HA11035 Irish Moss Extract Powder

Irish Moss Extract Powder Description

Irish Moss Extract Powder is derived from red algae (Chondrus crispus) and processed to retain its natural polysaccharide content. The powder form facilitates uniform integration into various formulations while maintaining its inherent gelling properties. The product's controlled moisture content enhances its ability to stabilise emulsions and improve texture in cosmetic and nutraceutical products. Its well-defined particle size aids in predictable blending performance.

Irish Moss Extract Powder Applications

1.       Cosmetic Formulations
   - Used as a viscosity enhancer in creams to achieve improved texture by leveraging its inherent gelling polysaccharides. This application addresses formulation stability issues and promotes consistent product performance.

2.       Nutraceutical Applications
   - Applied as a natural hydrating agent in beverage formulations to boost moisture retention by utilising its polysaccharide properties. This approach resolves challenges related to ingredient dissolution and enhances consumer palatability.

Irish Moss Extract Powder Packing

The Irish Moss Extract Powder is packaged in sealed, opaque, moisture-proof containers to prevent contamination and degradation. Protective barrier films and anti-static measures are incorporated to reduce exposure to environmental factors. Temperature-controlled storage is recommended to maintain product integrity, and customisable packaging options, including resealable pouches and specific labelling, are available to meet handling requirements.

Additional Information

Botanical extracts such as Irish Moss Extract Powder are studied extensively for their functional polysaccharide profiles and natural hydrocolloid behaviour. These extracts are instrumental in formulating products that require natural viscosity modification and moisture retention. Advanced analytical techniques like FTIR and HPLC are often used in quality assessments to ensure consistent compositional profiles.

Understanding the fundamental properties of such herbal extracts contributes to advancements in formulation science. Their ability to stabilise emulsions and enhance texture provides practical benefits across consumer products in both cosmetic and nutraceutical industries. The ongoing exploration of extraction kinetics and particle size distribution continues to refine their use in diverse applications.
