1. HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography)
-
Think of it like when we used to “separate colors in ink with tissue paper” as kids.
-
HPLC works in a similar way — but with far greater precision.
-
It’s used to separate tiny compounds within the pollen into groups → to identify whether the pollen truly contains amino acids, flavonoids, phytosterols, etc., and in what quantities.
2. UV-Spectrometry
-
Imagine it as a “special pair of glasses” that can see how each substance absorbs light.
-
Different nutrients absorb light at different wavelengths.
-
So this method tells researchers, “Ah, this one is Vitamin C / Flavonoid / Antioxidant.”
Summary
Both HPLC and UV-Spectrometry are essentially “truth detectors.”
-
They confirm that Rye Pollen Extract isn’t just a pretty claim.
-
It truly contains amino acids, flavonoids, phytosterols, and antioxidants.
-
They can even quantify how much of each substance exists → guaranteeing high quality, not just an ordinary plant powder.
