SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE V1.0
Overcoming the hydrolytic degradation of anthocyanins via supramolecular solvent engineering. A shift from aqueous dissolution to Deep Eutectic suspension.

01. THE SUBSTRATE
Cyanidin-3-Glucoside (C3G) possesses the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of the flavonoid family. However, its flavylium cation structure is inherently unstable in water (pH > 4.5), leading to rapid hydration and loss of color (pseudobase formation).
The Challenge: Traditional skincare formulations are 70-80% water. This renders C3G inactive within days of bottling.
FIG 1.1: FLAVYLIUM CATION
02. THE VEHICLE
We utilize a binary system of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors that form a eutectic liquid at room temperature. This creates a water-free solvent cage that mimics the intracellular environment of a plant during drought stress.
