Botanical Name: Lagerstroemia Speciosa
Country of Origin: India
Also Known As: Banaba Leaf Extract Powder 1%, Lagerstroemia speciosa Leaf Extract Powder, Banaba Extract (1% Dry Form)
Part Used: Extracted solids derived from the dried leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa
Description: Banaba Leaves Powder Extract is produced from concentrated solids obtained from the dried leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa, a deciduous tree native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated across tropical climates. The tree is recognized for its broad green leaves and ornamental purple-pink blossoms, contributing to its widespread cultivation in both botanical and landscaped settings. The extract appears as a fine, free-flowing powder ranging from light to medium brown, with a smooth, consistent texture suited to applications that require uniform botanical material.
The production method uses fully dried Banaba leaves that are cleaned, prepared, and processed through a controlled extraction system. Water or food-grade solvents are used to dissolve the desired soluble components from the plant material. The resulting liquid extract is filtered for clarity, concentrated to increase solid content, and transformed into a stable dry powder through spray-drying or similar dehydration techniques. The dried extract is then milled and sieved to achieve a cohesive, evenly graded powder composed entirely of botanical solids.
Uses: Banaba Leaves Powder Extract is used in dry formulations, botanical blends, craft preparations, educational herb projects, prototype development, and research-oriented applications where a fine, uniform powdered extract is preferred. Its consistent texture allows it to integrate smoothly into creative mixtures, dry component systems, and instructional kits that incorporate concentrated plant-derived.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
