Our Natural Saffron Extract is a 10:1 concentrated extract from Crocus sativus (Tibet Gangba high-altitude plateau, China’s premier saffron-growing region), processed via low-temperature water extraction (35°C) to preserve natural crocin (saffron acid glycoside) and carotenoids. Sourced from hand-harvested stigmas (peak pigment stage), it is standardized for crocin (3%+) and carotenoids (2%+), with zero additives and plateau cultivation authenticity (3800-4500m altitude for optimal active density). The 80-mesh powder is ideal for gourmet foods, functional beverages, and natural cosmetics.
- Crocin Purity: 3%+ HPLC-verified crocin (key color/antioxidant compound), 1.5x higher than average saffron extracts.
- Gentle Processing: 35°C low-temp extraction + spray drying retains 92% of actives (vs. 65% in heat extraction), preserving unique saffron aroma.
- Multifunctional Profile: Carotenoids (2%+) + flavonoids (1.5%+) support antioxidant and skin radiance.
- Global Compliance: Halal/Kosher certified, Non-GMO, meets FDA/EFSA food additive standards and EU Novel Food regulations.
