Description
Astragalus Root Extract Description
Astragalus Root Extract is derived from the dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus or Astragalus mongholicus, traditional medicinal plants of the Fabaceae family. Available in both fine powder and viscous liquid forms, the extract exhibits a characteristic pale yellow to amber coloration with a distinctive mildly sweet, earthy aroma.
The extract’s bioactive profile features a unique combination of:
- High-molecular-weight polysaccharides (heteroglycans and glucans) that contribute to its hydrophilic properties
- Triterpenoid saponins, particularly Astragaloside IV as a key marker compound
- Beneficial isoflavonoids including formononetin and calycosin
- Supporting flavonoids and amino acids
This complex phytochemical composition gives the extract its characteristic properties:
- Moderate water solubility that improves with gentle heating or agitation
- Alcohol solubility for saponin components
- Good stability when stored in cool, dark, dry conditions
- Sensitivity to extreme pH levels and prolonged high temperatures
