Butterfly Pea Flower Water Soluble Extract | Aparajita

Butterfly Pea Liquid Extract concentrates ternatin anthocyanins with kaempferol glycosides from Clitoria ternatea flower. The ternatins are polyacylated delphinidin glycosides, which is why butterfly pea holds its blue across a wider pH range than most anthocyanin sources. Specify colour value and the matrix pH before setting inclusion. Butterfly Pea Flower Water-Soluble Extract — known as Aparajita in Hindi, Sankupushpam in Tamil, and Sankhupushpam (Shankupushpam) in Malayalam (Clitoria ternatea).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Butterfly Pea Flower?
Most buyers use it in natural-colour applications, beverage bases and cosmetic water phases. As with any new water-soluble extract, pilot-test in your specific base before committing to a full production run.

Which carrier should I choose — water, propylene glycol or glycerin?
Water alone suits most aqueous formulations. Propylene glycol improves cold-stability and solvency in preserved systems; glycerin gives a milder, skin-friendlier carrier for leave-on formulations. PG and glycerin variants are offered at 500 g and 1 Kg, with PG also available at 5 Kg.
