Technical Specifications & Quality Parameters

Our product meets stringent international quality standards for B2B applications. The following specifications ensure formulation consistency and regulatory compliance:

Bioactive Composition & Functional Benefits

This premium extract offers an extensive phytochemical profile beyond the theobromine standardization. Main active ingredients are flavonoids such as epicatechin, catechin and procyanidins and natural xanthines.

These polyphenolic chemicals are responsible for an excellent antioxidant capability, as demonstrated by the ORAC values. Standardized theobromine content ensures constant potency for predictable formulations.

We extract cacao's bioactive matrix to maintain its natural synergy. This guarantees that your finished goods deliver the entire spectrum of advantages available from superior cocoa seed extracts.

The extraction parameters are balanced for fat-soluble and water-soluble fractions. This adaptability enables a wide array of application types from capsules to liquids.

Manufacturing Excellence & Production Capabilities

Clover Origins has three GMP accredited manufacturing facilities for the production of botanical extracts. Our vertical integration encompasses raw material sourcing to final product packaging.

Each lot produced undergoes stringent in-process quality checks. We ensure full traceability from the seed source to the delivery of the finished product.

Our sophisticated spray-drying technique ensures reproducible particle size distribution. This significant parameter directly influences the flow characteristics and dissolution rates of your formulation.

Standard inventory products arrive within 1-2 business days from our climate-controlled warehouses. Custom specs are completed in 5-10 days depending on volume needs.

Flexible order amounts are supported from minuscule testing batches. This allows you to verify formulation compatibility before you commit to commercial scale purchase.

Quality Assurance & Regulatory Compliance

Our multi-tier quality control system tackles every problem professional purchasers have with botanical extracts. Independent verification is done by third-party testing from Eurofins, SGS and Alkemist Labs.

Testing Protocols Coverage:

Identity & Potency Verification: HPLC fingerprinting validates theobromine levels and screens for possible adulteration. Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis accompany each shipment.

Contaminant Screening: Extensive panels including testing for heavy metals, pesticide residues (beyond EU 396/2005 standards), PAHs and microbiological contamination using AOAC-validated methods.

Residual Solvent Analysis: Meets USP <467> for ethanol levels below detection limits. Our co-extraction with water minimizes solvent dependency.

Allergen & EO Testing: Each batch undergoes testing for ethylene oxide residues and cross-contamination hazards. Complete documentation for your global regulatory submissions.

Our SOPs are created using global compliance requirements. Key metrics meet or exceed the criteria of China GB, EU laws and US FDA recommendations.

Application Solutions & Formulation Support

Cocoa Seed Extract Powder is readily incorporated into various delivery modalities, thanks to its fine particle size and controlled moisture content.

Pilot batches are used to optimize the formulation prior to commercial manufacturing. Our project management team manages timelines from inception to final delivery.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 10% and 20% theobromine standardization?

A: The percentage indicates guaranteed theobromine content verified by HPLC. A 20% extract contains twice the concentration per gram compared to 10%, allowing lower dosage weights in formulations. Choose based on your desired potency and cost parameters.

Q: Is this extract water-soluble for beverage applications?

A: Standard grades have limited water solubility due to their lipophilic components. For clear beverage systems, request our water-dispersible version formulated with natural carriers like maltodextrin for improved suspension stability.

Q: How does extraction solvent choice impact the final product?

A: Our ethanol-water co-extraction preserves both polar and non-polar bioactives while avoiding hexane residues. This clean-label approach maintains organic compatibility when sourced from certified organic cacao seeds.

Q: What storage conditions maximize shelf life?

A: Store in sealed, light-resistant containers below 25°C with relative humidity under 60%. The polyphenolic compounds are sensitive to oxidation, so minimize air exposure after opening. Properly stored material maintains potency for 24 months.

Q: What documentation supports regulatory submissions?

A: Each batch includes Certificate of Analysis, allergen statements, BSE/TSE declarations, non-GMO affidavits, and country-of-origin certificates. We provide GRAS status documentation and support novel food applications where applicable.
