FLAVONOIDS

The flavonoids constitutes, probably, the family of secondary metabolites of plants with a bigger capacity to be employees as active substances in the farmaceutical and nutraceutical fields. Species like the citrus fruits turn out to be, probably, the most important source for the flavonoids obtaining.
The current team of investigation of Nutrafur-Furfural Español S.A., comes developing for 26 years a production concept and serious, solid research and contrasted in the field of the obtaining of natural rich extracts in flavonoids and polyphenols, reasonable fundamentally of such species as: rosemary, olive, citrus, echinacea, valerian, passiflora, artichoke, sage, thyme, lemon balm, etc...
Nutrafur, not alone it has developed a great capacity in the production of rich extracts in flavonoids, but rather it obtains starting from the "pure" same flavonoids, with chromatographic assays (HPLC) around to 90-95%. Apigenin, diosmin, hesperetin, naringenin, hesperedin, naringin, etc...they are a good example of it. The obtaining of rich extracts in flavonoids and, at the same time, soluble in water, it also constitutes an area in which Nutrafur has obtained brilliant results.
But, also, Nutrafur, not alone it has dedicated and it dedicates big efforts in their productive capacity of flavonoids, but in that of the scientific applied investigation. Fruit of it, is the recent publication of two revisions in scientific journals of high impact index, and that they can constitute a reference point for any investigator specialized in this polyphenols type.
