Prunus Mume Extract

The Prunus mume extract is a high-activity plant extract raw material refined from the dried and nearly mature fruits of the Prunus persica plant of the Rosaceae family. It is produced through low-temperature concentration and multi-stage purification processes. The core production areas of wu mei are in Sichuan, Zhejiang and other places. These regions have a mild climate, moderate sunlight and precipitation, and high organic matter content in the soil, resulting in abundant nutrient accumulation in the green plum fruits. As a classic extract of both medicine and food, thePrunus mume extract is rich in organic acids, terpenoids, polysaccharides and amino acids. Its appearance is a fine powder of brownish-yellow to dark brown, with loose and uniform texture, and no lumps. The extract has the unique natural caramel fragrance and rich fruit acid aroma of wu mei, with a pure and mild odor without any pungent smell. The Prunus mume extract can dissolve quickly in water, and the solution is clear without suspended substances after dissolution. It is slightly soluble in anhydrous ethanol and completely insoluble in oil-based solvents.
