Tannins are a class of abundant plant secondary metabolites. Structurally, tannins are generally divided into two major categories: hydrolyzable tannins (HTs) and condensed tannins (CTs). Hydrolyzable tannins can be separated into gallotannins and ellagitannins, composed of gallic acid or hexahydroxydiphenic acid esters linked to a sugar moiety. Condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) are polymers of tricyclic flavanols connected by C-C bonds. The chemical structure of tannins is species-specific and exhibits

Saponins are a class of bio-organic compounds that are particularly abundant in the plant kingdom. They are characterized by their soap-like foaming properties, producing foam when shaken in aqueous solution. More specifically, they are naturally occurring glycosides, when hydrolyzed, produce glycosides (sugars) and aglycones (sapogenins). Research has shown that saponins possess various biological activities and medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, insectic

• Polyphenols Analysis Service
Polyphenols are found in nearly all plants and play a protective role against pests and ultraviolet radiation. The beneficial effects of polyphenols are mainly attributed to their antioxidant properties, as they can act as chain breakers or free radical scavengers depending on their chemical structure. The phenolic hydroxyl group is a common structural feature of polyphenols. In nature, polyphenols are often conjugated with sugars and organic acids. They can be categorized into three groups based on the num

Lignans are a class of naturally occurring compounds with broad biological activities. They can be found in over 60-70 plant families and have been extracted from various plant parts, such as roots, rhizomes, stems, bark, leaves, seeds, and fruits. Lignans share a common 2,3-dibenzylbutane skeleton, but exhibit a variety of structures. Lignans are used in different foods, including dairy products and baked goods. After ingestion, these lignan-containing foods are metabolized in the gut, leading to the produ

Iridoids are a class of bioactive compounds widely found in the plant kingdom. In recent years, with the advancement of phytochemistry research, many structurally novel and highly active compounds have been discovered. Through biotransformation, iridoid compounds mainly exist as prototypes, aglycones, and as phase I and phase II metabolites. These metabolites have been proven to possess neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic activities. Due to the br

• Gibberellin A15 Analysis Service
Gibberellins (GAs) are a class of diterpenoid acids that play a pivotal role in the regulation of various developmental processes in plants, including seed germination, stem elongation, leaf expansion, and fruit development. Gibberellin A15 (GA15) is one of the lesser-known yet significant members of this family. GA15 is primarily biosynthesized from geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGDP) via a complex pathway involving multiple enzymatic steps.

• Methyl Indole-3-acetate Analysis Service
Methyl Indole-3-acetate is a derivative of Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the most common, naturally occurring plant hormone of the auxin class. It plays key roles in various growth and behavioral processes in the life cycle of plants. Its methylation process can participate in many biological processes such as signal transduction, protein repair, and gene regulation.
-
• Indole-3-carboxaldehyde Analysis Service
Indole-3-carboxaldehyde is an indole derivative that plays a significant role in the metabolism of tryptophan and the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites in plants and microorganisms. This compound is characterized by the presence of an aldehyde group attached to the indole ring, giving it unique chemical properties that are critical in various biological processes.

• Indole-3-acetic Acid Analysis Service
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a prominent plant hormone belonging to the auxin family, playing a crucial role in regulating plant growth and development. Structurally, IAA is a simple indole derivative (C₁₀H₉NO₂) characterized by an indole ring fused to a carboxymethyl group at position 3. Its molecular structure is instrumental in its ability to influence cellular processes such as cell elongation, division, and differentiation.

• L-tryptophan Analysis Service
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the human body cannot synthesize and therefore must be obtained from the diet. It plays a pivotal role in protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for several bioactive compounds, including serotonin, melatonin, and niacin. L-tryptophan metabolism is closely related to various physiological and pathological conditions, such as mood disorders, sleep disorders, and immune system regulation.
