Sourcing and specifications for bulk buyers
International manufacturers seek reliable 1 kg packs of Echinacea purpurea flower CO2 extract produced in England via supercritical fluid extraction with natural carbon dioxide. The result is a 100% natural oily mass with waxy inclusions and characteristic aroma, free from solvent residues. CO2 Extracts Wholesale options support consistent formulation runs for cosmetic labs and supplement producers.
Technical parameters and integration
The extract is fat-soluble and introduced at 0.01-2% in the active phase at temperatures up to 40°C. This preserves volatile fractions during emulsification or blending. Cosmetic laboratories and dietary supplement factories worldwide use it as botanical raw material in creams, serums, capsules, and functional food blends.
Role in supplement and food manufacturing
Producers of dietary supplements and confectionery source the material for drink mixes, capsules, and fortified products. Echinacea CO2 Extract (flowers) 5 g serves as a trial size before scaling. The product supports repeatable batches in both retail and wholesale channels for global supply chains.
Formulation example for dietary supplement capsules
For a 1 kg dry blend: maltodextrin 800 g, echinacea CO2 extract 15 g, silica 5 g, natural flavor 180 g. Blend uniformly in dry state, then encapsulate or package. This serves as raw material for supplement and functional food lines.
Compatibility and process considerations
The extract integrates well with other CO2 concentrates in multi-component systems. Extracts Wholesale volumes help maintain supply continuity for contract manufacturers.
Storage guidelines and shelf life
Keep in tightly closed containers in a cool dark place. Stability extends to December 2028 under recommended conditions, supporting extended production cycles.
