GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Ellagic acid, A fused four ring compound, is a compound which can belong to the class of polyphenol antioxidants, capable of scavenging free radicals and regulating certain metal chelation reactions with potential health benefits. Ellagic acid is found in numerous fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, and pomegranates. It occur free or exist as a form of more water-soluble combined ellagitannin. Ellagic acid, as an antioxidant with potential health benefits, are under research for health purposes such as anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic. It is known as a protector of the DNA double helix from alkylating agent injury and as an activator in blood coagulation. It is used as a dye (Alizarine Yellow). The chemical designation is 2,3,7,8-Tetrahydroxy(1)benzopyrano(5,4,3-cde)(1)-benzopyran-5,10-dione.
