The 98%/99% difference reflects Caffeic Acid content measured via HPLC. 99% is positioned for premium applications; 98% is the standard specification.

Q2: What is Caffeic Acid?

Caffeic Acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid found in coffee, propolis, herbs, and many fruits. It is considered a strong antioxidant and is the parent compound of chlorogenic acid, caftaric acid, and CAPE (caffeic acid phenethyl ester).

Q3: Can Caffeic Acid be combined with other ingredients?

Caffeic Acid is commonly combined with Chlorogenic Acid, Quercetin, and Vitamin E in antioxidant formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.

Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?

Caffeic Acid is permitted as a food / cosmetic / supplement ingredient in the EU. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.

Q5: How is Caffeic Acid content measured?

Caffeic Acid content is quantified via HPLC with UV detection at 320 nm per industry-standard methods.

Q6: What's the typical MOQ?

Standard MOQ is 1 kg. Smaller quantities (100-500g) are available for evaluation.

Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?

Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific Caffeic Acid content, particle size, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.

Q8: What documentation is available?

Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
