flavoglaucin is a natural pigment found mainly in Aspergillus flavus. Its chemical structure is 3-hydroxy-2, 4,6-trimethoxyacetophenone.
flavoglaucin has a yellow to orange color and can be used as a pigment additive for various products such as food, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Its strong color and stability make it a popular food and cosmetic additive.
A common method for preparing flavoglaucin is to use fermentation technology. Firstly, Aspergillus Glaucus was cultured on a suitable medium, and then the yellow pigment was produced by adjusting the culture conditions (such as temperature, pH value, etc.). Next, through the steps of extraction, purification and drying, pure flavoglaucin can be obtained.
The toxicity and harmfulness of flavoglaucin to human body have not been reported so far. However, as a chemical, it should still follow general safety guidelines. In use or handling, should take appropriate precautions to avoid direct contact with the skin, inhalation or ingestion. If accidental contact or ingestion, should promptly seek medical attention. Only purchased from legally certified suppliers and stored under appropriate conditions, away from high temperature, humidity and direct sunlight.
