Description
COA-BACKED BOTANICAL INGREDIENT
Areca catechu Seed Extract
Areca catechu seed extract is supplied as a dried 10:1 preparation of the seed for B2B formulation and further processing. The purchasing definition is the ratio basis and the analytical method stated on the certificate of analysis, together with the delivered colour and particle size. It is a botanical raw material and is not a finished consumer product.

Buyer Decision Guide
Agree the ratio basis and its analytical method, the delivered particle size and the packing format before approval. Buyers working into a regulated category should confirm the permitted-use position for Areca catechu in the destination market independently, as it differs between markets.
- Ratio basis and analytical method stated on the certificate of analysis
- Particle size and packing agreed at quotation
- Samples available for evaluation against the buyer’s own process
- Documentation: COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet
- Permitted-use position in the destination market to be confirmed by the buyer
- Regulatory status, permitted uses and labelling are the buyer’s responsibility
How This Grade Differs
Areca catechu is offered as seed extracts at different ratios and as standardised marker extracts. A 10:1 preparation is not interchangeable with a higher-ratio or marker-standardised grade, because both the concentration and the analytical basis on which the batch is released are different.
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
