Product Description
Reliable Quercetin Powder Manufacturer & Bulk Supplier
Greenherb operates a dedicated flavonoid extraction line for Quercetin Powder. We source Sophora japonicaflower buds from contracted orchards, applying short-steam enzyme inactivation and sub-50°C ethanol extraction to protect native quercetin from enzymatic and thermal degradation. Recrystallization steps push assay to 95%/98% (HPLC, USP-aligned). Full export documentation and third-party testing ship with every batch.
Why Choose Greenherb Quercetin Powder
- Bud-Exclusive Sourcing – Unlike onion- or apple-derived material with <0.1% native quercetin, Sophorabuds deliver stable high-baseline actives, making our pure quercetin powder (98%) viable without excessive solvent cycling.
- Recrystallization Over Crude Extract – Many suppliers stop at resin-purified quercetin extract (mixed flavonoids: quercetin + rutin + kaempferol). We run an extra recrystallization pass to isolate single-marker quercetin, cutting residual rutin to <1%.
- Enzyme-Inactivation Pretreatment – Steam-blanching buds within 4h of harvest stops endogenous enzymes that break down quercetin, a step most bulk vendors skip.
- USP-NF Alignment – 98% grade tested against USP monograph (HPLC, impurity profile), suited for brands positioning best quercetin powder claims with verifiable compliance.
- Light-Sensitive Handling – 98% crystalline grade vacuum-packed in amber barrier bags, nitrogen-flushed drums to prevent oxidative yellowing during storage.
- Heavy Metal & Pesticide Screening – Multi-point ICP-MS and GC-MS per EU/US food-grade thresholds.
- Mesh & Carrier Flexibility – Default 80 mesh; carrier-adjusted grades (maltodextrin/silica) available for capsule flow or drink-mix dispersibility.
- Direct Bulk Pricing – Transparent quotes for quercetin powder bulk from 25kg trial to full FCL, no distributor layer.
Certificate of Analysis
Product Introduction
Quercetin Powder is a single-marker flavonol ingredient isolated from Sophora japonicaflower buds. It differs from broad-spectrum Sophoratotal flavonoid extract (which carries quercetin + rutin + kaempferol in unstandardized ratios): this product locks quercetin as the sole primary marker via recrystallization, delivering batch-consistent assay for formulators who need a defined flavonol load rather than a mixed botanical matrix. Two commercial grades run: 95% for blended immune SKUs and 98% for premium single-ingredient capsules.
Production Process
Greenherb follows a quercetin-specific workflow:
-
Bud Harvest & Enzymatic Kill – Sophorabuds picked at full plumpness, steam-blanched <4h post-harvest to deactivate quercetinase.
-
Low-Temp Drying – Belt drying <45°C, then uniform grinding.
-
Ethanol Extraction – Sub-50°C ethanol pulls quercetin and companion flavonoids.
-
Resin Purification – Macroporous resin strips rutin and pigments, concentrating quercetin fraction.
-
Recrystallization – Solvent-based crystal purge pushes assay to 98%, residue rutin <1%.
-
Vacuum Drying – Low-heat drying preserves crystalline structure.
-
QC Release – HPLC (USP method) for quercetin assay, impurity check, heavy metals, pesticides, microbiology per batch.
-
Protective Packaging – 98% grade vacuum-sealed in amber PE + desiccant, nitrogen-flushed fiber drums; 95% grade in standard light-shielded drums.
Functional Properties & Benefits
- Single-Marker Consistency – No lot-to-lot drift from mixed flavonoid loads; assay locked on quercetin via HPLC.
- Antioxidant Anchor – Frequently paired with vitamin C, rutin, or bromelain in synergistic immune/inflammatory-support blends.
- Formulation Versatility – 95% grade for cost-sensitive blends, 98% crystalline for premium SKUs requiring label claim precision.
- Stability Engineered – Low moisture + nitrogen + amber packaging supports 24-month shelf for 98% grade.
Applications
Immune & Seasonal Wellness
Capsule/tablet fill for quercetin-only or quercetin+vitamin C/rutin blended SKUs.
Sports Recovery
98% grade for post-exercise oxidative-stress formulations, often combined with bromelain or omega-3 carriers.
Functional Food & Beverage
Carrier-adjusted 95% grade for drink mixes, gummies, and fortified snack lines needing dispersible flavonol content.
Private Label R&D
Lab samples for brands testing quercetin stability in high-heat processing (extrusion, retort) — our low-moisture 98% grade shows better thermal retention than crude extracts.
