Description
Serenoa repens · Fruit Oil Extract
Saw Palmetto Extract Oil 85% Fatty Acids
A liquid saw palmetto fruit extract standardised to 85% fatty acids by GC. This oil grade is handled and quoted separately from the 45% powder product.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Saw Palmetto Extract Oil 85% Fatty Acids for B2B Formulation
Saw palmetto fruit yields an oil that is naturally rich in fatty acids, and the 85% grade concentrates them by extraction rather than by drying. That is the practical difference from the powder specifications: a liquid fills a softgel or an oil phase directly, while a powder has to be blended into a dry matrix.
It suits buyers formulating softgels, oil-based capsules and lipid blends who need a high fatty-acid load without a carrier powder. Because the material is an oil, stability and odour are managed through the pack and the handling chain rather than through a carrier, so both are agreed in writing before the first order.

BUYER DECISION GUIDE
Saw Palmetto Oil Buyer Decision Guide
Choose the 85% fatty-acid oil for softgel or other oil-compatible systems. For capsules, tablets or dry blends that require a free-flowing powder, review the separate saw palmetto powder grade instead. Confirm the analytical method, carrier requirements and oxidation controls before ordering.
For qualification, send the application, target claim-neutral specification, annual volume, destination market and required analytical limits. LongBio will match the quotation and document set to the selected grade.
SPECIFICATION READING
What the 85% Fatty Acid Figure Covers — and What It Does Not
“85% fatty acids” is a summed figure. It states how much of the extract, measured by GC against the approved method, is accounted for by fatty acids as a group. It is not a single marker compound, and two oils both labelled 85% are not necessarily equivalent.
Saw palmetto fruit oil is a mixture whose fatty-acid fraction is typically dominated by lauric, oleic, myristic, palmitic and linoleic acids. The proportions between them are set by the raw material and the process, are reported per batch, and are not implied by the total.
Four things the headline figure does not tell you, and which belong in the written specification rather than in an assumption:
- Individual fatty-acid limits. If your receiving specification sets ranges for specific acids, agree them at quotation so they are tested and reported per lot.
- The unsaponifiable fraction. Sterols and other minor constituents sit outside the fatty-acid total and are specified separately, or not at all.
- Residual solvent and oxidation markers. Relevant for any extracted oil; state the limits your market requires.
- Carrier or dilution. An oil grade may be supplied neat or adjusted; confirm which, because a diluted oil changes the use level your formula has to carry.
Where a figure is not on the certificate, the page does not state one. The shipment-batch COA is the controlling record.
GRADE SELECTION
Choosing Between the Four Saw Palmetto Grades
The four specifications are different physical forms and different concentration bases, not four strengths of one product. Substituting across them means reformulating.
| Grade | Form | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|
| Saw Palmetto Fruit Extract Powder 25% | Powder | Dry blends, tablets and two-piece capsules |
| Saw Palmetto Extract Powder 45% Fatty Acids | Powder | Higher-load dry formats where a free-flowing powder is required |
| Saw Palmetto Berry Extract Powder 4:1 | Powder | Ratio-based botanical labelling and general extract use |
| Saw Palmetto Extract Oil 85% Fatty Acids | Oil | Softgels and oil-phase systems — the grade on this page |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Saw Palmetto Extract Oil Purchasing FAQ
How is Saw Palmetto Extract Oil 85% Fatty Acids quantified?
By the declared method against the specification figure of Fatty acids 85% by GC.
Does the percentage refer to one compound or to a group?
It refers to Fatty acids 85% by GC, calculated by the declared method on the basis stated on the COA. It is a summed figure for the fatty-acid fraction as a group, not a single marker compound.
Does the COA report the individual fatty acid profile?
The certificate reports the total fatty-acid content by GC against the 85% specification. If your receiving specification sets limits on individual fatty acids such as lauric, oleic, myristic, palmitic or linoleic acid, state them at quotation so they are agreed in the written specification and reported per batch.
Why is the 85% oil quoted separately from the 25% and 45% powders?
They are different physical forms, not different strengths of the same product. This grade is a liquid oil extract; the 25% and 45% grades are powders. An oil cannot be substituted into a dry blend without reformulation, and a powder cannot be filled into a softgel, so each specification is quoted on its own.
How does the material behave in your process?
It is supplied as a light-yellow liquid. Colour, odour and viscosity are confirmed per batch, and handling temperature and filling method are agreed against your line.
How recent is the representative batch shown?
The batch referenced is issued per lot; your shipment is released on its own certificate rather than the representative one.
How long can we hold stock before use?
Confirmed on the current specification and product label from the manufacture date when the pack stays sealed and dry.
Can I get a sample before placing the order?
Yes. An evaluation sample is normally available before a formal order. Sample quantity, courier account and destination are confirmed at the time of request.
Which documents come with the shipment?
Batch COA, specification sheet, agreed third-party testing where required, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and transport documents. The exact set is confirmed against the product and destination market.
What packing options are available?
Liquid grades are supplied in a sealed HDPE drum or a smaller sealed container, with pack size agreed in the written specification. Labelling and private-label artwork are likewise agreed in writing before production.

COA Evidence Status
Representative COA LXJY230511 identifies Serenoa repens fruit oil, an 85% fatty-acid specification by GC and an overall conclusion of conformity. Because the source document does not provide a separate numerical result column, the page does not invent an observed assay value; the shipment-batch COA remains controlling.
