Kadsura Coccinea Extract Powder

Kadsura coccinea extract is made from the root of heilaohu, the black tiger vine, and not from the red fruit, stems or leaves. Water extraction concentrates the soluble root fraction, and the liquor is dried into a light brown powder that disperses in water.

The extract is supplied at a 10:1 ratio and milled to 80 mesh, with no marker percentage declared. It is a plain root extract of a single named species, and no powder, marker grade or pure compound of Kadsura coccinea is listed beside it.

Kadsura coccinea Identity & Plant Part

The botanical entity is Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) A.C.Sm., a woody climber of the Schisandraceae from southern China and Southeast Asia. The part used is the root. The showy red, spherical fruit, the stems and the leaves are not included. The plant is a relative of the schisandra vine but belongs to a separate genus, so the two are not interchangeable. The names heilaohu and black tiger are applied to the roots or stems of several Kadsura species. Dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans and lanostane triterpenoids are the characteristic constituent families of Kadsura coccinea, named here without figures.

What 10:1 Means for Kadsura Coccinea

A 10:1 figure on a Kadsura coccinea extract states how concentrated the extract is against the starting root. It says nothing about lignans or triterpenoids, and papers on those compounds cannot be applied to the powder. The Schisandraceae family also contains better-known schisandra products that sell on lignan content, which is a different category from this plain ratio extract. A purchase line that gives the species, the root and the ratio defines the material, and no other form of this species is listed beside it.

Application Areas

Root Extract Capsules

Kadsura coccinea extract goes into two-piece capsules as a light brown powder with a faint woody, slightly sour note. A flow aid in the premix prevents bridging of the fine powder, and an early check of fill weight keeps capsule weights even through the run.

Woody Tea-Style Sachets

In instant mixes the extract gives a hazy, pale brown liquid with a mild woody, faintly tart taste. Ginger, jujube or citrus flavors suit the profile, and a soluble carrier keeps the small dose consistent from sachet to sachet.

Granulated Root Tablets

Tablet blends hold the extract at moderate inclusion with a binder and a disintegrant. The powder takes up moisture, so granulate before compression and keep the press room dry to limit sticking on the punches during longer runs.

Soft Chew Blends

Soft chews pair the extract with fruit and spice flavors, and its light brown tint hides under caramel or apple colors. Add the powder to the cooked base late, and check the texture at the end of shelf life.

Dry Stick Pack Premixes

Sticks combine the extract with a bulking agent and a mild flavor system, giving a repeatable dose. Laminate film that blocks moisture and light protects the powder, and fill in a dry room to limit caking at the seal.

Formulation Notes

Kadsura coccinea extract is a light brown powder with a faint woody, slightly sour aroma and a mildly astringent, faintly bitter taste. Mixed with water, the extract yields a hazy tan liquid, and fine particles settle slowly on standing. The profile is mild enough that it rarely dominates a flavored blend.

A root water extract takes up moisture from the air, so weigh the Kadsura coccinea extract in a dry room and reseal the pack after each draw. Surface clumping is the first sign of uptake. For capsules, mix in a free-flowing carrier first, and for drink blends stir the powder into the dry base before liquid is added.

Lignan- and triterpenoid-bearing roots often come as dense, finely milled powders that settle during transport. Gently turn the drum before weighing Kadsura coccinea extract, to restore an even density, and avoid a vigorous shake that would raise dust.
