Barley extract

Barley extract (CAS 85251-64-5 ), also marketed as Hordeum vulgare extract, is a plant-derived concentrate obtained from processed barley grain. It delivers antioxidant activity, natural flavoring, and moisturizing functionality across food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications. In food and beverage manufacturing, it contributes malt-derived flavor notes and natural color to baked goods, cereals, soups, and fermented products. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into skin care products such as serums, creams, and hair conditioners. Its humectant properties support moisture retention in the finished formula, making it a versatile ingredient for personal care. In nutraceutical and dietary supplement production, it functions as a source of naturally occurring antioxidants. This extract supports product positioning around grain-based bioactives for health-conscious consumers. Animal feed and agricultural supplement manufacturers also use it as a functional additive to enhance palatability and nutritional profile. The ingredient is supplied as a liquid concentrate, spray-dried powder, or viscous paste depending on processing method and intended application. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly available for industrial use. Some suppliers offer standardized preparations aligned to FCC or Ph. Eur. botanical extract guidelines. Buyers should confirm standardization parameters such as beta-glucan or polyphenol content when sourcing for functional applications. Ensuring the correct specification is vital for label-claim applications and regulatory compliance. This versatile botanical extract remains a staple for manufacturers seeking natural, grain-derived solutions for diverse product lines. Contact us for supply of Barley extract Request Quote
