Sourcing and specifications
Butterfly Pea CO2 Extract is produced in Czechia from Clitoria ternatea flowers via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. The viscous liquid with characteristic odor is supplied in 100 g packs and retains lipophilic plant constituents including tannins and high-molecular peptides. CO2 Extracts Wholesale provide consistent quality for repeatable results in industrial batches. The extract demonstrates blue coloring capacity in emulsions and dissolves in polysorbate-80, oils and triglycerides.
Manufacturers value the stable performance in clean-label projects where botanical origin and predictable behavior matter.
