Oroxylum Indicum Extract Powder

Oroxylum indicum extract starts from the seed of Oroxylum indicum, the papery, winged seed of the Indian trumpet tree, with the pod wall, bark and leaf excluded. Water extraction concentrates the soluble seed fraction, and the liquor is dried into a light brown powder that disperses in water.

The extract is supplied at a 10:1 ratio with no marker percentage and is milled to 80 mesh. It is a whole-seed ratio extract, not an oroxylin A grade. Bark and fruit preparations of the same tree are different materials.

Oroxylum indicum Seed Source & Identity

The botanical entity is Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz, the Indian trumpet tree of the Bignoniaceae, a tall tree with giant compound leaves, night-opening bell flowers and flat pods about a meter long that hold thin, winged seeds. The part used is the seed. Bark, pod wall and leaf are not part of this Oroxylum indicum extract.

Different parts of the tree carry different flavone profiles, so the part matters on a specification. The seed holds flavones such as baicalein, chrysin and oroxylin A together with their glucuronides, named here only as families, and the bark contains related compounds in other proportions. The Chinese trade name mu hu die refers to the seed.

Oroxylum Seed Extract vs Chrysin

Form	What It Is	Choose It When
10:1 Seed Extract	Water-extracted, concentrated Oroxylum indicum seed	The whole-seed ratio extract is wanted
Chrysin 98%	Purified chrysin, a single flavone found in the seed	A single-compound ingredient is required

The two entries sit at opposite ends of the same chemistry. The ratio extract is the whole-seed profile at a fixed 10:1 concentration, with glucuronide forms of the flavones favored by the water process because aglycones dissolve poorly. The chrysin product is a purified compound. A buyer who specifies a single flavone should choose the compound, and a buyer who wants the whole-seed profile can order the extract, which carries no flavone figure. Oroxylum indicum extract buyers should name the seed on every form, since Oroxylum indicum bark and fruit preparations follow different specifications.

Application Areas

Capsules for Flavone-Bearing Seed

Oroxylum indicum extract is filled into capsules as a light brown powder. The seed fraction holds soluble sugars and flavone glycosides that take up moisture, so a flow aid goes into the premix and fill weights are tracked through each run.

Film-Coated Tablets

Tablets of the extract are bound with microcrystalline cellulose and a disintegrant and covered with a film coat. Flavonoids can yellow on contact with alkaline excipients, so magnesium-based lubricants are used in measured amounts and tablet color is checked after storage.

Tea-Style Instant Powders

In instant tea-style blends the seed extract gives a hazy amber cup with a faint, nutty, slightly bitter note. Honey, osmanthus-style and lemon flavors suit it. A carrier in the dry blend keeps the dose even from sachet to sachet.

Powder Sticks for Cold Drinks

Sticks combine Oroxylum indicum extract with fruit flavors in barrier laminate. The powder disperses to a pale brown haze that clears little on standing, so formulas are designed for cloudy drinks, and the premix is dried to avoid clumping at the seal.

Bars with Dry Inclusions

Bars take the extract in the dry blend before binder syrup is added, so it wets evenly instead of forming specks. Chocolate and nut flavors cover the brown tint, and bar color and hardness are rechecked after storage.

Formulation Notes

Oroxylum indicum extract is a light brown powder with a faint, nutty aroma and a mildly bitter, slightly astringent taste. In water it forms a hazy amber liquid, and fine seed material settles slowly. Flavone content gives a yellow undertone that shows more in clear drinks.

The powder takes up moisture and clumps when left open. Weigh the extract in a dry area, close the liner after each draw and keep it away from heat and light. Flavonoids darken slowly in alkaline conditions, so beverage pH is tested before the formula is fixed.

Dry-blend the extract with a carrier and screen it into the bulk, and fill soon after mixing. Because chrysin and related flavones dissolve poorly in water, they may appear as fine sediment at the bottom of a clear drink, so cloudy or opaque formats work better than transparent bottles.
