Description

Our natural dandelion root CO2 select extract for drinks captures the fat-soluble part of the plant Taraxacum officinale in liquid form. Supercritical carbon dioxide acts as the solvent agent instead of a liquid chemical solvent during extraction. The part used covers the underground organs, without the above-ground leaf rosette taking part in the extraction. The inulin reserve in the underground mass increases strongly towards autumn compared with the spring months, which changes the share of carbohydrates in the raw material before extraction. Natural cultivation proceeds without synthetic protective agents, so the root tissue enters the extraction with an authentic range of lipids and sterols. The light brown base with a greenish tint is due to the pigments in the root bark and to the resinous substances beneath it. No residual solvents remain in the finished liquid. The odour strength stays between weak and medium intensity. The fresh ethereal tone with a natural nuance shapes the olfactory picture of the liquid. The plantings grow in Bulgarian lowland regions. The liquid consistency remains unchanged during prolonged storage in a closed and dark container. The composition includes only the root concentrate, with no added preservatives and no colourants. The Asteraceae family unites species in which the small flowers are gathered in a common inflorescence. The working gas leaves the system completely after extraction, which is why the odour profile of the liquid carries no foreign notes of a chemical solvent. In addition, water and auxiliary carriers remain outside the final liquid fraction. The natural fresh nuance of the root liquid is noticeable even at the end of the storage period.

Application

Natural dandelion root CO2 select extract is suitable for inclusion in a variety of drinks where a mild natural bitterness, a herbal taste and a functional character are sought. It can be added to iced teas, detox drinks, tonics and herbal non-alcoholic drinks, in compliance with applicable legislation. It serves as a natural flavouring component in lemonades and refreshing non-alcoholic drinks with a floral-green profile. It is also suitable for functional juices and healthy smoothies, where the mild liver-supporting action of dandelion contributes to the overall functional profile of the product. In the production of concentrates and ready-to-drink beverages, it acts as a stable natural component with added value.

Storage

Store natural dandelion root CO2 select extract in a dark, cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Storage at +5°C to +20°C protects against oxidation and changes in quality. Limit the exposure of the opened packaging to air, and transfer the remaining quantity to a smaller clean and dry container. The extract for drinks is stored in an aluminium bottle or in a dark glass bottle. Do not leave the container open, as air and moisture impair the parameters. Observing the conditions extends the period during which quality and safety remain unchanged.

Attention !!!

Please use dandelion extract according to the described instructions and follow the safety recommendations. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes, and in case of contact rinse thoroughly with water. Stop using dandelion extract if an allergy such as redness or irritation appears. We recommend carrying out an allergy test before use.
