Our Chlorogenic acid is an organic compound and an important bioactive substance.

一. Chemical and Properties

1. Chemical Structure The chemical name of chlorogenic acid is 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, which is a phenolic composed of caffeic acid and quinic acid. Its molecular structure contains multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, which is the basis for its various chemical and biological.

2. Physical and Chemical Properties It is a white to pale yellow powder with strong polarity, easily soluble in polar solvents such as water and ethanol. is relatively stable under acidic conditions, but easily undergoes hydrolysis in alkaline environments, producing decomposition products such as caffeic acid and quinic acid. .

Sources

1.     Wide Plant Sources Chlorogenic acid is distributed in many plants. It is found in high amounts in honeysuckle, a commonly traditional Chinese medicine, with chlorogenic acid being one of its main active ingredients. Additionally, it is present in beverage plants such as coffee and tea. For example green coffee beans are rich in chlorogenic acid, which is a key component influencing the taste of coffee and certain physiological functions.

  Application

Pharmaceutical raw materials Field

Food Additives

1. Natural Preservative: Due to itsacterial properties, chlorogenic acid can be used as a natural food preservative. Adding an appropriate amount of chlorogenic acid to foods such as beverages and meat products extend their shelf life. Moreover, compared to chemically synthesized preservatives, it better meets consumers' demand for natural food additives.

2. Food Quality Improver Chlorogenic acid can affect the color, flavor, and other quality characteristics of food. During coffee processing, changes in the content and type of chlorogenic acid can the flavor of coffee. Additionally, in the processing of fruits and vegetables, chlorogenic acid can prevent browning, maintaining their good appearance and quality.

3. Cosmetics materials

Antioxidant Skincare: When added to cosmetics, chlorogenic acid can exert its antioxidant effects. It can prevent skin cells from being harmed by free, reducing signs of skin aging such as wrinkles and sagging.
