Phyllanthus emblica (Amalaki / Indian Gooseberry)
Pericarp Structure (High-Res)
Cultivation Zone: Madhya Pradesh
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Phyllanthus emblica supply chain prioritizes the retention of heat-sensitive ascorbic acid complexes. Unlike standard market varieties, Organicsio utilizes a proprietary shade-drying protocol (Temp < 40°C) combined with cryogenic grinding. This ensures optimal stability of the Emblicanin-A and Emblicanin-B antioxidant cascade. Each batch is rigorously tested for heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg) ensuring compliance with USP/EP standards for pharmaceutical-grade raw materials.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The matrix is characterized by a low molecular weight hydrolysable tannin profile. HPLC quantification confirms Gallic Acid (>4%) and Ellagic Acid equivalents. While famous for Vitamin C, the stability is attributed to the encapsulation of ascorbic acid by tannins, preventing oxidative degradation. This bio-asset serves as a potent Free Radical Scavenger (DPPH Assay validated).
Commercial Applications
- Nutraceuticals: Immune support formulations and Vitamin C bio-complexes.
- Cosmeceuticals: Pro-collagen serums and hair revitalization therapies (5-alpha reductase inhibition).
- Functional Foods: Base substrate for Chyawanprash and antioxidative beverages.
