Vine Tea Extract Powder

Name: Vine Tea Extract Powder | DHM Standardized Extract
SKU: BOT-BEX-0128

Vine Tea Extract Powder is a flavonoid-rich botanical ingredient produced from the young stems and leaves of vine tea, commercially identified as Ampelopsis grossedentata. The currently accepted botanical name is Nekemias grossedentata, a species in the Vitaceae family. The extract provides a concentrated botanical source of dihydromyricetin and related vine-tea flavonoids for supplement and formulation development.

Commercial vine tea extracts are differentiated primarily by extract concentration and dihydromyricetin standardization. DHM-standardized materials use HPLC to quantify the characteristic marker, while ratio extracts represent a broader botanical composition. Grade selection should therefore consider marker concentration, accompanying plant solids and the physical behavior required by the finished formulation.

Ingredient Profile & Common Uses

Vine tea is derived from the young stems and leaves of Nekemias grossedentata (syn. Ampelopsis grossedentata). These plant materials contain a distinctive flavonoid profile in which dihydromyricetin is particularly prominent. The extract differs from simple vine tea leaf powder because extraction concentrates soluble botanical constituents and creates a more defined ingredient for commercial formulation.

Two specification systems are commonly associated with this ingredient category. Ratio extracts describe botanical concentration, while standardized extracts control the level of DHM as a defined analytical marker. Higher-assay materials contain proportionally less of the surrounding botanical matrix, which can affect color, taste, dispersibility and finished-product behavior.

The ingredient is used in dietary supplements, botanical blends, functional powders and selected beverage-development projects. High-DHM materials have limited intrinsic water solubility, making dry dosage forms comparatively straightforward. Liquid applications require closer evaluation of wetting, dispersion, sedimentation, pH and precipitation, particularly when a conventional extract is used instead of a purpose-designed water-dispersible format.

Application Areas

Dietary Supplements

DHM-standardized vine tea extract is used in capsules, tablets and concentrated supplement formats where formulators require a defined botanical marker and controlled ingredient input.

Botanical Powder Blends

Ratio and standardized extracts can be incorporated into multi-ingredient botanical powders where vine tea contributes a differentiated flavonoid profile and recognizable botanical identity.

Sachets and Drink Powders

Powdered beverage systems can incorporate vine tea extract where reconstitution, taste and visible dispersion are evaluated during development. Ingredient grade has a direct influence on aqueous performance.

Functional Food Formulations

Broader-spectrum vine tea extracts can be evaluated in selected functional-food concepts where botanical identity and polyphenol composition are more important than maximum DHM concentration.

Dihydromyricetin & Flavonoid Profile

Dihydromyricetin is the principal commercial marker associated with vine tea and one of the constituents that distinguishes Ampelopsis grossedentata from many other flavonoid-containing botanical extracts. It belongs to the flavanonol subgroup of flavonoids and is also referred to as DHM, DMY or ampelopsin. Other reported constituents include myricetin, quercetin, taxifolin and related polyphenolic compounds.

A DHM-standardized extract and a botanical ratio extract describe different specification systems. Extract ratio expresses the relationship between starting botanical material and finished extract, whereas DHM assay quantifies the concentration of one defined marker compound. These values should therefore not be treated as interchangeable measures of ingredient strength.

DHM Reference Identity

Reference Property	Dihydromyricetin
Compound Name	Dihydromyricetin
Abbreviation	DHM / DMY
Synonym	Ampelopsin
CAS Number	27200-12-0
Molecular Formula	C15H12O8
Molecular Weight	320.25 g/mol
Chemical Class	Flavanonol
Quantitative Method	HPLC

These properties describe dihydromyricetin as an individual compound rather than the complete multi-component vine tea extract.

Technical & Quality Considerations

Quality evaluation should distinguish botanical authentication from marker determination. Botanical identity establishes the source material, while chromatographic testing measures DHM in standardized grades and helps assess the accompanying flavonoid profile. This separation is important because marker concentration alone does not fully describe botanical identity or overall extract composition.

Physical behavior varies with composition. High-DHM material has limited intrinsic water solubility and may show incomplete dissolution, visible particles or precipitation in aqueous systems. Broader botanical extracts can also differ in color, taste and dispersion because they retain more of the native plant matrix. Water-dispersible formats should therefore be treated as formulation-specific ingredient systems rather than as direct equivalents of conventional high-assay powder.

For capsules, tablets and dry powders, R&D should evaluate premixing, blend uniformity, powder flow and compression behavior at the intended inclusion level. Beverage and liquid development requires additional testing for wetting, haze, sedimentation, precipitation, pH response and temperature exposure. Formulation trials should use the actual commercial grade intended for production because different extract compositions may behave differently during processing.
