What is Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract?
Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract is a highly valued botanical ingredient derived from the dried roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, a perennial herb belonging to the Lamiaceae (mint) family. Historically revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as "Huang Qin," this root has been utilized for centuries for its potent therapeutic properties. In modern applications, it is extensively utilized as a functional cosmetic raw material, a vital dietary supplement ingredient, and a foundational botanical for pharmaceutical and health care products.
Botanical Source, Origin, and Manufacturing Process
The quality of Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract begins at the source. We source premium Scutellaria baicalensis roots from optimal geographical regions where soil and climate conditions maximize the concentration of active phytochemicals.
Our manufacturing process utilizes advanced, standardized extraction and purification technologies. Depending on the target active profile, the roots undergo controlled aqueous or ethanol extraction. The extract is then concentrated and purified using macroporous resin technology to remove impurities, followed by precise drying (such as spray drying or vacuum drying) to yield a uniform, light-colored powder. This rigorous, closed-loop manufacturing process guarantees batch-to-batch consistency, high purity, and optimal retention of bioactive compounds.
Active Ingredients and Phytochemical Profile
The primary functional components of Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract are flavonoids. The extract is standardized for its active markers, which typically include Baicalin, Baicalein, Wogonoside, and Wogonin. These potent phytochemicals are responsible for the extract's extensive biological activities. We offer customizable assay specifications to meet diverse formulation requirements, ensuring you receive the exact potency needed for your end product.
