Mahuya Flower Water Soluble Extract | Mahua, Ippa

Mahua Flower Liquid Extract yields madhucosides with flower sugars and quercetin glycosides from Madhuca indica flower. The flower is unusually high in fermentable sugars, which is why it is the traditional distillation feedstock — that sugar load carries into a liquid extract and affects preservation. Confirm the residual sugar figure and the preservative system. Mahuya Flower Water-Soluble Extract — known as Mahua in Hindi, Iluppai in Tamil, Ippa in Telugu, Ilippa in Malayalam, Moh in Marathi, and Mohua in Bengali (Madhuca indica).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Mahuya Flower?
Most buyers use it in traditional preparations and beverage bases. 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.
