Trachelospermum Jasminoides Extract Powder

Trachelospermum jasminoides extract is made from the stem of the climbing vine known as star jasmine, and not from its flowers, leaves or seeds. Water extraction concentrates the soluble stem fraction. The liquor is then dried to a light brown powder.

The concentration ratio is 10:1, with an 80 mesh grind and water-dispersible behavior. This Trachelospermum extract carries no lignan percentage, and the purified lignans named in the same family of ingredients are separate products with their own specifications, their own purity figures and their own test methods.

Trachelospermum Jasminoides Stem Source & Identity

The botanical entity is Trachelospermum jasminoides (Lindl.) Lem., an evergreen climber of the Apocynaceae family, called star jasmine or confederate jasmine and luo shi teng in Chinese materia medica. The part used is the stem. Flowers, leaves and seeds are not included in this Trachelospermum jasminoides extract, and the plant is not a true jasmine, which belongs to the genus Jasminum in a different family. Sources disagree about which organ is traded, with some listing the leafy stem and others the seed, so the stem named in the specification is the point of reference. The stem is known for dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans such as tracheloside and trachelogenin, together with flavonoids and triterpenes.

Written specifications for Trachelospermum jasminoides should name the genus, the species and the stem together, so that a buyer comparing quotes can see that the organ matches. Records for Trachelospermum jasminoides stem extract should name the lot and the part, and a retained sample of the Trachelospermum jasminoides powder makes later comparisons simple.

Trachelospermum Extract vs Pure Lignans

Form	What It Is	Choose It When
10:1 Trachelospermum Stem Extract	Water-extracted, concentrated and dried stem	A whole-stem extract without a marker is needed
Trachelogenin 98%	Purified lignan aglycone of the plant	A defined compound at a stated purity is required
Tracheloside 98%	Purified lignan glycoside of the plant	The specification names the glycoside form

The 10:1 ratio shows how much stem enters the extract and is not a lignan assay. Tracheloside and trachelogenin are linked chemically, since the first carries a sugar that the second lacks, and each is sold as its own purified product. The plain extract is the row for a formula that names the plant and needs a dispersible solid, and a purified lignan is the row only where the label names the molecule.

In a drink or a capsule, the Trachelospermum jasminoides extract acts as a botanical identity ingredient, and that identity is the main reason to choose it over a bare lignan. A Trachelospermum extract of this kind also avoids the single-compound cost of a purified lignan when the label only needs the plant named.

Application Areas

Coated Trachelospermum Tablets

Closed shells and coatings suit this stem extract, because the astringent taste of its solids is best kept away from the palate. The dry powder is hygroscopic, so tablet compacts should be tested for hardness after they rest.

Light-Brown Herbal Tea Sticks

Powder sticks carry the extract with a sweetener and a floral or citrus flavor in a dry carrier. The cup is tan and slightly hazy, and a weight-based dose keeps the dispersed solids uniform across a production run.

Roasted-Grain Drink Mixes

Instant drink powders take the Trachelospermum extract dry in barley, malt or cocoa bases, where a brown tint and a mild astringency are expected. Clear, pale drinks show both too clearly to be a good match. A short steep keeps the stem tannins from turning the cup harsh.

Fruit-and-Nut Bars

Date, fig and nut bases cover the taste of the extract in bar premixes. The fine powder spreads through the matrix more evenly than milled stem, so no bite has a woody fleck or a bitter spot. Cold-pressed bars keep the stem solids from darkening in an oven.

Formulation Notes

The Trachelospermum extract is a light brown powder with a faint woody odor and a mildly astringent, slightly bitter taste. In water it gives a tan, lightly hazy liquid, since polysaccharide fragments and tannin complexes stay partly suspended while lignan glycosides and sugars dissolve. Moisture from the air is taken up by the dried extract, and an uncovered container sets into hard lumps within days.

Sieve the powder before weighing, then blend it into part of the carrier so that no specks form in a pale mix. Check disintegration of tablets after storage. The dried extract of a latex-bearing vine should also be tested for flow on the same filling equipment that will run production. Once a drum has been broached, tie off the liner tightly and keep the drum on a dry pallet.
