artichoke extracts

The most common specification is 5% total caffeoylquinic acids by UV, but many customers request a stricter HPLC profile targeting 2.5% cynarin. We can also work with a dual-standard approach if your label requires both numbers. Tell us your target active, and we will check if our current batch profile fits.

Because we control the leaf sourcing through contracted farms, we reduce the natural swings that come from open-market purchasing. Each batch goes through HPLC fingerprinting before release, and we retain samples for at least two years. If a new order needs to match a previous one, we can blend or adjust parameters to keep the active content within your tolerance range.

Our production lines operate under GMP and HACCP systems, and the facility holds FDA registration, BRC, and CE mark where applicable. These are not just paper audits; our QA team runs internal testing against USP protocols for microbials, heavy metals, and residual solvents. When you need a specific certificate, we can coordinate a third-party lab report quickly.

For a first trial, we often start with a 1 kg sample that lets you run pilot batches and check compatibility. Once you move to commercial scale, the lead time and MOQ depend on the specification; we usually ship orders of 25 kg or more, but smaller runs are possible if the schedule allows. Just discuss your projected volumes with the team so we can align inventory.

Yes, though the bitterness needs attention. The powder dissolves acceptably in water-ethanol systems, which works for herbal tinctures and some enhanced waters. For clear ready-to-drink products, you might need to test filtration and flavor masking early. We can share typical solubility and pH data when you request a sample.
