Neochlorogenic acid

Neochlorogenic acid (CAS 906-33-2), also known as 5-Caffeylquinic acid, is a naturally occurring hydroxycinnamic acid derivative found in plant-based sources including stone fruits and coffee. It functions as a bioactive antioxidant and phenolic reference compound used across food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural research and formulation. In food and nutraceutical development, it serves as a functional antioxidant ingredient.

This compound is utilized in botanical extracts, dietary supplements, and standardized plant-based formulations. Pharmaceutical and biotech researchers use it as an analytical reference standard for quantifying polyphenol content. It is essential for measuring raw materials and finished products according to USP or Ph.Eur. guidelines. In agricultural applications, it is evaluated as a natural plant defense modulator for crop protection.

The substance is also incorporated into feed additive research programs. Flavor chemists reference it when characterizing the acidulant and astringency profiles of fruit-derived ingredients and coffee extracts. Neochlorogenic acid is typically supplied as a fine powder, often at high-purity grades suited to analytical and research use. Standard offerings include purities of 98% and above for laboratory applications.

Material is sourced from plant extraction or synthesis depending on the supplier requirements. Quantities range from milligram-scale reference material to gram-level research batches for various industries. Larger commercial volumes are available on inquiry to meet specific production needs. All batches are tested to ensure they meet rigorous FCC or ACS specifications for consistency and safety.
