Description
Picrocrocin is a monoterpene glycoside supplied for natural-product and terpene-related biochemical research. It is identified by CAS number 138-55-6, with the empirical formula C₁₆H₂₆O₇ and a molar mass of 330,37 g/mol. The compound is A flash point of 187 °C is reported among its physicochemical characteristics. As a characteristic saffron-associated metabolite, picrocrocin is of interest in terpene glycoside chemistry, sensory-marker research, and the broader investigation of plant secondary metabolites. Laboratories requiring tightly controlled quantities benefit from the small unit size when establishing methods or preparing limited reference solutions. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH within a natural-products and terpenes expansion range. Clear CAS, formula, and molar-mass data support accurate documentation in research protocols and inventory systems, helping users integrate this specialised glycoside into structured experimental workflows.

Questions about Picrocrocin, 5 mg
What is this article?
Picrocrocin, 5 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Natural products & phytochemicals, inside Natural products & essential oils, in Lab chemicals.
A phytochemical or natural product is a defined compound, or a characterised extract, from a biological source. A pure alkaloid and a crude extract of the plant are different articles. The stated content of the marker, and the source species, are what is being bought.
A natural product is a molecule extracted from a plant, an animal or a microorganism, or a mixture of those molecules. An essential oil is the volatile fraction. The useful specification is the source species, the plant part and, where it exists, the stated content of a marker compound. Two oils with the same common name are not the same article. Marker compounds are identified on PubChem and named by IUPAC.
