Chemical identity
CAS number: 10338-51-9
Molecular formula: C14H20O7
Other names: Rhodioloside, Rhodosin
Salidroside, also called rhodioloside, is a glycoside of tyrosol found in the roots and rhizomes of Rhodiola rosea. Its chemical identity is distinct from the group of compounds known as rosavins.
When comparing Rhodiola extract specifications, look for salidroside and total rosavins as separate entries. A total rosavins value does not tell you how much salidroside is present. For a specific grade, use its specification and the result for the batch.
