Pineapple extract

Pineapple extract (CAS 68917-26-0) is a concentrated botanical-derived ingredient obtained from Ananas comosus fruit. It delivers authentic tropical flavor and mild acidulant character to food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Buyers source it as a natural alternative to synthetic pineapple flavor systems. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a natural flavoring in juices, confectionery, dairy products, and baked goods.

This ingredient is ideal where a clean-label tropical profile is required. Personal care formulators incorporate it into skincare and haircare products such as face masks, exfoliating treatments, and conditioners.

The fruit-derived actives support product positioning around natural ingredients. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a flavoring agent to mask bitterness in syrups, chewable tablets, and dietary supplements.

It also appears in functional beverage formulations targeting natural flavor differentiation. Pineapple extract is supplied as a liquid concentrate or spray-dried powder, with the powder form preferred for dry blending.

Food-grade is the standard specification, with some suppliers offering material compliant with FCC or USP requirements for pharmaceutical use. These standards ensure high purity for sensitive applications.

Concentration levels vary by supplier, so buyers should confirm Brix values or solids content when sourcing liquid grades. Proper documentation ensures the extract meets the specific needs of the final formulation.
