joint Research Center we share with the Hunan Institute of Agricultural Product Processing and Quality Safety is always coming up with new ways to improve quality and make extraction more efficient.

Packaging, Storage, and Logistics

As standard, the drums are 25 kg and have two food-safe polyethylene bags inside them.

Custom packaging: For OEM/ODM projects, we can make packaging that fits your name and meets legal needs.

Place to Store: Keep away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place. For the best steadiness, keep the temperature below 25°C and the relative humidity below 60%.

Express delivery services (FedEx, DHL) are available for samples and small orders. For large orders, air and sea freight are available. Maintaining a steady stock of goods allows for quick delivery and adaptable transportation solutions.

FAQ

Q: How does this product work when it's processed at high temperatures?

A: Eriocitrin stays stable at temperatures that aren't too high or too low. For uses above 180°C, we suggest synergistic blends or encapsulation strategies to keep the most of the substance.

Q: Will Eriocitrin change the way my product tastes or looks?

A: Our highly pure product is treated to have the least possible effect on the senses. Doses between 200 and 1000 ppm don't have much of an effect on the color and taste of most formulas.

Q: Why do you think the shelf life will last longer?

A: Based on the food matrix and dosage, accelerated oxidation testing shows that Eriocitrin can increase induction periods by 50% to 200%.

Q: Do you know if this compound dissolves in water or oil?

A: Eriocitrin is moderately soluble in water because it is made up of rutinosides. For lipophilic systems, emulsifiers or co-solvents may help the mixture spread out better and work better.

Q: Does your product have a clean label and approval from the government?

A: Yes. Our product meets international standards for food safety and backs up clean-label claims like "Natural Plant Extract" and "Citrus Flavonoid."
