Chemical Structure

Capsanthin CAS 465-42-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 584.87 g/mol gives Capsanthin distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Capsanthin (CAS 465-42-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C40H56O3 and a molecular weight of 584.87 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C40H56O3, Capsanthin contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 584.87 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures Capsanthin under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
