Nutralighting Offers Jasmine Extract in three flavonoid grades – 5%, 10%, and 20% – each HPLC-verified for rutin and luteolin content, tailored for calming, antioxidant, and skincare formulas.‌

Basic Information

Product Description

Available Specifications and Their Value

We provide Jasmine Extract in three flavonoid grades: 5%, 10%, and 20%. Each grade carries its own HPLC-confirmed rutin and luteolin profile, so you can match the specification precisely to your formula target.

The 5% grade fits well into everyday wellness products where jasmine is paired with other botanicals promoting calm and relaxation. The 10% grade represents our most popular option, aligning with the concentration levels found in published research. The 20% grade delivers a highly concentrated flavonoid profile suited for premium anti-stress and skin-care applications.

Three factors set our supply apart. Our raw flowers come from Yunnan and Fujian provinces in southern China, areas where jasmine has been cultivated for generations and where growing conditions naturally concentrate flavonoids. We extract using food-grade ethanol, a method that captures the full complement of flavonoids, coumarins, and phenolic acids without leaving harmful solvent traces. Every shipment is tested before it leaves our facility, and the COA reflects actual measured values, not labels based on theory.

Why Jasmine Matters in Formulation

Jasmine flowers are among the most recognised floral botanicals in the world. The fragrance alone has been associated with mood enhancement and relaxation in both traditional practice and modern research. Beyond scent, the flower contains a rich portfolio of bioactive compounds.

Flavonoids form the core active fraction of jasmine extract. Rutin, luteolin, quercetin, and kaempferol glycosides have all been identified by LC-MS analysis. These compounds contribute antioxidant capacity and support vascular integrity.

Coumarins represent another important class of constituents. Scopoletin and umbelliferone have been isolated from jasmine flower extracts and are studied for their anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory properties.

Polysaccharides and volatile organic compounds add to the overall bioactivity profile, though they are not used as standardisation markers in our extracts.

Active Constituents

Primary Marker: Total Flavonoids

Total flavonoids serve as the chief quality indicator for Jasmine Extract. We measure this parameter spectrophotometrically using the AlCl3 colourimetric method and report results as rutin equivalent.

Three grades are offered:

• 5% total flavonoids – entry-level for general relaxation and wellness formulas
• 10% total flavonoids – mid-range matching most published research concentrations
• 20% total flavonoids – high-potency grade for premium product lines

Across every grade, batch variation stays within ±10% of the stated flavonoid value.

Secondary Marker: Rutin

Rutin (rutoside) is the most abundant and best-characterised flavonoid glycoside in jasmine flower. It is quantified by HPLC with UV detection at 360 nm.

• 5% grade: rutin ≥ 0.5%
• 10% grade: rutin ≥ 1.0%
• 20% grade: rutin ≥ 2.0%

Rutin is known for its vascular protective effects. It strengthens capillary walls and reduces permeability, properties that have been documented in both preclinical and clinical investigations.

Tertiary Marker: Luteolin

Luteolin is a aglycone flavone present in jasmine extract. It is measured by HPLC-UV at 350 nm and contributes to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of the extract.

• Luteolin content typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.8% across all grades
• Luteolin-7-glucoside is present in smaller quantities

The luteolin-to-rutin ratio varies by cultivar and extraction method. Full chromatographic data appears in each batch COA.

Other Identified Constituents

Additional phytochemicals detected in jasmine extract include:

• Quercetin and its glycosides (isoquercitrin, quercetin-3-rhamnoside)
• Kaempferol and kaempferol glycosides (kaempferide)
• Scopoletin and umbelliferone (coumarin derivatives)
• Phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid)
• Triterpenoid saponins
• Polysaccharides

Analytical Data Sheet

Mechanism of Action

Nervous System Modulation

Jasmine extract has demonstrated calming properties in preclinical models. The flavonoid fraction modulates GABAergic neurotransmission by enhancing GABA-A receptor activity. This mechanism parallels the action of classical anxiolytics, though at a much milder potency level.

Studies on jasmine aroma and extract have shown reductions in cortisol levels and sympathetic nervous system activity. These effects support the traditional use of jasmine for stress relief and sleep promotion.

Antioxidant Protection

Flavonoids in jasmine extract neutralise reactive oxygen species through direct electron donation. Rutin and luteolin scavenge superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, protecting cellular membranes and proteins from oxidative damage.

The extract also upregulates endogenous antioxidant defences. Treatment with jasmine extract increases SOD, CAT, and GPx enzyme activity in model systems, providing a two-layer defence against oxidative stress.

Vascular and Skin Support

Rutin strengthens microvascular integrity by stabilising capillary endothelial cells. It reduces capillary fragility and permeability, properties that are relevant for both cardiovascular and dermatological applications.

In skin-care contexts, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions of jasmine flavonoids help protect against UV-induced damage. Luteolin inhibits tyrosinase activity, which may contribute to skin brightening effects.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

Jasmine extract suppresses pro-inflammatory mediator production. The flavonoid fraction inhibits NF-κB nuclear translocation and reduces expression of COX-2, iNOS, TNF-α, and IL-6. This broad anti-inflammatory profile supports both systemic and topical applications.

Traditional and Modern Use

Traditional Use

Jasmine flower has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 1,000 years. The dried flower (茉莉花，Molihua) is classified as acrid, bitter, and warm in nature. It enters the lung and spleen meridians. Its traditional functions include soothing the liver, regulating qi, and relieving distress.

In Indian Ayurvedic practice, jasmine is valued for its calming and aphrodisiac properties. The flower is used in formulations for nervous exhaustion, insomnia, and emotional imbalance.

In Middle Eastern traditional medicine, jasmine preparations are employed for headache relief and as a mild sedative. The aromatic qualities of the flower have long been associated with mood elevation and relaxation.

Modern Research Evidence

A 2021 study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology evaluated the anxiolytic effects of Jasminum officinale flower extract in animal models. The extract produced significant reductions in anxiety-like behaviours at doses of 100-400 mg/kg, with effects comparable to diazepam at the higher dose range.

Research published in PMC investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of jasmine flower extract in vitro. The extract demonstrated potent DPPH radical scavenging activity and inhibited lipid peroxidation by up to 70% at concentrations of 100 μg/mL.

A 2023 study examined the dermatological effects of jasmine extract on UV-protected skin cells. The extract reduced UV-induced inflammation and supported collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts.

Recommended Usage

Dosage Range

Based on traditional use and published research, the recommended daily intake of Jasmine Extract ranges from 200-800 mg. For our extracts, this translates to:

• 5% flavonoid grade: 400-1,600 mg per day
• 10% flavonoid grade: 200-800 mg per day
• 20% flavonoid grade: 100-400 mg per day

For relaxation and stress support, clinical studies typically use 200-500 mg per day of 10% grade extract. For skin-care applications, lower doses may be sufficient when combined with other botanicals.

The precise dose depends on your formulation design, target indication, and desired flavonoid intake.

Application Forms

Jasmine Extract is compatible with a wide range of dosage forms:

• Capsules and tablets for stress-relief and sleep-support supplements
• Powdered blends for multi-ingredient calming formulas
• Functional beverages – the delicate floral flavour integrates well without overpowering
• Softgels – the lipophilic fraction disperses effectively in oil bases
• Topical skincare – the flavonoid profile supports anti-aging and UV-protection formulations

Formulation Notes

Jasmine Extract carries a natural floral aroma that enhances product sensory appeal. The mild taste profile requires minimal flavour masking in most applications.

The extract dissolves readily in both aqueous and ethanolic systems. For beverage use, the 5% and 10% grades disperse more easily due to their lower concentration of bound flavonoid material.

Heat sensitivity is a consideration. Processing temperatures above 60°C may degrade heat-labile flavonoids. Where possible, keep thermal exposure below this threshold.

Blend uniformity should be confirmed through sampling and HPLC rutin analysis before final packaging.
