Maca Extract
Lepidium meyenii (syn. L. peruvianum) root ingredient for specification-led product development; confirm species, plant part, processing and form for the selected grade.
Material & Specification
- Botanical identity: Lepidium meyenii; verify the declared species and root/hypocotyl material.
- Form: Distinguish whole-root powder from extract; for extracts, confirm ratio, native extract content, solvent and carriers.
- Confirm: Any macamides/macaenes marker claim and test method, sensory profile, moisture, microbiology, contaminants and current batch COA.
Applications & Formulation
Assess flavour, colour, dispersion, sediment and flow in the intended powder, capsule or beverage matrix. Gelatinised and untreated powders are different processing forms; confirm the selected grade rather than assuming equivalence. Finished-product suitability must be assessed for Australia and New Zealand separately.
Documents & Enquiries
For Australia or New Zealand B2B enquiries, share the intended application, root or extract format, target specification, document needs, sample or bulk quantity and destination.
