Custom Botanical Extraction for Your Target Specification

Custom botanical extraction develops an ingredient around your chosen botanical, target composition and application. At Botanovance, we review feasibility, evaluate samples and plan production through our own manufacturing facilities. Each project moves forward against an agreed specification covering composition, carriers, physical properties and quality requirements.

When Does a Botanical Extract Need Custom Development?

Custom development is useful when an existing grade cannot meet a specific marker-content target, carrier restriction, solvent requirement or processing need.
Tell us what needs to change and why. If an available grade already meets your requirements, our botanical ingredients range may offer a simpler starting point.

What to Include in a Custom Extract Specification

A clear brief helps us assess feasibility and identify practical options. Separate essential requirements from preferences, and include a reference specification or sample where available.

Specification area Information to provide
Botanical identity Scientific name, plant part, required origin and source restrictions.
Target composition Markers, target ranges, analytical method and reporting basis.
Extract ratio Requested ratio and whether it describes native or finished extract.
Solvents and carriers Required or excluded solvents, residual limits, carrier identity and inclusion level.
Physical properties Relevant particle size, bulk density, moisture and handling requirements.
Sensory profile Acceptable color, taste and odor for the intended use.
Application Use level, formulation type and relevant pH, heat or processing condition

Extraction and Purification Methods

The process review considers how to obtain the target profile from the selected botanical, then prepare it for your application.

  • Extraction: Assess the botanical, solvent system and processing conditions.
  • Concentration and purification: Review solvent removal and any need to enrich selected constituents or reduce unwanted components.
  • Drying and finishing: Establish suitable carrier content and final powder properties.
Methods, equipment and achievable targets are confirmed during technical review.

Sample Evaluation in Your Formulation

A sample that meets its assay target still needs to work in your product.
For beverages and liquids, assess dispersion, sedimentation, color and flavor at the intended use level. For capsules, tablets and powders, focus on particle size, density, flow and processing compatibility
Agree on evaluation conditions before testing. Where further format development is needed, explore our specialty ingredient formats or particle engineering services.

Analytical Controls and Batch Documentation

Agree on identity checks, marker assays and relevant contaminant limits, together with the methods and reporting basis used to assess them.
Available records may include specifications, batch COAs, method information, source details and applicable certification documents. Testing scope and document availability are confirmed for the selected ingredient and manufacturing site.
State destination-market, Organic, Halal, Kosher or sourcing requirements early. See analytical testing and quality control for the broader testing scope.

From Feasibility to Commercial Production

Each stage resolves a different question before the next production commitment.

Establish What Is Technically Feasible

We review the botanical, target specification, application and expected volume, then identify feasible options and any requirements needing adjustment.

Evaluate Samples and Confirm Acceptance Criteria

Assess samples against the agreed analytical and application requirements. Record approved changes and finalize the specification before moving toward production.

Confirm Scale and Repeat-Order Requirements

Where appropriate and available, agree on trial production. Confirm commercial batch requirements, packing, documentation and scheduling, including any required notifications of source or process changes.
Our manufacturing network page provides the production-site overview.

MOQ, Cost and Lead Time for Custom Extracts

Custom extract manufacturing requirements depend on the botanical, specification and development work involved.

Item Main factors
MOQ Raw-material availability, achievable yield and production batch requirements. Confirm whether the minimum refers to botanical input or finished extract.
Cost Source material, target composition, processing, testing, development work, packing and order volume.
Lead time Material procurement, sample rounds, any trial production, analytical work and production scheduling.
Provide your initial quantity, annual forecast and required delivery date. Development charges, production pricing and timing can then be reviewed against the project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Botanical Extraction

Production staff in protective clothing reviewing documents inside an ingredient manufacturing facility

Yes, we can review it for feasibility. Include botanical identity, composition, analytical methods, carrier content and physical properties. A reference sample can help define the comparison.

No. Solvents, carrier content and constituent profiles also matter. Clarify whether the ratio refers to native or finished extract. Our standardized versus ratio extract guide explains the distinction.

Beverage requirements can be assessed during development. Specify whether you need a clear solution or a dispersion, together with use level, pH, temperature and acceptable sedimentation. See our water-soluble ingredient options.

The solvent route depends on the botanical, target constituents, intended use and facility capabilities. Include required or excluded solvents and residual limits in your brief for technical review.

Acceptance needs review before shipment. Provide identity, origin, quantity, quality records and storage information so we can assess suitability for the proposed process.

Flag confidentiality requirements in your initial inquiry. Agree on information-sharing terms and any required confidentiality agreement before providing proprietary specifications or process details.
