Bulk Hawthorn Extract for Functional Food, Beverage and Antioxidant Skincare Manufacturing
Hawthorn Extract Powder in a 1 kg package is aimed at manufacturers who need a reliable supply chain and consistent raw material quality across production batches. The concentrate is obtained from hawthorn berries through extraction followed by drying, which preserves a complex of flavonoids, organic acids and tannins that define the value of the plant for the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This item belongs to the category Powdered Extracts and Algae, which gathers plant concentrates for laboratory testing and full-scale production alike.
The largest global demand for hawthorn powder comes from the food and pharmaceutical sectors: the extract is used in capsulated and tableted dietary supplements, herbal teas, functional beverages and syrups, as well as in confectionery products marketed for cardiovascular support. In pharmaceutical manufacturing the powder serves as raw material for tinctures, standardized extracts and herbal complexes where consistent flavonoid content matters. In cosmetic production the extract is valued in antioxidant serums, creams for mature and sensitive skin, toners and formulations for skin prone to redness and broken capillaries, since hawthorn compounds help support capillary strength and reduce oxidative stress. A smaller, less common application is the use of hawthorn extract in botanical soap bases.
In formulations the powder is typically introduced into the water or hydro-alcoholic phase at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius to protect heat-sensitive flavonoids. Common dosage ranges from 0.1 to 1 percent for food products and beverages, and from 0.5 to 3 percent for cosmetic emulsions and serums. For capsules and tablets the extract is dry-blended with fillers without any thermal treatment, which helps preserve the activity of the active compounds.
Hawthorn extract combines well with other plant-based antioxidants, particularly with Green Tea Extract Powder, allowing manufacturers to strengthen the overall antioxidant profile of a formula by combining catechins with flavonoids. For laboratory trials before scaling up to full production volumes, it is convenient to work with more concentrated and smaller packages such as Hawthorn Flower Extract 10% Powder or Powder Hawthorn Flower Extract, which allows precise dosage adjustment before purchasing a full kilogram batch.
The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight, since the powder is hygroscopic and sensitive to moisture. Following these conditions helps preserve activity throughout the entire shelf life, which is particularly important for facilities working with large technological batches.
Antioxidant Functional Beverage Base
Hawthorn Extract Powder 28 g
Green Tea Extract Powder 9 g
Purified water 880 ml
Invert sugar syrup 320 g
Citric acid 3 g
Food-grade preservative 3 ml
Heat
the water to 55 degrees Celsius and dissolve the invert sugar syrup, then cool
the mixture to 40 degrees before adding the hawthorn extract together with the
green tea extract, stirring thoroughly until both powders are fully dissolved.
Add citric acid and the preservative, strain the mixture through a fine sieve
to remove any undissolved particles, and pour into clean containers. The
resulting concentrate can be dosed into functional beverages or syrups at a
ratio determined by the technologist during recipe trials for a specific
finished product.
