Natural Pandan Leaf Extract Powder
Overview
Natural Pandan Leaf Extract Powder is derived from the blade-like leaves of Pandanus amaryllifolius, a tropical plant widely cultivated across Southeast Asia. Often referred to as the "Vanilla of the East," Pandan has been a cornerstone of Thai, Malay, and Indonesian cultures for centuries. Historically, it was not only used to impart a sweet, nutty aroma to rice and desserts but was also woven into traditional medicine as a treatment for internal heat, skin sensitivities, and even as a natural pest repellent.
In the modern food and wellness industry, Pandan Extract Powder is a "clean-label" powerhouse. Its signature aroma is driven by the compound 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP), the same molecule that gives basmati and jasmine rice their enticing scent. Beyond its sensory appeal, the extract is a rich source of Alkaloids, Glycosides, and Isoflavones. It is increasingly used in "low-glycemic" formulations and "anti-stress" functional beverages due to its traditional reputation as a cardiotonic and its ability to help the body manage cortisol levels.
Highlights
- Standardized Aromatic Profile: Carefully processed to preserve the volatile 2AP compounds, ensuring a consistent, authentic "nutty-sweet" profile without synthetic vanillin or artificial flavors.
- Natural Chlorophyll Source: Provides a vibrant, stable green hue that acts as a plant-based alternative to synthetic food dyes (like Green #3 or Yellow #5).
- Hyperuricemia Support: Traditionally and clinically studied for its potential to help lower uric acid levels, making it a functional choice for joint health and metabolic balance.
- Non-Stimulant Relaxation: Contains natural phytochemicals that provide a mild calming effect on the central nervous system, often used in Southeast Asian "wellness teas" to reduce restlessness.
