Macleaya cordata Extract and Analysis

Macleaya cordata is a perennial herb of the Papaveraceae family, the extract of which is obtained from the whole plant and purified by extraction. It is rich in multiple species of alkaloids and non-alkaloids, which is the basis of its use as a medicinal plant. As a feed additive, it can replace antibiotics and is an all-natural feed additive. As a biopesticide, it can control mites, oncomelania, maggots, aphids, etc.

To meet the demand for Macleaya cordata extract in feed and pesticide fields, Lifeasible has systematically improved the Macleaya cordata extraction process to provide customers with practical and industrialized production solutions. In addition, we also provide analytical services for Macleaya cordata extracts, offering solutions for the isolation, purification, and content testing of the active ingredients of the alkaloids.

• Macleaya cordata extract preparation services

Our methods for preparing Macleaya cordata extracts include high-speed counter-current chromatography, internal boiling, ultrasonic extraction, and chromatographic column methods. We have also improved the development process and provided our customers with the extraction solution set process, aiming to simplify the extraction process route, ensure product quality and reduce extraction costs.

• Macleaya cordata alkaloid isolation and purification services

To provide our customers with systematic physical and chemical properties of alkaloids in Macleaya cordata, we have established a protocol for separating and purifying Macleaya cordata alkaloid monomers using solvent extraction and pH-controlled separation as the main methods. We were able to isolate a variety of isoquinoline alkaloids from Macleaya cordata fruit pods by solvent method and column chromatography. They could be identified by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) methods.

• Macleaya cordata alkaloid content determination service

We have established an entire analytical method for Macleaya cordata alkaloids using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-ESI-MS coupling technique. It can provide data support for Macleaya cordata herb quality control and product development.

The analytical method provides rapid and efficient determination of various alkaloids in various parts of Macleaya cordata. The complete analysis time of the sample is about one-third that of conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), while the sensitivity and solvent consumption are much higher than conventional HPLC. With our established analytical method, the client can obtain accurate data on the alkaloid content of Macleaya cordata plant parts and Macleaya cordata fruit pods from different sources.

Macleaya cordata has excellent potential for animal health, the development of green plant-derived fungicides and pesticides, biopharmaceuticals, etc. The extraction process used by Lifeasible yields finished Macleaya cordata extracts with high and consistent active ingredient content. We also provide comprehensive testing and analysis services for Macleaya cordata extracts. Please feel free to contact us if you have a sample that needs to be tested.
