Pumpkin Fruit Water Soluble Extract | Kaddu, Gummadikaya

Pumpkin Liquid Extract provides fruit polysaccharides with phenolic acids and cucurbitacins from Cucurbita pepo. Carotenoids give pumpkin its colour but are hydrocarbons with no site for glycosylation and are effectively absent from a water-derived extract. Do not specify carotenoids against this material. Pumpkin Fruit Water-Soluble Extract — known as Kaddu in Hindi, Gummadikaya in Telugu, Mathanga in Malayalam, and Bhopla in Marathi (Cucurbita pepo).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Pumpkin Fruit?
Most buyers use it in cosmetic water phases, beverage bases and nutrition premixes. 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.
