4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one,5,7-dihydroxy-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3,6-dimethoxy- - Introduction
Centaureidin(Centaureidin) is a natural yellow glycoside compound, which belongs to the flavonoids. It is most commonly found in plants of the family Centaudaceae, such as the cornflower (Centaurea cyanus). Centaureidin has a yellow color and has certain biological and pharmacological activities.
The main use of Centaureidin is as food pigments and natural dyes. It can be used as a colorant for food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco products. Centaureidin is widely used in the food industry, especially in products such as bread, pastries, jellies and sweets, to increase the color appeal of products. In addition, it is used as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in the field of medicine and cosmetics.
The preparation of Centaureidin is usually obtained by extraction from the cornflower plant. The extraction method can be carried out using a solvent such as ethyl acetate or methanol, followed by purification by steps such as solvent evaporation and column chromatography. In addition, in recent years, researchers have also attempted to prepare Centaureidin by a biosynthetic method.
Regarding the safety of Centaureidin, there are no reports indicating that it has obvious toxicity. However, as a chemical, try to avoid direct contact, inhalation or consumption of higher purity Centaureidin. During use, appropriate laboratory safety and personal protective measures should be followed. If necessary, a professional body or an expert in the relevant field should be consulted for more detailed safety information.
