Passion Flower Extract – Herbal Extraction Plant
Passion Flower Extract is produced from the leaves and flowers of Passiflora incarnata, a traditional botanical used to support relaxation, reduce mild anxiety and improve sleep quality. Mechotech’s extract is standardized to ensure consistent flavonoid content (e.g., vitexin) for reliable efficacy in nutraceutical and herbal formulations.
Extraction Process
- Flowering tops and leaves are harvested at optimal bloom and shade-dried.
- Dried material is milled to a fine powder for uniform extraction.
- Hydroalcoholic extraction isolates flavonoids and alkaloid fractions.
- Filtration removes plant residues and insoluble matter.
- Concentration under reduced pressure and purification enriches active constituents.
- Standardized by HPLC to specified flavonoid content (example: 4% vitexin, depending on SKU).
- Final extract supplied as spray-dried or freeze-dried powder for formulators.
