Each batch undergoes HPLC verification for Hydroxysafflor Yellow A content, with heavy metal testing confirming Pb ≤3ppm, As ≤1ppm, and pesticide screening meeting EU 396/2005 standards. Backed by 25+ years of botanical extract expertise and certifications including FDA, ISO 9001, FSSC 22000, Kosher, and Halal, we guarantee consistent quality for your cardiovascular health supplements and functional food formulations. This product solves batch variability challenges while providing superior bioavailability compared to crude petal materials.

What Makes Our Safflower Extract Powder Different?

Raw botanical materials have uneven quantities of active ingredients and are poorly stable. Our product is focused on solving these key industry pain areas.

Carthamus tinctorius florets can be separated by accurate extraction procedures for water-soluble flavonoids and chalcone glycosides. This ensures consistent potency in each shipment.

Unlike crude flower powder which is easily degraded, our vacuum dried product is stable at many pH conditions. Tablets, pills and liquid supplements perform consistently.

All three of our manufacturing facilities have ongoing monitoring systems. TLC identification testing is done in every production run to avoid the potential for adulteration with cheaper marigold extracts or synthetic dyes.

FAQ

Q: Can the product be used in food products?

A: Yes. Safflower Yellow is approved in many countries such as China as a natural food colorant. Due to its water solubility and acid-stable coloring, it colors beverages, confectionery and baked goods. Check local rules for acceptable usage levels.

Q: How do you prevent adulteration with cheaper materials?

A: All batches undergo identification testing by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). This botanical fingerprinting technology can detect substitution with either marigold extracts or synthetic colors such as Tartrazine. As part of our supplier audit program, we conduct an on-site raw material source check.

Q: What is the difference between seed oil and floral extract?

A: Safflower seed oil is predominantly linoleic acid for nutritional uses. Flower extract concentrates Hydroxysafflor Yellow A and water-soluble flavonoids to enhance cardiovascular health. They serve very different functional objectives in compositions.

Q: How stable is the extract on storage?

A: Our extract is potent for 24 months if stored in sealed containers away from light and at temperatures below 25°C. We have stability data to back storage suggestions for your environment.

Q: Do you have organic certification?

A: Our normal production is based on conventional agricultural sources that comply with stringent pesticide residue limitations. If this specification is required in your market, please contact our team to discuss organic certification timescales for unique production runs.

Q: What documents do you give for customs clearance?

A: Standard export documents are: Certificate of Analysis, Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate, Non-GMO Statement, allergen declarations and material safety data sheets. We prepare all paperwork according to the destination country's regulations.
