What is the Apple Polyphenols Powder UV70%?
Apple polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by the apple tree (Malus pumila Mill.) during its growth cycle. They constitute a composite active ingredient comprising multiple phenolic compounds, primarily including chlorogenic acid, proanthocyanidins (particularly procyanidin B2), catechins, epicatechins, and geniposidic acid. Compared to other plant polyphenols, the polymerisation degree of proanthocyanidins in apple polyphenols typically ranges between 2 and 6, existing predominantly as oligomers. This confers superior bioavailability and antioxidant activity.
Numerous "apple extracts" on the market suffer from issues such as unclear ingredient profiles, significant fluctuations in total polyphenol content, and unstable ratios of key active components. These challenges compromise formulation consistency, efficacy validation, and international compliance for B2B clients.
To address this, we introduce our UV 70% apple polyphenol powder, produced using patented technology. This is not merely a raw material, but a standardised, multi-active solution tailored for procurement managers, product development engineers, and quality decision-makers within the botanical extract industry. Strictly adhering to international pharmacopoeia standards and ISO quality management systems, its core value lies in clear ingredient lineage, precise polyphenol content, and full traceability throughout the supply chain. We are committed to presenting a comprehensive quality evidence chain through this detailed product dossier, spanning molecular structure to factory-release reports, thereby establishing ourselves as a reliable link within your supply chain.

What are the Product Technical Data Sheets?
Apple polyphenols constitute a complex compound whose biological activity is closely linked to both total polyphenol content and the proportion of key monomers. A professional TDS not only defines the total polyphenol content but also clarifies the efficacy differences underlying various specifications.
Standard Specification: UV ≥ 70% Apple Polyphenols. Common market specifications include UV gradients of 50%, 70%, and 75%. The 70% specification represents the industrial standard, offering an optimal balance between efficacy intensity, application cost, and formulation compatibility.
| Specification | Typical Total Polyphenol Content | Cost Implications | Efficacy & Application Differences |
|
Basic Grade |
10% - 60% | Economical | Suitable for cost-sensitive foundational health products, such as standard dietary supplements and food antioxidants. |
| High-Purity Grade | 70% | Optimal cost-effectiveness | Adequate polyphenol content with proven efficacy. Research indicates apple polyphenols exhibit 2.9 times the antioxidant activity of green tea extract. Suitable for functional foods targeting anti-ageing, skin brightening, and weight management, as well as premium skincare products. |
| Refined Grade | 75% | High cost | Suitable for premium formulations or pharmaceutical applications with specific active ingredient concentration requirements, though at significantly increased cost. |
Key Considerations: Selecting different specifications primarily involves balancing cost, efficacy intensity, and formulation positioning. Regardless of your choice, you will receive our consistent assurance of reliable sourcing, safety testing, and quality control systems.

Core Analytical Methods
- UV Method (Total Polyphenol Content): Employing the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent assay with gallic acid as the reference standard, total polyphenol content is determined at 760 nm wavelength. This method is simple to operate and cost-effective, serving as an industry-standard rapid assay for total polyphenols suitable for raw material acceptance and process control.
- HPLC Method (Characteristic Profiling and Monomer Quantification): Employing the General Chapter 0512 High-Performance Liquid Chromatography method from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, a characteristic fingerprint profile for apple polyphenols is established. Employing a C18 column and gradient elution programme, this method enables simultaneous separation and semi-quantitative analysis of multiple characteristic components, including chlorogenic acid, procyanidin B2, catechin, epicatechin, and phloretin. This constitutes an advanced quality control measure for systematically monitoring the overall consistency of a product's intrinsic chemical composition.

How Does the End-to-End Quality Management Work?
Our quality management system constitutes a closed-loop ecosystem spanning the entire lifecycle from cultivation and production through testing to release. Its core principles are "prevention-oriented, fully controllable, and data traceable".
Source Control (Upstream)
- Origin Advantage: Based in Shaanxi, China – one of the world's largest apple-producing regions – we possess extensive resources of high-quality apple raw material suppliers.
- Standardised Raw Material Management: Collaborating with audited contract farms, we conduct annual baseline testing of soil and irrigation water to ensure consistent raw material quality.
- Dual Verification for Raw Material Entry: Each batch must be accompanied by a certificate of origin. Upon arrival, materials undergo preliminary QC screening (moisture content, TLC rapid screening). Only those passing this stage enter the holding warehouse for comprehensive pesticide residue and heavy metal screening, ensuring only premium raw materials proceed to production.
Production Process Control (Midstream)
- HACCP-Based Critical Point Management: Multiple Critical Control Points (CCPs) are established throughout the production line. For instance, online monitoring is implemented during extraction, column chromatography, and drying processes to ensure operations remain within pre-validated "design space" parameters.
- Patented Process Assurance: Utilises proprietary patented production technology to guarantee process advancement and unique product competitiveness.
- Batch Traceability Management: Strictly implements area clearance, material identification, and electronic batch record systems to eliminate any potential confusion or cross-contamination.
Laboratory Quality Assurance (Downstream)
Release Testing and Stability Studies: Each batch of finished product must undergo comprehensive testing covering all physicochemical and safety parameters. Utilising advanced analytical instruments, including HPLC, UV, and GC, we assess multiple quality indicators such as total polyphenol content, characteristic fingerprint profiles, loss on drying, heavy metals, and microbial counts. Method Validation: All analytical methods undergo rigorous validation to ensure data reliability.
Digital Traceability and Continuous Improvement
- End-to-End Electronic Traceability System: Our MES system enables bidirectional electronic traceability from customer order placement to sales dispatch.
- Third-Party Authoritative Validation: Finished products are periodically submitted to international third-party institutions for parallel testing, serving as independent validation of our internal quality control system.
