Description
STANDARDISED BOTANICAL ACTIVE
Matricaria chamomilla Flower — 99% Apigenin
At 99% apigenin this is a purified flavonoid rather than a chamomile extract. The distinction matters commercially: chamomile extracts are sold on ratio or on total flavonoids, while this grade is sold as a single molecule for formulation work.

Buyer Decision Guide
Confirm whether you are buying a chamomile extract or purified apigenin. The names overlap but the price basis, the solubility and the permitted use are different.
- Assay: apigenin 99.0% by HPLC, with apigenin-7-glucoside declared as a related substance.
- Grade note: this is isolated apigenin, not a 5:1 flower extract. Say which one you need at enquiry.
- Solubility: poorly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and DMSO. Plan the vehicle before scaling up.
- Colour: light yellow powder. Darker material suggests residual plant pigment.
- Residual solvents: declared per lot against destination-market limits.
- Documentation: COA, specification sheet and SDS with each batch.
How This Grade Differs
The site already lists a 5:1 chamomile flower extract. That product and this one are not interchangeable: one is a ratio extract, the other is a purified flavonoid at 99%.
Quality and Documentation
Released on a batch certificate covering assay, related substances, residual solvents, heavy metals and microbiology.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Which safety parameters are tested every lot?
Moisture per specification, ash per specification, heavy metals and microbiology against the approved specification.
What is the declared source material for this grade?
Matricaria chamomilla L., as recorded on the specification and the batch certificate.
Does the percentage refer to one compound or to a group?
It refers to Apigenin 99.0%, calculated by HPLC on the basis stated on the COA.
What purity window can you hold batch to batch?
Apigenin 99.0%, verified by HPLC on every lot.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The regular MOQ is typically 1 kg. An evaluation sample of 10-20 g can usually be arranged before a formal order, subject to stock.
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.
