CAS 138-55-6
:Picrocrocin
Description:
Picrocrocin, with the CAS number 138-55-6, is a naturally occurring compound primarily found in saffron, the dried stigma of Crocus sativus. It is a glycoside, specifically a monoterpene glycoside, and is responsible for the bitter taste of saffron. Picrocrocin is a colorless, crystalline substance that is soluble in water and alcohol, contributing to the flavor profile of various culinary dishes. Its chemical structure includes a glucose moiety linked to a terpene, which is crucial for its biological activity. Picrocrocin is also a precursor to safranal, the compound responsible for saffron's characteristic aroma. In addition to its culinary uses, picrocrocin has been studied for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its concentration in saffron can vary significantly, influenced by factors such as cultivation conditions and processing methods. Overall, picrocrocin plays a vital role in the sensory qualities of saffron and has garnered interest for its potential therapeutic applications.

CAS:Picrocrocin is a natural compound, specifically a monoterpene glycoside. It is derived from the Crocus sativus L. plant, commonly known as saffron. Picrocrocin is formed during the dehydration of the zeaxanthin carotenoid and is stored in the saffron stigmas. As a glycosidic precursor to the volatile compound safranal, it contributes significantly to the characteristic bitter taste of saffron.Formula:C16H26O7Purity:Min. 95 Area-%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:330.37 g/mol
