Buyer Decision Guide
Agree the plant part, the ratio basis and the analytical method before approval. Where the buyer’s finished-product specification controls a marker or a colour range, request both on the specification sheet so the delivered batch can be checked against the right criteria.
- Plant part stated: whole herb
- Ratio basis and analytical method stated on the certificate of analysis
- Delivered colour agreed against a retained sample where relevant
- 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
Portulaca oleracea is offered as whole-herb preparations and as standardised extracts. A whole-herb 10:1 grade is released on a ratio basis, not on a marker content, so it should not be substituted with a marker-standardised material without confirming the specification.
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
