The TDS of Ashitaba Extract Chalcones Powder

Ashitaba Extract Chalcones Powder Botanical Source

The tender stems and leaves of Ashitaba are the core raw materials for our extraction, as these two parts have the highest content of chalcone compounds, along with the advantages of convenient harvesting and rapid regeneration, making them suitable for large-scale continuous production.

The roots also contain a certain amount of chalcones, yet the content is lower than that in the stems and leaves. Moreover, harvesting the roots will damage the plants and render them unable to regenerate.

The flowers, seeds and other parts of Ashitaba have extremely low chalcone content, and are also difficult to collect.

Ashitaba Extract Chalcones Powder Manufacturer Process Flow Chart

• Select fresh tender stems and leaves of Ashitaba, clean, dry (hot air or vacuum freeze drying), and crush into 20–40 mesh powder.
• Use 50%–70% ethanol-water solution as solvent, mix at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10–1:20, and perform reflux or ultrasonic-assisted extraction at 50–60℃ (2–3 cycles, 1–2 hours each).
• Filter and centrifuge the extract to remove residues; concentrate under vacuum to get extract paste. Purify via macroporous resin column (e.g., AB-8) with gradient ethanol elution to increase total chalcone content to over 15%.

Concentrate the purified eluent, dry into powder by spray or vacuum freeze drying; crush and sieve through 80–120 mesh, then sterilize and package.                    ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
