The 30%/60% difference reflects Total Saponins content measured via UV-Vis. 60% is positioned for premium applications; 30% is the common specification for standard applications and animal nutrition.
Yucca saponins are steroidal saponins (sarsasapogenin, smilagenin), structurally different from triterpene saponins (ginseng, tribulus). They are natural surfactants with strong foaming properties.
Yucca Extract is commonly combined with Quillaja Extract (another saponin source) and botanical antioxidants in joint and antioxidant formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.
Yucca schidigera extract is permitted as a food supplement ingredient and natural flavoring in the EU. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Total Saponins content is quantified via UV-Vis spectroscopy (vanillin-glacial acetic acid method) or HPLC for specific saponins per industry-standard methods.
Standard MOQ is 25 kg. Smaller quantities (5-10 kg) are available for evaluation.
