Special Notes
Escin reference substance is a mixture of structurally related saponins. A variety of assays are performed, including titration & loss on drying according to German Pharmacopoeia and a chromatographic purity by HPLC according to European Pharmacopoeia. The content expressed as protoescigenin is shown on the certificate of analysis as well. Please note that PhytoLab does also offer a protoescigenin reference substance, our product # 83898. Specifications for horse chestnut and horse chestnut extract in the European Pharmacopoeia are related to protoescigenin. The use of a protoescigenin reference standard would thus also allow the determination of the content of escin, calculated as protoescigenin.
