Application
Genipin: A Water-Soluble Bifunctional Crosslinking Reagent
Genipin is a compound isolated from gardenia fruits. Genipin is a water-soluble bifunctional crosslinking reagent with low cytotoxicity. Genipin is used as a good cross-linker for proteins, collagen, gelatin, and chitosan cross-linking. In addition, genipin can be used as a regulating agent for drug delivery, as an anti-inflammatory agent, and as the raw material for gardenia blue pigment preparation.
