Chemical Structure

Hydroxycitric Acid CAS 6205-14-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 208.12 g/mol gives Hydroxycitric Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Hydroxycitric Acid (CAS 6205-14-7), molecular formula C6H8O8 and molecular weight 208.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, Hydroxycitric Acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 208.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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 Hydroxycitric Acid 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.
