Description:
In recent years, canola and rapeseed
products have gained popularity due to positive
health benefits. Sinapine is an antinutrient that
affects the palatability and digestibility of
canola and rapeseed by humans and animals alike.
Isolated Sinapine standards can provide information
about the concentration of Sinapine in canola,
rapeseed and other crops. Knowing the concentration
of Sinapine in canola and rapeseed is important
because it allows Sinapine to be monitored and
adjusted to desirable levels.
A sinapic acid standard is often
used to indirectly quantify Sinapine. This method
may artificially inflate Sinapine levels when
preexisting sinapic acid and Sinapine are quantified
as Sinapine. Utilizing an isolated Sinapine standard
produces the most accurate results, because it
allows detection of Sinapine only.
EPL Bio Analytical Services provides
Sinapine standards that are isolated directly
from mustard seed. Sinapine standards have a purity
of 99+ % and have the thiocynate counterion. The
thiocyanate counterion increases the stability
of Sinapine and eliminates the need for extra
conversions or calculations to obtain the concentration. |
