Jujuba Extract Powder

Jujuba Extract Powder is a botanical ingredient produced from jujuba core using a grain alcohol and water extraction process. Supplied as a fine brown-yellow powder with a 10:1 extract ratio, it is intended for use in dietary supplements, functional foods, powdered beverages, and other botanical formulations. Its defined powder specifications provide a reference for raw material selection and formulation development.

Jujuba Extract Powder is made from jujuba core through extraction using grain alcohol and water. The 10:1 extract ratio indicates the stated concentration relationship between the starting botanical material and the finished extract.

For supplier qualification and formula matching, buyers should confirm the botanical name, the precise meaning of "core," and the basis used to calculate the extract ratio. These details help distinguish the material from extracts made from other parts of the jujuba plant.

The product specification covers physical characteristics, composition-related parameters, contaminants, and microbiological limits. These values provide a basis for reviewing the ingredient against formulation and purchasing requirements.

Physical properties: Brown-yellow appearance, fine powder form, and particle size with at least 90% passing through 80 mesh.

Moisture and ash: Moisture and total ash are each specified at no more than 5.0%.

Heavy metals: Total heavy metals are limited to 10 ppm, with individual limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.

Microbiological parameters: Limits are specified for total plate count and total yeast and mold. E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus are required to be negative.

Buyers should compare these limits with their own raw material specifications and applicable market requirements before approving the ingredient.

Jujuba Extract Powder can be evaluated for different finished-product formats according to the target dosage form, formula composition, and processing conditions.

Capsules and Tablets: The fine powder format allows the ingredient to be considered for solid dosage formulations alongside other botanical or nutritional ingredients. Particle size, moisture, flowability, and compatibility with other components should be assessed during product development.

Powdered Beverages: The stated water solubility makes the extract a candidate for water-based powder formulations. Actual dissolution, dispersion, flavor, and sedimentation should be checked under the intended preparation conditions.

Functional Foods and Multi-Ingredient Formulas: The extract can be incorporated into selected botanical and nutritional blends. Formulators should evaluate the ingredient's sensory profile, inclusion level, moisture sensitivity, and stability within the complete product.

Jujuba Extract Powder can be evaluated for different product formats and formula requirements. Custom specifications and order configurations should be confirmed according to the actual product and supply capabilities.

Quality evaluation should cover the product's physical and chemical characteristics, contaminant limits, and microbiological requirements.

Physical & Chemical Testing: Appearance, particle size, moisture, total ash, extract ratio, and extraction method are relevant parameters for checking the product against the agreed specification.

Contaminant & Microbiological Testing: Heavy metals and microbiological parameters should be reviewed against the limits listed in the product specification. Buyers can confirm the applicable test methods and batch results during supplier qualification.

Batch Consistency: When assessing a new supplier or repeat orders, buyers should compare batch-specific results against the agreed specification. Any changes to botanical source, plant part, extraction process, or product parameters should be reviewed before acceptance.

Technical and quality documents are important for evaluating a botanical ingredient before purchase. Buyers should confirm which documents are available for the specific product and order.

Documents that may be relevant to supplier qualification include:

• Product specification or Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
• Batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA)
• Heavy metal and microbiological test results
• Extraction process and solvent information
• Country of origin and botanical source information
• Applicable regulatory or compliance statements
• Third-party laboratory reports, if available

The document set should be confirmed with the supplier rather than assumed from the general product specification. Buyers should also check that the documents correspond to the actual material and intended market.

Bulk Packaging: Standard packaging options are 1 kg/bag and 25 kg/drum. Packaging requirements for different order quantities should be confirmed before purchasing.

Storage Conditions: Keep the powder tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from moisture, excessive heat, and strong sunlight. Minimize exposure to humidity during opening, weighing, blending, and repacking.
