Phytochemicals are secondary metabolites naturally synthesized by plants. They not only impart vibrant colors, distinctive aromas, and unique flavors but also play critical roles in plant cellular functions and defense mechanisms. Recent research has underscored the substantial medicinal benefits of these compounds, which are often accompanied by minimal side effects.
Consequently, the comprehensive characterization and evaluation of phytochemicals are pivotal in the discovery and development of plant-derived therapeutics.
Our specialized Phytochemical Services are designed to analyze, isolate, and quantify bioactive compounds extracted from a wide range of plant sources. Recognized for their therapeutic properties, phytochemicals are essential in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries. Our analysis services provide a deep understanding of these natural compounds, thereby supporting product development, ensuring quality control, and facilitating regulatory
compliance.
1). Phytochemical Screening and Profiling
We offer a thorough screening and profiling service that enables the identification and quantification of a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenes, glycosides, saponins and pigments. Our approach employs advanced analytical techniques such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC), and Mass Spectrometry (MS) to ensure precision and reliability. The screening process is customizable to suit specific plant matrices and research requirements, thereby providing critical data for both exploratory research and quality assurance.
Data Delivered: Detailed qualitative phytochemicals screening.
2). Quantitative Analysis of Bioactive Compounds
Accurate quantification is essential for understanding the potency and therapeutic efficacy of phytochemicals in health-related applications. Our quantitative analysis services measure the concentrations of key bioactive compounds. These data are vital for dosage determination, efficacy assessments, and ensuring batch-to-batch consistency, ultimately contributing to the safe and effective use of plant-based formulations.
Data Delivered: Detailed concentration measurements for individual bioactive compounds along with statistical validation of the analytical results.
3). Extraction and Isolation of Phytochemicals
Our team specializes in the extraction and isolation of high-purity bioactive compounds from plant materials. By utilizing state-of-the-art extraction techniques—including solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction, and Microwave-Assisted Extraction—we optimize the recovery of phytochemicals while maintaining their bioactivity. This service is critical for producing raw materials that meet stringent purity standards required for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and
nutraceutical applications.
Data Delivered: Isolated phytochemical fractions with validated purity levels and documented extraction yields.
4). Bioactivity Assessments
Beyond our core phytochemical analysis services, we offer a comprehensive package designed to evaluate the bioactivity of isolated compounds and plant extracts. Our state-of-the-art protocol incorporates advanced spectrophotometric assays – namely DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP test – that are widely recognized for accurately measuring the antioxidant capacity of phytochemicals.
These assays provide essential insights into the therapeutic potential of the compounds, thereby supporting the development of innovative plant-based health solutions.
