Eriodictyon crassifolium extract

Eriodictyon crassifolium extract (CAS 90028-41-4), derived from the thick-leaved yerba santa plant native to California, is used in food and pharmaceutical applications primarily as a flavoring agent and taste modifier.

It is recognized for its ability to mask bitter and unpleasant tastes in formulations where palatability is a commercial priority. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the extract is incorporated into oral dosage forms.

These include tablets, syrups, and chewable formulations used to suppress the bitterness of active ingredients without altering their efficacy profile. Food and beverage producers use it as a natural flavoring component.

This is particularly useful where clean-label bitter-masking is required. In nutraceutical products, it supports the formulation of dietary supplements that would otherwise be difficult to consume due to off-notes.

These off-notes often come from vitamins or botanical actives. Personal care formulators apply it in oral care products where flavor balance and antioxidant stabilization are both relevant to product shelf performance.

Eriodictyon crassifolium extract is typically supplied as a liquid extract or dry powder, with concentration and solvent profiles varying by intended application. Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade designations are available.

Availability depends on the regulatory requirements of the target market. Buyers should confirm extraction solvent, standardization parameters, and compliance documentation when evaluating suppliers for regulated end uses.
