Products Description
Premium Basil Herb Extract Powder | 5% Rosmarinic Acid | GMP, ISO Certified | Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Support
Sourced from Ocimum basilicum leaves cultivated in pollution-free high-altitude regions, our Basil Herb Extract Powder uses low-temperature ethanol extraction to preserve heat-sensitive bioactives like rosmarinic acid (≥5%), eugenol, and linalool. Clinically proven to combat oxidative stress, inflammation, and microbial infections, this non-GMO, allergen-free powder supports nutraceuticals, functional foods, cosmetics, and aromatherapy. Certified ISO 9001, FDA-GMP, Halal, and Kosher. Free from maltodextrin and synthetic additives, with 24-month stability.
Key Highlights:
- Antioxidant Power: ORAC value ≥16,000 µmol TE/g-neutralizes free radicals 30% faster than green tea.
- Neuroprotection: Enhances GABA activity, reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality.
- Skin Health: Topical use ↓ acne lesions by 45% and ↑ hydration in 4 weeks.
- Eco-Conscious: Zero-waste production; recyclable packaging.

production process flowchart
1.Organic Harvesting
- Timing: Pre-flowering stage (peak rosmarinic acid: 1.8-2.2% dry weight).
- Quality Control: Vibrant green leaves, no discoloration/wilting.
2.Washing & Sanitization
- Method: Cold water rinse + food-grade sanitizer (e.g., peracetic acid) to remove soil/dust.
- Critical Note: Over-washing diminishes flavor oils; balance microbial safety with oil retention.
3.Stem Removal & Leaf Preparation
- Efficiency: Manual destemming for small batches; mechanical rollers for industrial scale.
- Purpose: Stems dilute bioactive concentration; leaf-only processing maximizes polyphenol yield.
4.Low-Temperature Drying
- Parameters: Shade-drying or dehydrators (≤40°C) to retain heat-sensitive terpenes (eugenol, linalool).
- Moisture Target: ≤8% for optimal extraction efficiency.
5.Ethanol Extraction
- Solvent: 70-80% food-grade ethanol (balances polyphenol yield and solvent cost).
- Science: Ethanol outperforms water/vinegar in extracting non-polar compounds (e.g., essential oils).
- Yield Optimization: 50-60°C for 4-6hrs extracts ≥90% rosmarinic acid.
6.Multistage Filtration
- Process: Depth filtration → 0.2μm membrane ultrafiltration.
- Purpose: Removes chlorophyll, waxes, and macromolecules while preserving antioxidants.
7.Vacuum Concentration
- Technology: Rotary evaporator or falling-film concentrator (≤45°C).
- Output: 20-30° Brix concentrate to minimize spray-drying energy costs.
8.Spray Drying
- Parameters: Inlet 150°C → Outlet 60°C (retains >95% bioactivity vs. drum drying).
- Carrier Agent: Maltodextrin-free; organic rice starch used for flowability.
9.Bioactive Standardization
- Method: Rosmarinic acid fortified using HPLC-guided blending to ensure ≥5% potency.
10.GMP Lab Testing
- Assays:
-HPLC: Rosmarinic acid, eugenol.
-GC-MS: Residual ethanol (≤50ppm).
-ICP-MS: Heavy metals (Pb≤0.5ppm, As≤0.5ppm).
11.Packaging
- Preservation: Nitrogen-flushed foil bags/HDPE drums + desiccant.
- Shelf Life: 24 months at ≤25°C.
Problem-Solving Case Studies
Case 1: Functional Beverage Brand
- Problem: Synthetic preservatives caused customer complaints.
