CYANIDIN-3-GALACTOSIDE CHLORIDE(CAS: 27661-36-5)

Cyanidin-3-O-galactoside chloride is a flavonoid derivative with a unique chemical structure, characterized by the presence of cyanidin aglycone attached to galactose through a 3-O-glycosidic bond, and further chloride ion substitution. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is commonly used in research and food additives.

Cyanidin-3-O-galactoside chloride is primarily used in food coloring, as a natural pigment in beverages and pharmaceuticals. It is also employed in research for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and for studying flavonoid biochemistry. Additionally, it can be used in cosmetics for its potential skin benefits.

Cyanidin-3-O-galactoside chloride is considered safe for ingestion when used within recommended dosages. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for food use by regulatory bodies. However, like all compounds, it should be handled with care and appropriate protective measures should be taken to avoid skin contact or inhalation.

Cyanidin-3-O-galactoside chloride should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain its stability. It is recommended to store it in a tightly sealed container, preferably made of inert materials such as glass or high-density polyethylene to prevent degradation or contamination. Avoid contact with moisture and ensure good air circulation to prevent the formation of any precipitates or off-flavors.
