Botanical Source: Artemisia annua L. (Sweet Wormwood, Qinghao)
Used Part: Dried Leaves and Flowering Tops
Extraction Type: Typically utilizes supercritical CO₂, solvent (e.g., ethanol), or water-based extraction to capture target compounds.
Key Active Components: Standardized for Artemisinin content (e.g., 0.3%–1.5%), along with Artemisia Ketone, Flavonoids, and other sesquiterpenes.
Appearance: Fine, greenish-brown to dark green powder with a characteristic aromatic scent.
Solubility: Varies by extract type; CO₂ and oil-soluble extracts are lipophilic, while aqueous extracts offer water solubility.
Shelf Life: Stable when stored in cool, dry conditions away from light.
Our process is designed to gently and efficiently capture the delicate yet potent compounds of Artemisia annua:
Sustainable Cultivation & Harvest: Sourced from controlled cultivation to ensure optimal artemisinin content and absence of contaminants. Harvested at peak flowering stage when bioactive levels are highest.
Gentle Drying & Milling: Fresh plant material is carefully shade-dried or low-temperature dried to preserve volatile terpenes and thermolabile artemisinin, then milled to a uniform particle size.
Targeted Extraction: Depending on the desired end-use profile, we employ supercritical CO₂ extraction (for high-artemisinin, lipid-soluble extracts) or hydroethanolic extraction (to capture a broader spectrum of polar and non-polar compounds).
Filtration & Concentration: The crude extract is filtered to remove plant debris and concentrated under vacuum at low temperatures to prevent degradation of sensitive actives.
Standardization & Blending: The concentrated extract is analytically tested and blended to achieve a consistent, guaranteed level of artemisinin and/or total flavonoids.
Drying & Final Processing: The standardized liquid is spray-dried or formulated into a stable powder form, often with a food-grade carrier to ensure free-flowing properties.
Comprehensive Quality Verification: Each batch undergoes rigorous HPLC analysis to confirm artemisinin content, fingerprint profile, and safety parameters (heavy metals, microbiology, residual solvents).
