Product Information

• Name: 3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (3,4-DHPA) is a chlorogenic acid that is found in the leaves of the coffee plant. It has been shown to have a synergic effect with benzalkonium chloride on postprandial blood glucose levels. 3,4-DHPA also has a hypoglycemic effect and can be used as a dietary supplement for people with diabetes. 3,4-DHPA was extracted from coffee leaves using solid phase microextraction and then analyzed by gas chromatography. The rate constant for the reaction was found to be 0.917 min-1 at 25 °C and pH 7.0. The biocompatible polymer poly(L-lactic acid) was used as the stationary phase in this experiment to improve the selectivity of separation.
