Angelica Dahurica Root Extract Powder

Angelica dahurica root extract powder comes from the root of Dahurian angelica, the carrot-family herb sold in Chinese trade as bai zhi. The root is extracted with water, concentrated and dried to a light brown powder, and coumarins are the characteristic constituent family of the root.

The product is a 10:1 ratio extract with no coumarin percentage attached. It is water dispersible and milled to 80 mesh. A coumarin-standardized extract, a milled root powder and isolated imperatorin are separate products from the same plant.

Angelica dahurica Identity & Plant Part

The botanical entity is Angelica dahurica (Hoffm.) Benth. & Hook.f. ex Franch. & Sav., family Apiaceae. The part used in this Angelica dahurica root extract is the root; leaves, stems and seeds are not part of the product. In Chinese trade the root is bai zhi.

Several Angelica roots circulate under similar names. Bai zhi is not dang gui, the root of Angelica sinensis, not du huo, the root of Angelica pubescens, and not zi hua qian hu, the root of Angelica decursiva. Each of those has its own page. Furanocoumarins such as imperatorin are characteristic of bai zhi, and furanocoumarins are also known as photosensitizing compounds.

Angelica dahurica Extract vs Coumarin Grade

Form	What It Is	Choose It When
10:1 Root Extract	Water-extracted, concentrated and dried A. dahurica root	A whole-root extract without a coumarin claim is wanted
Angelica Dahurica Extract 5–30% Total Coumarins	Standardized extract with a defined total-coumarin range	The specification names a coumarin figure
Angelica Dahurica Root Powder	Milled dried root with no extraction step	A fiber-containing root powder at higher inclusion is wanted
Imperatorin 98%	Isolated imperatorin at 98% purity	A single furanocoumarin rather than a root extract is wanted

The 10:1 figure tells a buyer how much starting root went into one part of powder and is independent of any coumarin content. Many coumarins dissolve better in organic solvents than in water, so a water ratio extract should not be assumed to carry the coumarin pattern of the standardized extract or of the isolated imperatorin.

Pick the ratio extract for Angelica dahurica identity and a whole-root water extract. The milled powder suits whole-root bulk, the standardized extract suits a declared coumarin figure, and the isolate suits a single-compound basis. The root is the same across all four, and only the definition of the material changes.

Application Areas

Pale Capsule Fills

Standard shells cover the light brown Angelica dahurica powder easily. Root extracts that carry aromatic coumarins can cake with moisture, so test flow on the lot before filling and weigh capsules at intervals through the run to catch drift.

Aromatic Instant Sticks

Powder sticks can offer a mild, slightly pungent, root-like drink that suits ginger, jujube or honey flavors. Taste a plain-water sample first, since the aroma of the root is much reduced after water extraction and concentration.

Root-Blend Tea Sachets

Sachets can combine the extract with licorice, ligusticum or chrysanthemum-type extracts in a traditional-style blend. Screen each powder and match particle sizes so the light brown tint stays even, and compare sachets from the start and end of a run.

Tablets with Aromatic Root Extracts

Binder and disintegrant selection decides the hardness and break-up time of the tablet. Root extracts soften when they pick up moisture before compression, so control humidity and test hardness and disintegration on finished tablets. A coating protects the tablet from light and from moisture uptake after packing.

Gummies with Mild Root Tint

In gummies the extract gives a pale brown tint and a faint aromatic note that suits citrus and honey flavors. Add it once the cooked mass has cooled slightly, and test gel set, because root polysaccharides can alter firmness.

Formulation Notes

The extract is a light brown powder with a mild aromatic, slightly pungent smell and a faintly bitter taste. Water with the powder stirred in turns to a light brown liquid that is not fully clear. Because aromatic oil is largely lost in concentration, the powder smells far weaker than the cut root. Moisture is the main handling issue for this root extract. Keep the container tightly closed between uses and weigh the powder quickly. For dry blends, mix it first with part of the filler and sieve the premix. Light also affects furanocoumarin-bearing materials, so store an opened lot away from direct light and compare its shade with a retained sample. Angelica dahurica extract differs from raw Angelica dahurica root in aroma, because the volatile fraction is largely lost in concentration.
