Malvidin-3-O-glucoside Analysis Service

Malvidin-3-O-glucoside is a vital plant pigment primarily found in the petals of Malvaceae plants like Malva sylvestris and Abelmoschus esculentus. These pigments give the flowers their distinctive colors. As an anthocyanin compound, malvidin-3-O-glucoside consists of an anthocyanin backbone and a glucose molecule, with the molecular formula C₂₃H₂₅O₁₂⁺. This structure enables it to display vivid colors ranging from purplish-red to blue. Research indicates that malvidin-3-O-glucoside has multiple biological activities and potential health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Malvidin-3-O-glucoside is usually extracted from plant tissues using solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and water. The crude extract undergoes several purification steps, including liquid chromatography, to obtain high-purity malvidin-3-O-glucoside.

 

Services at MtoZ Biolabs

MtoZ Biolabs uses liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to separate and identify malvidin-3-O-glucoside, precisely determining its molecular weight and structure. For quantitative analysis, MtoZ Biolabs employs high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) detection to measure its content in samples and study its distribution and metabolism in different biological samples.
