Angelica Pubescens Root Extract Powder

Angelica pubescens root extract powder comes from the root of pubescent angelica, the carrot-family herb sold in Chinese trade as du huo. 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 and a milled root powder of the same plant are separate products from this extract.

Angelica pubescens Identity & Plant Part

The botanical entity is Angelica pubescens Maxim., family Apiaceae. The part used in this Angelica pubescens root extract is the root; leaves, stems and seeds are not part of the product. In Chinese trade the root is du huo, a name that is also used for other roots with similar traditional uses.

Du huo is not qiang huo, which is the rhizome and root of Notopterygium, and it is not bai zhi, dang gui or zi hua qian hu, which come from other Angelica species. Each has its own listing. The roots of this genus carry coumarins, and a buyer comparing Angelica offers should match the binomial first. Angelica pubescens extract should be described by the binomial and the root, because the trade name du huo is not specific to one species.

Angelica pubescens Extract vs Coumarin Grade

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

In the 10:1 figure, ten parts of starting root stand behind one part of powder. The figure does not state any coumarin content, so a buyer who needs a coumarin number on the label must move to the standardized sibling. The milled powder differs in the other direction, because it keeps the entire root tissue and its fiber.

Choose the ratio extract for Angelica pubescens identity and a whole-root water extract. The root is the same in all three products, and only the definition of the Angelica pubescens powder changes.

Application Areas

Beige Capsule Fills

Ordinary capsule shells cover the Angelica pubescens fill well. Aromatic root extracts can cake when they absorb moisture, so test flow on the lot before filling and weigh capsules at intervals during the run to catch drift.

Warming-Style Instant Sticks

Powder sticks can carry the mild, slightly pungent root note with ginger, cinnamon or jujube flavors. Taste a plain-water sample first, because water extraction removes much of the aroma and the finished stick may taste flatter than expected.

Root-Blend Sachets

Sachets can pair the extract with achyranthes, eucommia or other root extracts in a blend. Screen each powder and match particle sizes so the brown tint is even across the sachets, then compare the first and last sachets of each run.

Tablets for Pubescent Angelica

A dry-binder system with a disintegrant suits compression of this powder. Root extracts soften when they pick up moisture before compression, so keep humidity low and test hardness and disintegration on the finished tablet. Compress at moderate force, because over-compression slows the break-up of root powders.

Gummies with Root Notes

In gummies the extract gives a pale brown tint and a faint root aroma that suits ginger and honey flavors. Add the powder after the mass has cooled slightly, and test gel set and taste on a finished gummy.

Formulation Notes

The extract is a light brown powder with a faint aromatic smell and a slightly bitter, mildly pungent taste. Water with the powder stirred in turns to a pale brown liquid with mild cloudiness. Allow a test dispersion to stand before judging clarity. Keep the container tightly closed between uses, because the powder takes up moisture and clumps. Mix it with part of the filler and sieve the premix before the main blend. Coumarin-bearing materials are sensitive to light, so store an opened lot away from direct light and compare its shade with a retained sample.
