Basic Information
The citron extract is derived from the dried and ripe fruits of Citrus medica L., a plant of the Citrus genus in the Rutaceae family. It is obtained by concentrating its essential components through advanced and sophisticated extraction processes. As early recorded in traditional medical classics such as Compendium of Materia Medica, citron has a variety of medicinal effects. It has also been long used in folk remedies for regulating the body and enhancing the flavor of food, carrying a profound cultural heritage.
Product Specifications
Divided according to the content of active ingredients:
Content of flavonoids: Common products have different specifications with hesperidin contents of 5%, 10%, 20%, etc., which can meet the requirements of the efficacy intensity of flavonoids in different application scenarios. For example, products with a hesperidin content of 5% - 10% are more suitable for general food flavoring and mild health care applications; while in the fields of medical health care and high-end functional foods, products with a high hesperidin content of 20% or above are more favored.
Divided according to the extraction ratio:
Common ratios include 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, etc. For example, 5:1 means that 1 kilogram of extract is obtained after extracting 5 kilograms of citron raw materials. The cost and content of active ingredients of products with such specifications are relatively moderate, and they are widely used in fields such as food additives and common health care products. Manufacturers can flexibly choose according to cost control and product positioning.
Product Characteristics
Appearance: It usually presents as a fine powder ranging from light yellow to light brown, with a uniform color and no visible impurities to the naked eye.
Odor: It has a rich and natural citron fruit aroma, which is pure and long-lasting. Sniffing it gives people a refreshing feeling.
Solubility: Some components are soluble in water, and the solubility is better in hot water. It is easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and propylene glycol. Its good solubility enables it to disperse evenly in different product systems such as aqueous solutions and oily solutions, which facilitates formula design and product processing.
Stability: Under the storage conditions of being sealed, in a cool place (temperature ≤ 25°C) and dry (relative humidity ≤ 60%), it can maintain good stability, and the shelf life usually can reach 24 months. However, direct sunlight and high-temperature and high-humidity environments should be avoided to prevent the volatilization of volatile oils and the oxidation and degradation of active ingredients, which may affect the product quality and efficacy.
