Alfalfa extract

Alfalfa extract (CAS 84082-36-0), also sourced and traded as Lucerne extract, is a concentrated botanical derived from Medicago sativa used across food, nutraceutical, and personal care industries.

It delivers a broad spectrum of naturally occurring nutrients including chlorophyll, flavonoids, and plant proteins valued for antioxidant and stabilizing activity in finished formulations.

In dietary supplements and functional foods, it supplies concentrated plant-based nutrients supporting green food and superfood product lines. Feed and agricultural supplement manufacturers incorporate it.

It is used as a natural nutritive additive in animal nutrition formulations where plant-sourced micronutrients are preferred over synthetic alternatives. Cosmetic and personal care formulators use it.

It is applied in skin-conditioning products where botanical antioxidants are required to support formulation stability. Food producers also apply it as a natural colorant and flavor contributor.

With FEMA 2013 recognition supporting its use in flavoring applications, it is supplied as a dry powder, spray-dried granules, or liquid concentrate depending on downstream processing requirements.

Standard grades include food-grade and feed-grade specifications, with some suppliers offering standardized extracts defined by chlorophyll or total flavonoid content for specific industrial needs.

Organic-certified material is available for suppliers targeting clean-label or certified organic finished products, ensuring compliance with global botanical quality standards and market demands.
