Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Grapefruit fruit extract arrives from Ukraine in 100 ml packs with INCI Citrus reticulata extract and remains stable until November 2028 when stored cool and dark in a tightly closed container. Liquid Extracts of this type dissolve readily in water, alcohol and glycerin, allowing flexible use across cosmetic and food-grade applications. Quality control checks focus on consistent concentration levels between 3 and 10 percent to meet batch reproducibility requirements in large-scale operations.
Integration into supplement and food manufacturing
International dietary supplement producers and confectionery factories source this botanical raw material for functional drinks, blends and food formulations. The 100 ml size supports pilot batches while Grapefruit Fruit Extract 1 L meets larger production runs. Input levels typically range from 3 to 10 percent depending on the final matrix. Food technologists appreciate the extract for its compatibility with syrup bases and powdered premixes used in nutritional bars and beverages.
Usage parameters for cosmetic laboratories
In emulsions the extract enters the aqueous phase during cooling below 40 °C at 1-5 percent for creams and toners or up to 7-8 percent in serums after compatibility checks. Hair-care formulas benefit from 1-3 percent additions that deliver a fresh sensory profile without altering viscosity. Laboratory protocols often include pre-dilution steps to ensure even dispersion throughout the batch volume.
Sample scalp-refreshing toner
Distilled water 85 g, grapefruit fruit extract 5 g, vegetable glycerin 4 g, apple fruit extract 3 g, preservative as required. Heat water to 35 °C, add glycerin and extracts, homogenize and bottle. The blend refreshes the scalp while remaining compatible with leave-on hair products.
Compatibility with other botanical extracts
The material pairs effectively with apple and hemp extracts in multi-functional cosmetic and nutritional systems, preserving its citrus character across different pH environments typical for B2B formulations. Botanical Extracts sections provide additional options for custom blending projects.
Storage recommendations
Keep in a tightly closed container away from light and heat to maintain stability through the stated shelf life. Regular inventory rotation helps preserve optimal organoleptic properties in long-term storage.
Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended temperature limit during incorporation?
Maintain below 40 °C to protect volatile fractions.
Is the extract suitable for functional beverage bases?
Yes, it serves as a botanical raw material in drink and supplement blends.
Does it affect emulsion stability?
