Violaxanthin solution in ethanol, 250 mg

Violaxanthin solution in ethanol is a natural-product preparation identified by CAS number 126-29-4 and the empirical formula C₄₀H₅₆O₄. The molar mass is 600,87 g/mol and the density is 0,79 g/cm³, reflecting the ethanolic carrier system used for this carotenoid-type terpene. Supplied in a 250 mg pack, the solution is intended for laboratory work in natural-product chemistry, terpene research and related biochemical studies. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, it provides a convenient liquid format that simplifies handling compared with neat solid isolates when preparing dilutions, standards or small-scale assays. The stated molecular formula and molar mass support quantitative transfers and documentation, while the density value assists volume-based calculations in the ethanol matrix. UN number 1170 is associated with the ethanolic solution for transport classification. This compact unit suits method development, comparative pigment or carotenoid studies and teaching applications that require defined violaxanthin identity without large stock volumes. Researchers can integrate the material into workflows focused on plant-derived terpenes and natural colourants where CAS-traceable ethanolic solutions are preferred.
