How it works

Each test separates the named compounds by liquid chromatography and measures them against reference standards.

Citrus flavonoid specifications name either single compounds or groups, so tell us which compounds and which basis yours uses.

Tests offered

Hesperidin content by UPLC

Measures hesperidin, a flavanone glycoside of hesperetin found in citrus, by UPLC as a single compound.

Hesperitin (hesperetin) content by UPLC

Measures hesperetin, the aglycone of hesperidin and neohesperidin, by UPLC as a single compound.

Narirutin content by UPLC

Measures narirutin, a flavanone glycoside of naringenin found in citrus, by UPLC as a single compound.

Neohesperidin content by UPLC

Measures neohesperidin, a flavanone glycoside of hesperetin, by UPLC as a single compound. Neohesperidin and hesperidin both carry a disaccharide of rhamnose and glucose; they differ in how the two sugars are linked (neohesperidose in neohesperidin, rutinose in hesperidin), so each is measured as its own compound.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone content by UPLC

Measures neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, a sweetener derived from neohesperidin, by UPLC as a single compound.

Nobiletin content by UPLC

Measures nobiletin, a polymethoxylated flavone found in citrus peel, by UPLC as a single compound.

Tangeritin content by UPLC

Measures tangeritin, a polymethoxylated flavone found in citrus peel, by UPLC as a single compound.

Diosmin content by UPLC

Measures diosmin, a flavone glycoside of diosmetin, by UPLC. Diosmin ingredients can contain related flavonoids; tell us whether your specification also names them.

Flavanones content in bergamot dry purified extract by UPLC

Measures flavanones in bergamot dry purified extract by UPLC. Tell us which flavanones your specification names and whether it states each one or a total.

Dihydroflavone glycosides and polymethoxylated flavones content by UPLC

Measures dihydroflavone (flavanone) glycosides together with polymethoxylated flavones by UPLC, a profile of the two citrus flavonoid groups. Tell us which compounds your specification names.
