FAQ

Crocetin is a naturally occurring carotenoid compound with the chemical formula C40H52O2. It is known for its bright orange color and is commonly found in saffron. Crocetin exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Crocetin is primarily used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In pharmaceuticals, it acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. In the food industry, it serves as a natural colorant. Additionally, researchers investigate its potential in cancer therapy and other health applications.
Crocetin is considered safe for its intended uses. However, it is important to follow proper handling procedures. Exposure to light and air can cause degradation, and direct skin contact or ingestion in high quantities might cause irritation. Safety data sheets (SDS) should be consulted for detailed handling and safety information.
Crocetin should be stored in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation. Keep it in a tightly sealed container to avoid exposure to light and air. Store at room temperature (15-25°C) and below 65% relative humidity to maintain stability. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures, as these can affect its properties.
