Greenherb operates a certified processing facility specializing in Cornus Officinalis Extract, a standardized iridoid glycoside-rich ingredient derived from the dried sarcocarp of Cornus officinalis through controlled hydroalcoholic extraction and spray drying. Our production system delivers consistent morroniside and loganin co-standardization, verified botanical identity, and batch-level documentation for kidney wellness, liver comfort, and metabolic supplement formulations rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine heritage.
Why Choose Greenherb Cornus Officinalis Extract
Iridoid Glycoside Dual Standardization — Each batch is verified by HPLC for both morroniside and loganin content independently. These two cyclopentanoid iridoid glycosides are the primary active markers of Cornus officinalis sarcocarp in both Chinese Pharmacopoeia and international quality standards. Dual verification confirms the authentic iridoid profile beyond single-marker total glycoside testing.
Sarcocarp-Exclusive Sourcing — Our extract uses only the fleshy sarcocarp of Cornus officinalis, removing seeds before extraction. The seed fraction contains different alkaloid compounds with distinct phytochemistry. Sarcocarp exclusivity is a fundamental quality requirement in TCM pharmacopeia standards for this ingredient.
Polysaccharide Co-Retention — Beyond iridoid glycosides, our extraction protocol retains a meaningful Cornus officinalis polysaccharide fraction. This dual-component profile supports both the traditional kidney wellness positioning and contemporary immune comfort supplement concepts within a single ingredient identity.
Spray-Dried Powder Consistency — Liquid extract converts to free-flowing powder through controlled spray drying with food-grade carrier support, integrating directly into capsule filling and tablet granulation operations.
Heavy Metal and Pesticide Compliance — Every lot undergoes ICP-MS heavy metal screening and GC/LC-MS pesticide residue analysis against EU and US thresholds before release.
Complete Export Documentation — COA, MSDS, Non-GMO affidavit, iridoid glycoside certificate, and heavy metal test report accompany every shipment.
Certificate of Analysis
What Is Cornus Officinalis Extract
The Fruit and Its TCM Classification
Cornus officinalis is a small deciduous tree producing glossy red drupes. The dried sarcocarp, known as Shan Zhu Yu in TCM, is classified as a liver and kidney tonic herb in traditional Chinese pharmacopoeias. It is one of the most widely used botanicals in classical TCM kidney-nourishing formulations. The classical formula Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, one of the most prescribed traditional formulas in Chinese medicine, contains Cornus officinalis as a primary ingredient. This deep traditional heritage distinguishes Cornus officinalis from many newer supplement ingredients without established clinical use backgrounds.
Extract vs. Cornus Officinalis Powder
Cornus Officinalis Powder produced through simple drying and milling of sarcocarp material retains all fruit components at naturally occurring iridoid concentrations, which are typically low and variable between harvest batches. Cornus Officinalis Extract undergoes selective hydroalcoholic extraction and HPLC dual standardization to concentrate morroniside and loganin to defined specifications. This delivers consistent iridoid glycoside loading that crude sarcocarp powder cannot provide for supplement formulations requiring documented active compound content per serving.
Production Process
Incoming Cornus officinalis sarcocarp is authenticated by macroscopic examination and HPLC iridoid fingerprinting. Morroniside and loganin content, moisture, heavy metals, and microbiological status are screened before processing.
Seed Removal and Preparation — Dried Cornus officinalis fruit undergoes mechanical de-seeding to remove the seed fraction, retaining only the sarcocarp material. This step is a pharmacopeia-specified quality requirement for this botanical.
Size Reduction — De-seeded sarcocarp is mechanically reduced to defined particle size, maximizing solvent contact surface area for optimal iridoid glycoside extraction efficiency.
Hydroalcoholic Extraction — Ground sarcocarp undergoes controlled water-alcohol extraction under defined temperature, time, and solvent ratio parameters to selectively solubilize the iridoid glycoside and polysaccharide fractions.
Filtration and Concentration — Crude extract undergoes multi-stage filtration to remove insoluble fruit fiber and particulate matter, then concentrates under vacuum at controlled temperatures preserving heat-sensitive iridoid compounds.
Dual Iridoid Standardization — Concentrated extract is measured by HPLC for morroniside and loganin content independently. Controlled blending achieves both target specifications simultaneously.
Quality Release and Packaging — Spray-dried powder is tested for morroniside content, loganin content, polysaccharide profile, moisture, heavy metals, and microbiological compliance before sealing in double-layer PE inner bags with desiccants in light-proof nitrogen-flushed drums.
Functional Properties & Benefits
Kidney Comfort and Urogenital Wellness
