CAS 42553-65-1: Crocin
Description:Crocin is a carotenoid pigment primarily derived from the saffron plant, Crocus sativus. It is known for its vibrant yellow-orange color and is responsible for the characteristic hue of saffron. Chemically, crocin is a glycosylated derivative of crocetin, consisting of a dicarboxylic acid backbone with multiple sugar moieties attached, which enhances its solubility in water. Crocin exhibits various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential neuroprotective effects, making it of interest in both food and pharmaceutical industries. It is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and mood disorders. Additionally, crocin is recognized for its role as a natural colorant in food products, providing a safe alternative to synthetic dyes. Its stability and bioavailability are important factors in its application, and ongoing research continues to explore its full range of health benefits and uses.
