KB03017 | Proanthocyanidins (PAC) Assay Kit – DMAC Method

Price range: 162.00€ through 399.00€ TAX excl.

Proanthocyanidins (PACs) are high-molecular-weight polyphenols found abundantly in plants and everyday foods. Known for their bitter and astringent taste, PACs are key contributors to the flavor profiles of products like wine, chocolate, beer, and cranberries. PACs are the most prevalent flavonoids in the human diet and have gained significant interest in the nutraceutical sector.

BQC Proanthocyanidins (PAC) Assay Kit utilizes a colorimetric method based on the reaction between 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMAC) and the C8 position of the A-ring in terminal proanthocyanidin units. This reaction forms a green/blue chromophore, which is easily quantified by spectrophotometry at 640 nm.
