Protocatechuic acid with the CAS number 99 - 50 - 3 is a natural phenolic compound. It exists in many plants, fruits, and vegetables. Our High - Quality Protocatechuic Acid is synthesized under strict quality control to ensure its high purity and stability.
Chemical Formula: C₇H₆O₄
Molecular Weight: 154.12 g/mol
Appearance: White to off - white crystalline powder
Purity: ≥ 98% (High - performance liquid chromatography, HPLC)
Melting Point: 199 - 201 °C
Antioxidant: Protocatechuic acid has strong antioxidant properties. It can scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from damage caused by oxidation. This makes it useful in the food and beverage industry as a natural preservative to extend the shelf - life of products and in the cosmetic industry for anti - aging products.
Anti - inflammatory: It can inhibit the production of pro - inflammatory cytokines, thus having potential applications in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Anti - cancer: Some studies have shown that protocatechuic acid may have anti - cancer effects. It can induce apoptosis of cancer cells and inhibit tumor cell proliferation, which provides a new direction for cancer treatment research.
Food and Beverage Industry: Add an appropriate amount of protocatechuic acid to food and beverages during the production process. The specific dosage should be determined according to the type of product and relevant national regulations. Usually, the addition amount is in the range of 0.01% - 0.1%.
Cosmetic Industry: It can be added to skin - care products such as creams, lotions, and serums. The concentration of protocatechuic acid in cosmetic formulations is generally 0.5% - 5%. It is necessary to ensure uniform mixing during the production process.
Medical and Health Products: For medical research or the production of health products, the dosage and usage should be carried out under the guidance of professionals. It can be made into capsules, tablets, or injection solutions according to specific needs.
Case 1: Food Preservation
A food factory produces fruit juices. By adding 0.05% protocatechuic acid to the juice, the oxidation rate of the juice is significantly reduced. After storage at room temperature for 3 months, the color and flavor of the juice with protocatechuic acid remain relatively stable, while the control group without the addition shows obvious browning and flavor changes.
Case 2: Anti - aging Skin - care Products
A cosmetic company developed an anti - aging serum containing 2% protocatechuic acid. After a 3 - month trial by 100 volunteers aged 35 - 50, 80% of the volunteers reported that their skin wrinkles were reduced, skin elasticity was improved, and skin texture became smoother. The results of skin testing also showed a significant increase in collagen content in the skin of the volunteers.
Case 3: Inflammatory Disease Treatment Research
In a pre - clinical study on arthritis, rats with arthritis were treated with protocatechuic acid. After 4 weeks of treatment, the swelling and pain of the rats' joints were significantly reduced. The levels of inflammatory cytokines in the blood also decreased, indicating that protocatechuic acid has a certain therapeutic effect on inflammatory diseases.
