Balsam pear extract

Balsam pear extract (CAS 93333-80-3), also marketed as Momordica charantia extract and Kudret Narı Ekstrakt, is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from bitter melon fruit. It is sourced for its antioxidant activity and characteristic bitter flavor profile.

This material serves as a functional ingredient in nutraceutical and food formulations. In dietary supplements and functional foods, the extract is used to deliver standardized bitter melon actives in capsule, tablet, and powder blend formats.

Food and beverage formulators incorporate it as a natural bittering agent and antioxidant stabilizer in health drinks, teas, and fortified products. It provides a consistent profile for large-scale industrial manufacturing and product development.

In agricultural and feed applications, it is evaluated as a natural additive to support oxidative stability in feed formulations. Pharmaceutical and healthcare product developers source it for inclusion in botanical standardized extracts targeting metabolic wellness.

Balsam pear extract is available as a dry powder, typically standardized to specific active marker compounds to meet nutraceutical formulation requirements. This ensures consistency across different production batches and end-user applications.

Supply grades include food-grade and technical-grade, with documentation commonly aligned to FCC or internal specification sheets depending on the intended application. Packaging is generally offered in bulk quantities suitable for industrial formulation.
