Pregn-7-ene-6,20-dione, 2,3,14-trihydroxy-, (2β,3β,5β)- - Introduction
Poststerone, also known as Tulip lactone (picroccin), is a natural organic compound extracted from tulips (Crocus sativus). It is usually in the form of yellow crystals or powder. The following is an introduction to the nature, use, formulation and safety information of Poststerone:
Nature:
Poststerone has a bitter taste and a strong aroma. It is insoluble in water and soluble in polar solvents such as ethanol, ether and chloroform. It is stable in air, but decomposes at high temperatures.
Use:
Poststerone is mainly used in the food and spice industry. It is a key ingredient in tulip spice and is responsible for giving tulips their unique fragrance. In addition, Poststerone is also used as a raw material for pharmaceutical research, as well as a reagent in the field of research and analytical chemistry.
Method:
The preparation of Poststerone is usually obtained by the extraction process of tulips. First, take the tulip petals and grind them into a powder. Then, extraction is performed using an organic solvent such as an alcohol to obtain a liquid extract. Finally, the Poststerone was purified from the extract by evaporation and crystallization.
Safety Information:
Poststerone is generally considered to be safer for the human body. However, as a chemical substance, attention should be paid to appropriate protective measures when used. Avoid inhalation of dust, contact with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate protective gloves and glasses during operation. Such as inadvertent intake or accidental contact, should immediately seek medical advice.
Please note that although Poststerone is used in the food and fragrance industry, it is less used in pharmaceutical applications. Therefore, if there are specific problems related to the use, further consultation with relevant professionals or institutions is required.
