Elderflower Powder — From Traditional Remedy to Modern Formulation
Application / Formulation Example: Elderflower (Sambucus nigra flowers) powder fits immune-support teas, syrups, lozenges and seasonal wellness blends — often combined with elderberry, echinacea and vitamin C. Specify flower-only material for the classic flavour profile and flavonoid content.
Formulation tips:
- Tea/syrup: fine powder disperses well; request sieve spec
- Tablets/capsules: standard powder with low moisture
- Flavour: floral, slightly sweet; blends well with honey and citrus notes
COA markers: botanical source (Sambucus nigra), part used (flowers), loss on drying, heavy metals, microbiological limits.
Market context: seasonal wellness and immune-support positioning keeps elderflower relevant; documented origin and batch COAs differentiate suppliers.
