EU Standard Black Rice Extract Bulk | EC396 & PAH Compliant

What is EU Standard Black Rice Extract?

EU Standard Black Rice Extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from the pericarp of black rice (Oryza sativa L.). Meticulously quantified to high concentrations of Cianidin-3-o-glucoside (C3G) and total anthocyanins, this ingredient is engineered specifically for international compliance. Utilizing advanced water or ethanol extraction methods, it functions as a highly bioavailable, dark-purple natural colorant and potent antioxidant for the clean-label food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries.

Unlike generic plant extracts, this specialized ingredient fully complies with EU Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for maximum pesticide residue limits (MRLs). Every production batch from Tecnología de primavera verde is manufactured under strict GMP conditions to ensure seamless European customs clearance, guaranteeing a reliable, trace-free raw material that satisfies the highest cross-border safety benchmarks.

Furthermore, this EU-grade black rice extract features rigorous analytical control over Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs, including benzo[a]pyrene) and heavy metals. This verified chemical and technical compliance provides global manufacturers with a pharmaceutical-grade raw material that eliminates formulation risk, ensuring full alignment with European Union food safety and supplement directives.

Technical FAQ

Q1: How does Green Spring Technology guarantee that each batch of bulk black rice extract complies with the strict EU Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for pesticide residues?

A1: We implement strict supply chain controls and raw material segregation from validated farms. Every single commercial batch undergoes multi-residue screening via LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS chromatography, fully validated by independent third-party laboratories like Eurofins or SGS.

This rigorous control protocol ensures all unlisted pesticide residues are strictly held below the default European limit of MRLs ≤ 0.01 mg/kg, completely eliminating any maritime customs detention or recall risks for our global B2B clients.

Q2: What specific measures are taken during extraction to control Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and prevent contamination?

A2: Our extraction facilities are equipped with 100% closed, pristine food-grade 316L stainless-steel processing lines. This systematically eliminates the use of soft plastics or recycled rubber gaskets that leach harmful phthalates into the ingredients.

We avoid direct-fired drying methods, utilizing specialized low-temperature vacuum drying to ensure Benzo[a]pyrene is strictly < 2.0 ppb and the PAH4 sum is < 10.0 ppb, in perfect alignment with Regulation (EU) 2023/915.

Q3: Which extraction solvents are used, and does the residual profile comply with major international pharmacopoeias?

A3: Our manufacturing process at Green Spring Technology utilizes Ethanol and Purified Water only as the extraction solvent matrix, avoiding Class 1 or Class 2 toxic organic solvents.

The final powder undergoes rigorous volatile headspace gas chromatography to guarantee total residual solvent levels are well below 5,000 ppm, which fully satisfies the stringent requirements of both USP <467> and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) 5.4 for Class 3 solvents.
