When sourcing bulk nuciferine powder, buyers need more than an attractive price. Consistent specifications, reliable analytical documentation, appropriate quality controls, and dependable supply are essential when selecting a botanical ingredient supplier for commercial production.
At FocusHerb, we supply nuciferine powder derived from lotus leaf (Nelumbo nucifera), with multiple content specifications to accommodate different ingredient requirements. Our product information covers key parameters such as nuciferine content, HPLC analysis, physical properties, contaminant specifications, and bulk packaging options.
For buyers evaluating a new supplier, understanding these details is an important first step toward making an informed purchasing decision. This guide explains our available product specifications, the quality information buyers should review, and the key considerations when sourcing nuciferine in bulk.
FocusHerb Nuciferine Powder: Product Specifications
Nuciferine is an alkaloid naturally found in lotus leaf. When purchasing nuciferine powder, buyers should distinguish between different content grades and confirm that the selected specification matches their formulation and quality requirements.
FocusHerb lists the following nuciferine content options:
| Product Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product name | Nuciferine Powder |
| Botanical source | Lotus leaf (Nelumbo nucifera) |
| CAS number | 475-83-2 |
| Molecular formula | C₁₉H₂₁NO₂ |
| Available content grades | 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 98% |
| Analytical method listed | HPLC |
| Appearance | Light brown to yellow fine powder |
| Moisture | ≤5.0% |
| Bulk packaging | 25 kg bags or drums |
| Sample order | Lab samples (10g/50g/100g) available; 1kg small trial order listed on the product page |
| Shelf life | 24 months unopened in original packaging. Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. |
The appropriate grade depends on the intended application, target nuciferine content, and formulation requirements. Buyers need to validate grade availability, assay limits, and analytical basis before placing an order.
For high-purity 98% nuciferine, pay special attention to identity confirmation, assay methodology, and analytical evidence supporting the claimed content. Note that HPLC assay conditions vary between laboratories; we can share our HPLC method details for cross-lab verification upon request.
HPLC Testing and COA Documentation
Analytical documentation is an important part of evaluating botanical ingredients for bulk procurement. It helps buyers compare product specifications, review test results, and establish acceptance criteria before approving a shipment.
FocusHerb adopts HPLC as the analytical method for nuciferine content testing and provides Certificates of Analysis (COAs) plus supporting technical documentation for each batch.
What Should Buyers Review?
- Product identity: Confirm that the product name and content grade match the purchase specification.
- Batch identification: Check that the lot number corresponds to the material being evaluated.
- Assay result: Review the actual nuciferine content and applicable acceptance limits.
- Analytical method: Confirm how content is quantified and whether the reporting basis is clearly stated.
- Physical specifications: Compare moisture and other parameters against agreed requirements.
- Supporting results: Review contaminant testing and other required quality data.
Any HPLC assay value must be reviewed together with the full analytical method, sample identification and batch test results. Buyers requiring extra assurance may request supplementary documentation or independent third-party lab testing before commercial approval.
For procurement teams, reviewing these documents early clarifies product requirements and reduces uncertainty during supplier qualification.
Quality Specifications and Contaminant Control
Nuciferine content is only one aspect of ingredient quality. Sourcing teams should also assess contaminants and physical parameters according to the intended application and target market.
FocusHerb's published product specifications include the following quality parameters:
| Quality Parameter | Listed Specification |
|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | ≤1 ppm |
| Arsenic (As) | ≤1 ppm |
| Cadmium (Cd) | ≤0.3 ppm |
| Mercury (Hg) | ≤0.1 ppm |
| Total plate count | ≤1,000 CFU/g |
| Yeast and mold | ≤100 CFU/g |
| Salmonella and E. coli | Negative |
Note: These values represent specifications published on the product page. Sourcing teams should request the current specification and batch test results to confirm the material meets project requirements. Microbiological limits can be adjusted to match USP / EP or custom market requirements.
Depending on the extraction process and intended use, additional testing may cover pesticide residues, residual solvents, and other parameters required by your quality program.
For shipments to the US, required testing and documentation depend on your finished product category and FDA cGMP & FSMA requirements. A specification sheet or supplier statement alone cannot replace full supporting evidence for product approval.
Raw Material Sourcing and Manufacturing Process
Botanical raw material selection and processing are critical factors when evaluating plant-derived ingredients.
FocusHerb uses lotus leaf (Nelumbo nucifera) as the botanical source for nuciferine powder. Our workflow includes raw material selection, cleaning, crushing, extraction, purification, concentration, drying, and finished-product testing.
These processing stages define how the botanical raw material is converted into fine powder ready for formulation and quality evaluation.
Questions to Ask When Evaluating a Supplier
- How is the botanical source identified and verified?
- What raw material and production records are available for review?
- How are incoming raw materials and finished products tested against specs?
- Can the supplier provide complete batch documentation?
- How are quality deviations and customer complaints managed?
The scope of documentation depends on application, quality agreement and your supplier qualification workflow. Reach out to FocusHerb to confirm which sourcing, manufacturing and quality records are available for your selected grade.
Bulk Nuciferine Supply, Packaging, and Custom Requirements
Commercial buyers evaluate product specs alongside order volume, packaging, lead time and repeat-order stability.
FocusHerb’s product page offers lab samples and 1kg trial orders, with bulk packaging available in 25 kg bags or drums. When requesting a quotation, verify packaging format, MOQ and stock availability for your target grade.
What to Confirm Before Placing an Order
Required Content Grade
Specify the target nuciferine percentage and any additional quality requirements.
Order Quantity
Indicate lab sample quantity or expected bulk volume so availability and pricing can be assessed accurately.
Packaging Requirements
Confirm the packaging format and any specific labeling or handling needs.
Technical Documentation
Identify the COA, safety documentation, and other records required for internal approval.
Delivery Schedule
Confirm the production or dispatch timeline, shipping arrangements, and destination requirements.
For long-term supply, both parties should agree on fixed specifications for repeat orders and a formal notification process for material or specification changes.
Providing these details at quotation stage helps FocusHerb fully understand your project and deliver accurate product and supply information.
How to Select the Right Nuciferine Grade for Your Project
Selecting a suitable nuciferine grade starts with your intended application and target content in finished formulations.
Low-content and high-purity grades serve different formulation purposes. The decision should never rely solely on the percentage printed on a spec sheet.
Before selecting a grade, buyers should evaluate:
- The required nuciferine content and acceptable tolerance range.
- The analytical method and evidence needed to verify that content.
- The physical properties required for formulation or manufacturing.
- Relevant contaminant limits and documentation requirements.
- Volume needed for lab testing, pilot production, and commercial supply.
- Packaging, storage, and delivery requirements.
For example, teams comparing 10% and 20% grades should evaluate cost against verified nuciferine quantity, alongside differences in full product specifications and other quality attributes. A higher content grade is not automatically the best fit for every application.
FocusHerb can walk you through our listed specifications and help identify what documentation you need to assess the best option. Final grade selection depends on your technical requirements and available batch records.
