Carrot Water Soluble Extract | Gajar, Gajjaragadda

Carrot Liquid Extract delivers chlorogenic acid with quercetin and luteolin glycosides and root polysaccharides from Daucus carota root. β-Carotene is a pure hydrocarbon with no site for glycosylation and is effectively absent from an extract prepared using water, so colour is not a guide to what this material contains. Do not specify carotenoids against a water-derived carrot extract. Carrot Water-Soluble Extract — known as Gajar in Hindi, Karat (loanword; also descriptive 'Manjal Mullangi') in Tamil, Gajjaragadda in Telugu, Karattu in Malayalam, Gajar in Marathi, and Gajar in Bengali (Daucus carota).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Carrot?
Most buyers use it in cosmetic water phases, beverage bases and liquid nutraceuticals. 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.
