General description

Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone flavonoid with antioxidant activity usually found in apples and apple-derived products. It is extensively used for peroxynitrite scavenging and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation.
Major polyphenol found in apple; aglycone of phloridzin.

Application

Phloretin may be used as an internal standard for the determination of sterols and diterpenoids in brown algae using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Reacts with vic-dicarbonyl compounds such as glyoxal and methylglyoxal, preventing cytotoxic conjugation with biological macromolecules.
