Campsis Grandiflora Extract Powder

The whole plant of Campsis grandiflora, the Chinese trumpet creeper known as ling xiao, supplies this campsis extract, with the whole plant as the recorded part. Water extraction concentrates the soluble plant fraction, and the liquor is dried into a light brown powder that disperses in water.

Supplied as a 10:1 ratio extract with no marker percentage, it is milled to 80 mesh. No standardized extract, powder or isolated compound of this species is listed alongside it, so this ratio extract is the single Campsis grandiflora ingredient, with no declared phenolic or triterpenoid figure.

Campsis grandiflora Identity & Plant Part

The botanical entity is Campsis grandiflora (Thunb.) K.Schum., a woody vine of the Bignoniaceae family that climbs by aerial roots and carries large orange-red trumpet flowers. It is native to China and is also grown as an ornamental. The part is recorded as the whole plant. Individual organs are not named separately, so no part-specific claim is made here.

Two nearby plants cause confusion. American trumpet creeper is Campsis radicans, a related species from North America, and the hybrid Campsis × tagliabuana is a garden plant. In Chinese materia medica, ling xiao hua refers to the flower specifically, which is a narrower material than the whole-plant extract described here.

Campsis is characterized by phenylethanoid glycosides, flavonoids and triterpenoids, so this extract is described by those families, without numbers.

What 10:1 Means for Campsis

The 10:1 value expresses how far Campsis grandiflora plant material was concentrated. It is not a content figure for phenylethanoid glycosides, flavonoids or triterpenoids, and no such figure is attached to this product. That figure expresses concentration alone, to be read with the whole-plant part and the water medium.

The glycosides of Campsis grandiflora dissolve readily in hot water, whereas triterpenoid acids dissolve poorly, so a water extract favors the polar side of the plant’s chemistry. The dried powder therefore resembles other glycoside-rich plant extracts in handling, and it is judged by identity and physical behavior.

Dried flowers of Campsis grandiflora are also sold for infusions, but that is a different, narrower material than this whole-plant extract.

Application Areas

Herbal Infusion Instant Mixes

Campsis grandiflora extract suits herbal infusion mixes where a mild, slightly floral-woody note is wanted. It disperses to a hazy tan cup, and a bit of sweetener plus citrus or osmanthus-style flavors softens its gentle bitterness.

Two-Piece Capsule Lots

Capsule filling of Campsis grandiflora extract starts with a flow aid in the blend. Because the light brown powder disperses and does not dissolve, run a disintegration test on the finished capsule and check fill weight early.

Film-Coated Tablet Cores

A Campsis grandiflora extract tablet combines microcrystalline cellulose with a disintegrant. A film coat hides the light brown core, and desiccated packs protect the glycoside-bearing powder from humidity during storage. A coating also limits moisture uptake, which keeps the tablet from softening or darkening in storage and keeps the surface clean for printing.

Dry Sachet Blends

Sachets pair the extract with a dispersible carrier. Particle size is matched across the sachet blend so the fine tan powder stays evenly spread, and dry air at filling avoids lumps at the seal. Single-dose film keeps humidity from reaching the powder before use.

Formulation Notes

The powder is light brown with a faint woody-floral aroma and a mildly bitter, slightly astringent taste. In water it disperses to a hazy tan liquid, with fine material settling slowly on standing.

Glycosides in the plant are sensitive to strong alkali and long heating, so keep beverages near neutral or slightly acidic and add the extract late in warm steps. Campsis extract feeds evenly when it is premixed with a flow carrier first. Reseal the liner at every draw, because a damp plant extract cakes and the surface turns darker. As with any lesser-known botanical, the first lot of Campsis grandiflora extract becomes the in-house reference for color, taste and flow, so pilot trials come before scale-up.
