Bitter Principle Citrus

Bitter Principle Citrus – Premium Citrus Extract from Kang Biotech

Kang Biotech produces high-purity Bitter Principle Citrus, a bioactive chemical extracted from Citrus aurantium (bitter orange) using modern water and ethanol processes; We offer consistent quality with ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, and FAMI-QS certifications, supported by 11 years of production expertise and a supply chain spanning 20,000,000 m² of citrus plantations Our product meets worldwide pharmaceutical and food-grade standards with HPLC 98% purity and neohesperidin (CAS No: 13241-33-3). We provide steady supply for 40+ countries with our 33,000 m² production facility and 9 modern lines.

What Is Bitter Principle Citrus?

Flavonoids like nuringin and neohesperidin are in our goods, along with limonoids like limonin and nomilin. Those chemicals are made by orange peels, membranes, and seeds.

Industry can use the ideas in two different ways. Drug and nutrition supplement raw materials of high value, but they slow down the processing of juice, which hurts the economy.

Citrus fruits' tastes are controlled by tetranortriterpenoids and polyphenolics. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic-regulating properties are valued by the food, drink, and health insurance businesses.

Technical Specifications & Parameters

Our products extract is produced under strict quality standards to ensure consistency and compliance with international requirements.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Our products has good heat stability and different solubility profiles. Limonoids, like limonin (C₂₆H₃₀O₈), display limited water solubility yet remain structurally intact during 150°C pasteurization.

Flavanone glycosides like naringin have severe bitterness at 20 ppm. They hydrolyze to naringenin under certain circumstances.

We use HPLC to standardize our extracts to 90%-98% purity. Pure limonin melts at 298°C. These chemicals are non-volatile and oxidation-resistant, extending extract shelf life.

For best absorption in solid dose forms, particle size distribution is 100% thru 80 mesh. These guarantee your formulas operate consistently across applications.

Quality Control & Testing Standards

Every batch of Bitter Principle Citrus extract undergoes rigorous quality assurance. We measure the limonin-naringin ratio using HPLC for batch-to-batch uniformity.

Important Inspection Parameters:

• Purity: HPLC minimum 95% total bitter principles
• Heavy Metal Screening: Lead <0.5 ppm, Arsenic <0.2 ppm (USP/EP limits).
• Hexane or ethanol GC testing for solvent residues ensures food safety.
• Particle Size Distribution: 100%–80 mesh for bioavailability
• Microbiology: <1000 cfu/g Total Plate Count, no pathogen tolerance.

Fingerprint IR spectroscopy and isotopic analysis are available at our Hunan Institute of Agricultural Product Processing and Quality Safety Joint Research Center. This confirms Citrus aurantium or Citrus grandis botanical origin.

Industrial Applications

Our products serves three high-performance areas that require precise and reliable formulations.

Extract is a key element in metabolic health supplements. Dietary supplements for cardiovascular and metabolic health benefit from better lipid profiles and insulin sensitivity.

At sub-threshold doses, functional beverage engineering can boost premium tonics' zest. It standardizes craft beverage bittering by substituting synthetic chemicals with natural ones.

Organic farming uses the extract as a biodegradable insect repellant and antifeedant. Complex molecular structure limits pest adaptability, protecting fragile botanical habitats sustainably.

UHT and pasteurization are possible with the compound's thermostability. We treat delayed bitterness by enzymatic debittering or resin adsorption for your application.

FAQ

Q: How do goods tolerate high-temperature processing?

A: These chemicals are thermostable. Limonin is stable at 150°C, making it appropriate for UHT and pasteurization.

Q: What is 'delayed bitterness' and how is it treated?

A: Under acidic circumstances, the non-bitter precursor (LARL) becomes limonin. We use enzymatic debittering or resin adsorption to meet your formulation demands.

Q: Are the goods water-soluble?

A: Water-insoluble pure limonoids. For beverage applications, we provide micronized or complexed cyclodextrin versions to improve dispersibility in aqueous solutions.

Q: How do you check extract origin?

A: We utilize fingerprint IR spectroscopy and isotopic analysis to verify that the extract is from Citrus aurantium or Citrus grandis.

Q: What is the shelf life of standardized powder?

A: Potency stays steady for 24–36 months in sealed UV-protected containers in a cold, dry environment, assuring product dependability.
