Description
STANDARDISED BOTANICAL INGREDIENT
Yucca schidigera Extract, Saponins 30%
Yucca extract is supplied standardised to a declared saponin content of 30.0% by UV-VIS, rather than as a fixed-ratio preparation. The purchasing definition is therefore the saponin assay and the method used to release it, together with the delivered form and solubility. It is a botanical raw material for further processing and is not a finished consumer product.

Buyer Decision Guide
Agree the saponin assay, the analytical method and the acceptance range before approval. Because the assay is released by UV-VIS rather than HPLC, confirm that the method matches the one used in the buyer’s own specification; a different method on the same material can give a different figure.
- Saponin assay and analytical method stated on the certificate of analysis
- Acceptance range for the assay agreed at quotation
- Solubility and delivered form confirmed against the buyer’s carrier
- Particle size and packing agreed at quotation
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment
- Regulatory status, permitted uses and labelling are the buyer’s responsibility for the destination market
How This Grade Differs
Yucca is offered as fixed-ratio preparations and as saponin-standardised extracts. The two are released on different analytical bases, so a 30% saponin grade should not be substituted with a 10:1 grade on the basis of price alone. Confirm the method as well as the figure when comparing quotations.
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
