elderberry flower extract

Huacheng Biotech supplies elderberry flower extract produced through a closed-loop process—from contracted plantations in central China to a GMP- and BRC-certified extraction facility. The vertical setup keeps logistics lean, which directly benefits bulk pricing and lot-to-lot consistency. This extract runs on a standardised ethanol-water extraction method, which preserves the water-soluble flavonoid glycosides while keeping residual solvent levels well below ICH limits. A typical certificate of analysis lists total polyphenols by UV spectrophotometry and individual flavonoid markers (rutin, hyperoside, isoquercitrin) by HPLC. The fine powder passes 80-mesh screen, disperses without gumming in cold water, and has a shelf life of 24 months under sealed, cool storage. For applications in syrups, lozenges, or powdered drink mixes, the extract’s mild floral taste usually blends without requiring heavy masking. Batch sizes scale from 25 kg for initial trials up to several hundred kilograms against a blanket order, with typical lead time of 10–15 working days after confirmation. QA documentation includes allergen statements, GMO-free declarations, and residual solvent reports. While the extract is not exotic by any means, its practicality comes from predictable parameters and a supply chain that skips unnecessary intermediaries—making it a sensible option for companies that formulate across multiple botanical ingredients and need reliable secondary standards.
