Plant Metabolites Line

Procurement Needs

The customer wanted to incorporate natural plant antioxidants into a newly developed vitamin beverage to partially replace synthetic preservatives, extend shelf life, and enhance the product’s natural profile.

Solution

Alfa Chemistry provided high-purity polyphenols (>98% purity, HPLC verified) and flavonoid plant metabolites, and assisted the customer in small-scale formulation testing.

Application Results

• In stability tests, beverages containing 0.05% plant polyphenols showed a 32% reduction in peroxide value (POV), demonstrating stronger antioxidant capacity than the control group.
• Product shelf life was extended from 6 months to 9 months with no significant change in flavor.
• After launch, leveraging the "natural antioxidant" selling point, first-month sales increased by 18%.

Customer Feedback

"The high-purity polyphenols and flavonoids provided by Alfa Chemistry not only enhanced the natural profile of our beverage but also significantly extended its shelf life. Our R&D team was very satisfied with their professional support and quick response."

Procurement Needs

The company needed to purchase a batch of standardized alkaloids and terpenoid metabolites for early-stage pharmacological experiments and mechanism studies.

Solution

Alfa Chemistry provided over 20 high-purity alkaloids and terpenoid metabolites (purity ≥97%, all with CoA) and offered targeted metabolite analysis services to support the client.

Application Results

• In vitro experiments showed that two alkaloids at a concentration of 10 μM significantly inhibited IL-6 secretion (approximately 45% reduction, p<0.01).
• Animal studies demonstrated that these metabolites reduced inflammatory factor levels by 30%–40% in a mouse acute inflammation model.
• The client has incorporated two of these candidate compounds into subsequent pharmacodynamic studies.

Customer Feedback

"The quality of metabolites and analytical services provided by Alfa Chemistry was highly reliable and offered critical support for our early-stage pharmacological experiments. The collaboration process was smooth, and we were very impressed by their professionalism."

Procurement Needs

The customer’s R&D team sought natural whitening and antioxidant ingredients to enhance the efficacy of a new facial serum.

Solution

Alfa Chemistry provided high-purity flavonoids (≥98% purity) and phenolic plant metabolites, and assisted with metabolite separation and identification to ensure the stability and activity of the raw materials in the formulation.

Application Results

• In stability testing, a serum containing 0.1% plant flavonoids showed a 52% increase in DPPH free radical scavenging activity.
• In an 8-week human trial, participants’ skin brightness (L* value) increased by an average of 12%, and pigmentation was reduced by approximately 15%.
• After launch, the product, positioned as "natural whitening + antioxidant," achieved 22% higher sales in the first quarter than expected.

Customer Feedback

"Using Alfa Chemistry’s high-purity flavonoids and phenolic metabolites, our serum formulation performed exceptionally well. The R&D team is very satisfied with the product’s stability and efficacy, and consumer feedback has been very positive."
