Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydroxytyrosol used for?
Hydroxytyrosol (CAS 10597-60-1) is a phenolic compound (C8H10O3, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol) whose catechol structure makes it a radical-scavenging antioxidant. It is used as an ingredient in cosmetic and food formulations where antioxidant stabilization is required.
What is the best source of hydroxytyrosol?
Hydroxytyrosol occurs naturally in olives and olive-processing streams, which are the principal commercial feedstock. RawSource supplies it as a specialty additive in bulk for formulation use; request a CoA for source and assay details.
Is hydroxytyrosol an antioxidant?
Yes. Its catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) structure scavenges free radicals, which is why it is incorporated as an antioxidant in cosmetic and food formulations.
What HS code is used for hydroxytyrosol?
Hydroxytyrosol is classified under HS 2907.29 (polyphenols and phenol-alcohols: other). Confirm the destination-country tariff line with your broker prior to import.
Can I get hydroxytyrosol in bulk and how is it priced?
RawSource distributes hydroxytyrosol in bulk to manufacturers. Pricing depends on grade, assay, and order volume, so request a bulk quote with your target quantity and a CoA/SDS rather than relying on list pricing.
