Extract of prickly pear cactus stem (cladode) standardized raw material
Opuntia dillenii Cladode Extract - Derived from prickly pear cactus, water-extracted, standardized plant material for B2B use.
A standardized extraction material developed from the stem of the prickly pear cactus adapted to dry environments, suitable for clean label design.
This product is a standardized plant extract made solely from the stem (cladode) of the cactus species Opuntia dillenii, manufactured using a water extraction method. The cladode serves the role of storing moisture and nutrients in arid regions and is characterized by containing plant-derived components primarily consisting of polysaccharides and minerals. Unlike general cactus whole plant powders, this raw material is limited to the stem (cladode) and is extracted and concentrated after removing unnecessary insoluble fibers. This approach reduces variability in the raw material characteristics and enhances reproducibility and stability in formulation design. The extraction ratio is standardized, making it easy to formulate even with small amounts, and it is suitable for a wide range of applications including functional foods, dietary supplements, and cosmetic ingredients. The powder is fine and has excellent flowability, designed to ensure compatibility and dispersibility with other raw materials. This product is supplied under a quality management system based on specification management and COA (Certificate of Analysis) for the domestic and international B2B market that emphasizes clean label, plant-derived, and traceable raw materials.

Applications/Examples of results
Functional foods and health supplements As plant-derived materials, they are used in supplements, powdered foods, and granulated products that focus on dietary fiber design and balance support. The standardization is appreciated for allowing a high degree of freedom in formulation design. Functional beverages and food applications Due to their excellent dispersibility in powdered form, they have a proven track record in applications for plant-based beverages, health-oriented drinks, and functional foods. They can be designed to minimize sedimentation, preserving product appearance and mouthfeel. Cosmetics and personal care applications Leveraging their plant-derived and mild characteristics, they are adopted as cosmetic ingredients aimed at skin conditioning. They are being considered for skincare and body care products. There is a supply track record for Europe and North America (functional foods), Japan and South Korea (clean label and plant-derived cosmetics), and the Middle East (plant-based wellness), and they are evaluated as ingredients intended for long-term use.
