CO2 Extracts Wholesale section lists this material for laboratories and factories seeking consistent botanical inputs.
Composition and formulation value
The extract retains polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, carotenoids, tocopherols, organic acids, phytosterols and seed fatty acids such as linoleic, oleic and palmitic.
