Pomegranate extract

Pomegranate extract (CAS 84961-57-9), also supplied under the botanical designation Punica granatum ext., is a standardized plant-derived ingredient sourced from the fruit of Punica granatum.

It delivers concentrated polyphenolic antioxidant activity and characteristic tart-fruity flavor across food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical manufacturing. In food and beverage production, it functions as a natural flavoring agent.

It acts as an antioxidant stabilizer in juices, functional drinks, confectionery, and dairy products with FEMA 2918 status supporting its use as a recognized flavor ingredient in various global markets.

Nutraceutical manufacturers incorporate it into dietary supplements and capsule formulations targeting antioxidant positioning. In personal care, it is used in anti-aging serums, creams, and hair care products.

The polyphenol content supports oxidative stability in the finished formula. Pharmaceutical and health food applications also draw on its acidulant properties to adjust flavor profiles in chewable tablets.

Pomegranate extract is available as a spray-dried powder, liquid extract, and concentrated paste. Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade, with specifications defined by polyphenol or ellagic acid content.

Common concentrations include 40% or 70% standardization. Organic-certified material is available from select suppliers to meet clean-label and natural formulation requirements for high-end consumer products.
