Buyer Decision Guide
Cichoric acid is an HPLC-declared marker and behaves differently from UV polyphenol values. Confirm the target concentration, the chromatographic method and the reference standard used before approval.
- Confirm the cichoric-acid target level
- Verify the HPLC method and reference standard
- Compare chromatograms between lots
- Check that sources are not blended plant parts
How This Grade Differs
This grade is measured by HPLC against cichoric acid, whereas the 4% polyphenol grade is a UV total-polyphenol specification. The two report on different bases and cannot be compared on percentage alone.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
