Sourcing and specification for international buyers
Wheat germ from Triticum aestivum L. undergoes supercritical CO2 extraction using natural carbon dioxide in England, resulting in an oily liquid that is 100 percent natural and free of solvent residues or heavy metals. CO2 Extracts of this type stand out for their high concentration of tocopherols and unsaturated fatty acids preserved without thermal degradation. The 5 g pack is supplied for laboratory and pilot-scale applications, with INCI designation Triticum aestivum L. CO2 Extract accurately reflecting the composition and extraction method. The fat-soluble form integrates seamlessly into oil-based systems without additional stabilizers.
Technical parameters and value in formulations
Recommended input percentage ranges from 0,3 to 2 percent of total batch weight during the cool-down phase below 40 degrees Celsius. Shelf life extends to 12.2028 when stored in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container. This ensures stability against oxidation upon exposure to air and light, making the extract reliable for professional use across multiple industries.
Applications in supplements, food and cosmetics
Supplement manufacturers and food industry factories incorporate the extract as raw material for dietary supplements, functional beverages, confectionery and nutraceutical products. Wheat Germ CO2 Extract 100 g supports scalable production runs. Cosmetic laboratories add it to serums, creams and hair care emulsions. Botanical Extracts category includes complementary materials for custom blends in aroma and flavor development.
Sample formulation for hair and scalp care
A hair mask blend contains 0,8 percent extract, 30 percent argan oil, 10 percent jojoba oil and 0,5 percent tocopherol. Ingredients are combined at 35 degrees Celsius and packaged in amber glass. The mixture is applied to damp hair for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing.
Integration guidelines for manufacturers
Add the extract at the final stage after the base has cooled to preserve heat-sensitive compounds. It pairs effectively with other CO2 materials to create stable and consistent formulas for both cosmetic and food-grade applications.
Storage and handling recommendations
Keep the product protected from direct light and heat sources. The 5 g size suits initial formulation trials and small-batch testing before larger production. Buyers worldwide value the precision this volume offers during development.
