Products Description
Lotus Leaf Extract Powder (Latin name: Nelumbinis Folium Extractum; CAS#: 475-83-2) is a premium water-soluble herbal ingredient specifically developed for global B2B partners in the dietary supplement, functional food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries. It is extracted from the leaves of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. (lotus leaf), a traditional medicinal plant, via advanced water-soluble extraction and purification processes to concentrate nuciferine – its core bioactive alkaloid.
Our Lotus Leaf Extract Powder offers two high-potency grades: ≥5% and ≥10% nuciferine (both HPLC-verified), with no artificial additives, fillers, or preservatives. The specialized fully water-soluble formulation ensures rapid dissolution in water to form a stable, clear solution, retaining bioactivity across diverse processing conditions (pH 3.0-9.0, heat up to 120℃ for short periods). As a globally recognized plant-based ingredient, it aligns with consumer demand for natural, wellness-focused products.

What Makes Our Lotus Leaf Extract Different?
1. Extract vs Raw Powder vs Ratio Extract (Critical for Buyers)
Most procurement issues come from choosing the wrong category:
Lotus Leaf Powder (Ground Leaf)
No standardization
High fiber, low bioactive content
Unstable in beverages
Ratio Extract (10:1 / 20:1)
Based on the input-output ratio, NOT active content
Batch inconsistency risk
Limited efficacy claim support
Standardized Extract (Our Product)
Nuciferine quantified by HPLC
Stable, repeatable performance
Suitable for label claims and premium positioning
→ Conclusion: For functional products, only standardized extract ensures consistency.
2. HPLC vs UV Testing (Professional Buyers Focus Here)
HPLC (Our Standard)
Precisely quantifies nuciferine
High specificity
Required for international compliance
UV Method (Common in low-cost products)
Measures total alkaloids (not specific)
Easily overestimated
→ This is why two "10% products" may perform completely differently.
3. True Water-Soluble System (Not Just "Dispersible")
Many suppliers claim "water-soluble", but actually:
| Type | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Regular extract | Suspends, settles |
| Spray-dried | Cloudy solution |
| Our system | Clear, stable solution |
Impact for buyers:
No sediment in beverages
Better consumer experience
Longer shelf-life in liquids
