Ginkgo Biloba Extract · Standardized Botanical for Supplements, Functional Foods & Premixes

Key characteristics

• Botanical source: Ginkgo biloba leaf.
• Common markers (grade dependent):
  • Flavone glycosides (often referenced as a percentage on dry basis),
  • Terpene lactones (often referenced as a percentage on dry basis).
• Appearance: light brown to yellow-brown powder (shade can vary by processing and carriers).
• Odor/taste: characteristic botanical odor; taste may be slightly bitter/astringent.
• Use formats:
  • Capsules/tablets, sachets and powder blends,
  • Functional foods and premixes (project dependent),
  • Selected beverage concepts where solubility and sensory are managed (grade dependent).
• Quality considerations:
  • Botanical identity verification and marker content standardization,
  • Contaminants control (heavy metals, microbiology, and other region-specific requirements),
  • Control of ginkgo-specific compounds as defined by pharmacopeial or market standards (grade dependent).
• Regulatory & labeling:
  • Typically labeled as “Ginkgo biloba extract” with optional standardization statement where allowed.
  • Permitted use, claims, warnings and maximum levels vary by market and product category (food vs supplement frameworks differ).

Atlas supports customers in selecting the right ginkgo extract grade and documentation package to match their formulation needs and destination markets.

Indicative specification points

Specifications vary by producer and standardization. Typical parameters include:

• Assay / standardization: marker content (e.g., flavone glycosides and terpene lactones) per agreed method.
• Loss on drying / moisture: controlled for stability and flowability.
• Particle size: controlled for dispersion and premix uniformity.
• Carrier system (if used): defined type and level (project dependent).
• Heavy metals: controlled to meet food/supplement standards (market dependent).
• Microbiological criteria: controlled per applicable ingredient requirements.
• Residual solvents / processing aids: controlled and documented as applicable.
• Identity testing: botanical verification as required (grade and market dependent).

Each batch is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and technical data sheet. Additional documents (GMO status, allergen statements, dietary suitability, origin, Halal/Kosher certificates where applicable) can be provided depending on grade and producer.

Dietary supplements

• Capsules & tablets: standardized botanical active for cognitive/wellness positioning (claims subject to local rules).
• Powder supplements: used in multi-ingredient blends (focus/brain, vitality, wellness powders).
• Premix manufacturing: simplifies production through standardized, blend-ready ginkgo premixes.

Functional premixes

• Custom “focus” or “wellness” premixes with vitamins (B-complex), minerals, amino acids and botanicals (project dependent).
• Stick packs and sachets: standardized potency supports accurate dosing per serving.

Functional foods & beverages (selected)

• Fortified foods: inclusion depends on local regulatory status and sensory compatibility.
• Functional beverages: feasible with suitable grades and taste-masking strategies (project dependent).

Formulation guidance

• Standardization: select marker content and analytical method aligned to your label and regulatory needs.
• Sensory: bitterness and herbal notes may require masking in powders and beverages.
• Stability: evaluate stability under heat, humidity, light and oxygen; packaging and antioxidants may be relevant.
• Compatibility: test interactions with minerals, proteins and acids in complex matrices.
• Compliance: confirm permitted use, maximum levels, required warnings and claim language in each destination market.
• Quality: ensure contaminants and identity testing match your internal specifications and customer audit expectations.

Quality & documentation

• Supplied as standardized ginkgo biloba extract per agreed marker content and method.
• Each batch delivered with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and technical data sheet.
• Documentation can include GMO status, allergen declarations, dietary suitability, origin, contaminants (heavy metals) statements and microbiological data (grade/market dependent).
• Halal/Kosher certificates may be available for selected grades and producers (project dependent).
• Customers remain responsible for finished-product compliance, permitted uses, warnings and labeling in destination markets.

Packaging, storage & logistics

• Packaging options: fiber drums or cartons with inner liners; other formats available by grade/producer.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from heat, light and moisture. Reseal opened packs promptly to prevent clumping and potency loss.
• Protect from oxygen exposure where possible; use FIFO inventory management.
• Shipments can be arranged under FOB, CFR, CIF or other agreed Incoterms, with export/customs and quality documentation coordinated from Ankara.
