Indena
The Mirtoselect® validated HPLC method of analysis that quantifies all the anthocyanins present in both plant material and in the extract can be also applied for the analysis of commercial finished formulations.
Indena 's commitment for quality is not only limited to the bulk products itself but is also extended to high quality and often proprietary analytical methods.
The HPLC method developed by Indena for Mirtoselect® , which raised the bar of limits of the previous methods applied to bilberry extracts, often not able to adequately identify the main actives principles of bilberry, is just one example.
This validated HPLC method of analysis that quantifies all the anthocyanins present in both plant material and in extracts is able to detect anthocyanins extracts produced from different plant materials (raspberry, blackberry, black currant, elder-berry, etc.) and can also be applied to finished products.
Thanks to more than 20 years' commitment to its ingredient for dietary supplements Mirtoselect® ; Indena, with this method, makes it easier to its customers to comply to all the quality procedures requested in the production of supplements: from analytical check of the incoming material through the conformity of the labelling indications including the stability analysis of the actives in your formulations. This to guarantee you and your customers about what we are delivering them!
Indena and its researchers' constant engagement is therefore supplying, besides high quality raw materials, validated methodologies in order to certifying the quality, the effectiveness and the safety of the products until the breaking in on the market.
