Arugula (Eruca Sativa) Extract Powder
product description
Arugula (also known as rocket) is a fast-growing leafy green from the brassica family, scientifically named Eruca sativa. Its leaves are naturally rich in glucosinolates, dietary nitrate, vitamins C, K and A, and minerals — a nutrient profile that supports both cardiovascular and sports performance product concepts in a whole-food botanical format.
KH Health supplies arugula extract as a fine powder standardized to total glucosinolates or nitrate content, depending on your product concept. Nitrate-standardized grades target blood-flow, cardiovascular and endurance positioning through the well-studied nitrate-to-nitric oxide pathway. Glucosinolate-standardized grades — including glucoerucin and glucoraphanin precursors — support antioxidant and natural detoxification concepts.
We have specialized in plant extracts for 15 years,We ensure raw material stability through our own partner cultivation bases and guarantee export compliance via our in-house testing laboratories. We offer a comprehensive range of specifications at highly competitive prices, shipping directly from the factory with no middlemen involved. Additionally, we operate a subsidiary and an overseas warehouse in the United States, allowing us to significantly reduce shipping times for our North American customers.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between erucin and sulforaphane in arugula extract?
A: Both are important isothiocyanates found in cruciferous vegetables. Erucin is a key active compound specific to arugula, whereas Sulforaphane is more commonly found in broccoli. Research indicates that Erucin can interconvert with Sulforaphane in the body and shares potent Nrf2-activating and detoxification properties; arugula is the best natural source of Erucin.
Q2: Does heating or processing affect the extract's activity?
A: Our extraction process strictly controls temperatures during raw material pretreatment and extraction to preserve heat-sensitive glucosinolates and isothiocyanates. For final product processing, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to ultra-high temperatures to maintain optimal biological activity.
Q3: Do you guarantee the absence of residual solvents?
A: Yes. We utilize water or food-grade ethanol for extraction. During post-processing, we employ vacuum drying and rigorous GC testing to ensure that residual solvent levels fully comply with USP/EP and international safety standards.
Q4: What is the minimum order quantity and delivery cycle?
A:MOQ is 25kg for trial order, bulk order delivery cycle is 3-7 working days after payment.
Q5: Can you provide third-party test reports?
A:Yes. Each batch of products is equipped with official COA and MSDS reports, and we support SGS, TUV and other authoritative third-party testing as required by customers, with full test items covering heavy metals, microorganisms and active ingredient content.
Q6: What is the storage method and shelf life of the product?
A:Seal and store in a dry, cool and ventilated environment, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature and humidity. The shelf life of unopened products is 24 months, and it is recommended to use up within 3 months after opening to ensure active ingredient stability.
Q7: What are the main application limitations of the product?
A:This product is a natural plant raw material, not a finished drug. It is suitable for cosmetics, functional food and health product formulation addition, and is not recommended for direct medicinal use. The maximum addition ratio needs to refer to regional industry standard specifications.
