Chlorogenic acid (CAS 327‑97‑9) is a natural phenolic compound widely found in coffee beans, honeysuckle, green tea and many fruits. It appears as pale‑yellow crystalline powder, soluble in water and polar solvents.
It possesses antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals. Applied in functional food, dietary supplements and cosmetics. As a plant‑derived bioactive ingredient, it exhibits thermal‑sensitivity and degrades under high‑temperature processing. It is not a conventional food additive but commonly used as functional component within permitted dosage ranges.
Chlorogenic acid is a natural water‑soluble phenolic antioxidant mainly extracted from green coffee beans, honeysuckle and certain fruits. It is not a conventional general‑purpose food preservative, but widely applied in functional foods, dietary supplements and food preservation systems, relying on its free‑radical‑scavenging and mild antimicrobial propertiesOxford Aca....
In functional food and dietary supplement sector, it is the major application field. It is incorporated into solid powders, tablets, beverages and fermented dairy products such as yoghurt and soymilk to enhance total antioxidant capacity. Related commercial products claim benefits in modulating carbohydrate metabolism and mitigating oxidative stress. It should be noted that thermal processing, high pH and light exposure will accelerate its degradation, so encapsulation technology is often adopted to retain bioactivity during production and shelf‑storage.
As a natural auxiliary preservative, chlorogenic acid inhibits lipid oxidation and suppresses mould and bacterial reproduction. In meat, aquatic and baked food systems, it slows lipid rancidity and delays quality deterioration. It cannot completely replace chemical preservatives; normally it works synergistically together with other permitted preservatives to extend shelf‑life and reduce individual preservative dosageMDPI.
It can also be applied in active food‑contact packaging. Incorporated into packaging films, it migrates moderately onto food surface, delivering antioxidant and bacteriostatic effects and protecting food from oxidative spoilage. This indirect application helps reduce direct additive dosage inside food matrixOxford Aca....
Sensory and regulatory limitations should be considered. High dosage brings bitter astringent taste, which negatively influences food flavour. It is thermally‑labile, so high‑temperature sterilisation will partially destroy its active structure. In many regions, purified chlorogenic acid extract belongs to novel‑food material, subject to strict usage scope and daily intake limits. It is largely used in supplements rather than widely added into common staple food.
In summary, chlorogenic acid serves as bioactive fortifier and auxiliary antioxidant. Its value lies in natural functional positioning. Formulators must control addition level, avoid harsh processing conditions and comply with local novel‑food and supplement regulations to guarantee product safety and sensory acceptability.
