Description
The polyphenol-enriched extract of apple fruit and peel (Malus domestica), containing oligomeric procyanidins, phloridzin (the apple-characteristic dihydrochalcone glycoside), chlorogenic acid, and apple-derived flavonoids. Positioned for sports-performance, metabolic-health, and antioxidant applications.
Light brown to brown free-flowing powder with characteristic mild apple aroma. Highly water-soluble.
We supply food-grade Apple Polyphenols from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production. Unripe-apple and apple-peel sources offer different polyphenol profiles.
Common market grades include Total Polyphenols 50 percent, 70 percent, 80 percent, and 90 percent. Phloridzin-standardized grades (typically 5 percent or 10 percent phloridzin) are offered for diabetic-support positioning. Procyanidin-enriched grades targeting muscle-recovery and endurance applications are also available.
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering total polyphenols (Folin-Ciocalteu), phloridzin content (HPLC), procyanidin content, residual solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiology.
Introduction
Apple polyphenols entered the modern supplement market driven by Japanese sports-nutrition research demonstrating endurance benefits in animal and human studies of unripe-apple procyanidin extracts. The category was subsequently broadened to include apple-peel and pomace-derived materials valued for their total polyphenol content.
Industrial production proceeds by aqueous extraction of apple pomace, peel, or unripe fruit, followed by membrane separation and adsorption-resin chromatography to enrich polyphenol content while removing sugars, organic acids, and pectin.
Recognized as a permitted food ingredient by the U.S. FDA (GRAS for typical apple-pomace polyphenol preparations), the European Food Safety Authority, and equivalent regulators worldwide.
Strategic positioning combines sports-nutrition applications (the established premium segment), metabolic-health applications leveraging phloridzin's documented effects on glucose handling, and broad antioxidant supplement positioning.
Where it is used
- Sports nutrition: endurance and muscle-recovery formulations (the strongest evidence-based application)
- Metabolic-health and blood-sugar-management supplements (phloridzin-standardized)
- Beauty-from-within supplements with antioxidant and skin-health claims
- Premium functional beverages and antioxidant-positioned drinks
- Weight-management dietary supplements
- Cardiovascular-health supplement formulations
- Cosmetic skincare: antioxidant and anti-aging formulations
- Pet supplements with antioxidant positioning
