What are Ratio & Specification Extracts?

Ratio extracts represent a classic extraction standard where the starting plant material is concentrated by a specific weight factor (such as 4:1, 10:1, or 20:1) without targeting a single isolated active marker. This preserves the natural spectrum of the botanical while providing the volume reduction, solubility, and standardization required for modern supplement machinery and industrial B2B blending.

These extracts are ideal for brands focusing on:

  • Traditional whole-herb synergy concepts.
  • Familiar consumer-friendly botanical labeling.
  • Consistent physical powders with reliable density and mesh profiles.
  • A clean extraction process with simple, traditional solvents like water or ethanol.
  • Excellent bulk commercial viability for high-volume dietary supplement blends.

Key Formulations & Application Scenarios

Our ratio extracts are trusted across the B2B supply chain for diverse formulations:

  • Capsule & Tablet Blends: Reliable bulk density and dry-flow properties that run smoothly on high-speed encapsulating machines.
  • Herbal Teas & Instant Infusions: High water-solubility options that dissolve quickly and cleanly in both warm and cold liquid formats.
  • Functional Drink Powders: Ideal for post-workout powders, meal replacement shakes, and daily green-drink formulas.
  • Gummy & Chewable Actives: Heat-stable, high-concentration powders that incorporate seamlessly into gelatin or pectin bases.

Documentation, Safety, and Compliance Standards

Compliance is central to every bulk B2B purchase. We provide full regulatory support for all ratio extracts:

  • Batch Certificate of Analysis (COA): Validating species identity, extraction ratio, physical characteristics, and microbial safety parameters.
  • Technical Data Sheet (TDS): Comprehensive detail on plant parts used, mesh size, moisture content, and carriers (e.g., maltodextrin).
  • Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Required safety data for manufacturing facilities and logistics.
  • Contaminant Testing: Complete checks for heavy metals, pesticide residues, and solvent traces according to USP/FDA regulations.

Sourcing & Procurement FAQ

What does an extraction ratio (like 4:1) actually mean?

A 4:1 ratio means that 4 kilograms of raw starting botanical material were concentrated down to produce 1 kilogram of finished extract powder. This represents a concentration of the botanical matrix without isolating or standardizing to a specific active compound.

Are these ratio extracts water-soluble?

Solubility depends on the botanical and the extraction solvent. Many of our ratio extracts are optimized for high water solubility (e.g., instant tea applications). Please request the TDS or contact our team to confirm solubility profiles for specific ingredients.

How do you verify botanical identity?

We use Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) and HPTLC comparison against botanical reference standards to confirm that the correct genus and species were extracted, preventing species substitution or adulteration.

What is the typical commercial MOQ and delivery time?

For items in U.S. stock, delivery is usually 3-7 business days depending on location. For custom-made-to-order batches or direct factory shipments, lead times typically range from 4-6 weeks with custom MOQs depending on the product.
