Ginseng extract

Ginseng extract (CAS 90045-38-8), also known as Panax Ginseng Extract, is a standardized botanical derived from the root of the Panax genus, processed into concentrated form for industrial use. It functions as a bioactive ingredient and natural antioxidant across food, nutraceutical, and personal care manufacturing. Buyers source it primarily for its ginsenoside content, which drives specification and pricing decisions.

In dietary supplements and nutraceutical formulations, it is incorporated into capsules, tablets, and functional beverages where ginsenoside standardization is a key quality requirement. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a flavoring and functional ingredient in energy drinks, teas, and fortified foods. In personal care, it is formulated into anti-aging creams and serums.

It is also used in scalp treatments where antioxidant activity supports product positioning. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as an active botanical ingredient in OTC preparations and herbal medicinal products. Ginseng extract is supplied as a dry powder or liquid extract, with powder being the dominant commercial form. Standard grades include food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade options for global supply chains.

Specifications are typically defined by ginsenoside content, commonly 5%, 10%, 20%, or 80% standardization. FCC and USP-referenced grades are available for regulated applications.
