Leonurus extract is a concentrated plant active ingredient obtained through a specific extraction process using Leonurus as raw material. It is commonly in the form of a brownish yellow fine powder and has water-soluble characteristics. Its core ingredients are derived from the whole plant of Leonurus heterophyllus, and the purity of the ingredients is verified by TLC detection method. The quality level meets food grade standards and can be widely used in food, health products and other fields. This extract retains the active ingredients such as alkaloids and flavonoids in motherwort by concentrating plant active substances, providing a standardized raw material basis for downstream product development.
1、 Extraction process and component characteristics:
The extract of Leonurus heterophyllus is prepared by water extraction, that is, water soluble ingredients in plants are extracted through hot water immersion, boiling and other steps, and then water is removed by spray drying technology to form a uniform powder. This process can preserve the active substances such as flavonoids and alkaloids in motherwort, while avoiding high temperature damage to nutritional components. The “10:1″ or “20:1″ in the product specifications indicate the concentration ratio, which means that 1 kilogram of extract powder can be extracted for every 10 kilograms or 20 kilograms of raw materials. The higher the concentration, the relatively higher the content of active ingredients. The powder has a mesh size of 80-100, with fine particles and good solubility, and can be directly added to liquid or solid products.
2、 Application scenarios and usage methods:
As a food ingredient, motherwort extract is mainly used in the formulation of functional foods, beverages, or health products. For example, it can be added to tea substitutes, nutritional supplements, or medicinal food products to provide the natural active ingredients of motherwort. When using, the dosage should be adjusted according to the product formula, usually following the raw material addition standards specified in the national standard. When storing, the environment should be kept dry and cool, avoiding direct sunlight or high temperatures. Aluminum foil bags or cardboard drums can effectively isolate moisture and extend the shelf life to 24 months. After opening the bag, it should be used as soon as possible, and any unused parts should be sealed and stored.
3、 Technical standards and quality testing:
The production of motherwort extract must comply with national standards and undergo strict testing from raw material cultivation to finished product delivery. The extraction source is limited to the above ground parts of the family Lamiaceae Leonurus to ensure the purity of the raw materials; The detection method adopts TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography), which can quickly identify the characteristic components in the extract and avoid doping or contamination. The product is a uniform brownish yellow powder with no lumps or odors, and the solution becomes clear after dissolution. If other concentration ratios or customized packaging specifications are required, they can be adjusted through communication with the supplier, but it is necessary to ensure that the final product complies with relevant regulatory standards.
4、 Difference from ordinary raw materials:
Compared with the direct use of motherwort hay or crude extract, spray dried concentrated powder has three advantages: first, the concentration of active ingredients is higher, and the effect can be achieved with less addition; Secondly, the powder form is easy to measure and mix, making it suitable for industrial production; The third is to reduce nutrient loss and retain more biological activity through low-temperature drying technology. In addition, standardized production processes ensure the stability of ingredients in each batch of products, making them suitable for application scenarios that require strict quality control.
