Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP and BP primary standards, where they are available.

Application

These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Hesperidin may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in plant extracts, fruit juices and pharmaceutical formulations by various chromatography techniques.

Studies of the behavior of hesperidin and hesperetin (the aglycone) with DMPC liposomes find the aglycone penetrates more deeply and binds more strongly to the "membrane." This may explain the better bioavailability of bioflavonoid aglycones in general.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Flavonoid phytochemical extracted from citrus species. It is the rhamnoglucoside (rutinoside) of hesperetin.

General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Hesperidin is a flavanone analog of diosmin, present as flavonoids in Rutaceae plants. It finds extensive use because of its phlebotonic and antioxidant properties as well as vascular protection.
