Description
STANDARDISED BOTANICAL ACTIVE
Crocetin and safranal — Crocetin + safranal total 98.0%
Crocetin and safranal is supplied as a standardised single-compound botanical active isolated from saffron stigma, released at Crocetin + safranal total 98.0% by HPLC against a batch-specific certificate of analysis. The purchasing definition is the molecule and its declared purity rather than a plant-ratio extract, so the specification is agreed on assay, identity and impurity profile.

Buyer Decision Guide
Buyers approving Crocetin and safranal usually settle three points before the first order: the assay method and acceptance range, the identity of the compound as distinct from a same-named plant extract, and the physical form the buyer’s process needs. Crocetin and safranal is offered at Crocetin + safranal total 98.0% by HPLC. Confirm those three against your own specification so the delivered batch is released to the right grade.
- Combined assay: total crocetin and safranal 98.0% by HPLC.
- Ratio of the two constituents stated on the certificate of analysis.
- Light- and moisture-sensitive: packing and storage agreed before shipment.
- Physical form and particle size agreed against the buyer’s process.
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment.
- Regulatory status, permitted uses and labelling are the buyer’s responsibility for the destination market.
How This Grade Differs
Crocetin and safranal is frequently quoted alongside a botanical extract of the same plant. The extract is standardised to a ratio or to a minimum marker content, while Crocetin and safranal is a single purified compound at Crocetin + safranal total 98.0%. The two are not interchangeable: dosing calculations, solubility and the analytical method used to release them all differ. Compare quotations on the declared assay and method, not on the plant name.
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
