MEDIOCON INC offers Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers, a naturally sourced botanical ingredient obtained from the flowers of Clitoria ternatea L., commonly known as Butterfly Pea or Blue Pea.
Clitoria ternatea is a perennial leguminous plant belonging to the Fabaceae family. The flowers are characterized by their vivid blue colour and naturally occurring anthocyanin pigments, particularly the polyacylated anthocyanins known as ternatins.
Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers are used as a botanical ingredient in herbal infusions, teas, food and beverage preparations, natural colour applications and specialty formulations. Research has specifically investigated dried or fresh butterfly pea petals as a source of anthocyanins for food applications.
Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers are carefully dried flowers of Clitoria ternatea intended for applications where a natural botanical flower ingredient is required.
The characteristic blue colour is associated with its anthocyanin profile. Ternatins are polyacylated derivatives of delphinidin-based anthocyanins and are responsible for much of the intense blue colour of butterfly pea flowers.
The final appearance, colour intensity and phytochemical composition can vary depending on:
Scientific Name: Clitoria ternatea L.
Common Name: Butterfly Pea
Other Common Names: Blue Pea, Butterfly Pea Flower
Family: Fabaceae
Genus: Clitoria
Plant Part: Flower / Petal
Kew lists Clitoria ternatea L. as an accepted species.
Butterfly pea flowers contain abundant anthocyanins responsible for their characteristic blue colour.
Ternatins are distinctive polyacylated anthocyanins found in Clitoria ternatea flowers and are important contributors to the intense blue pigmentation.
Research has identified flavonol glycosides including derivatives associated with kaempferol, quercetin and myricetin.
The flower contains additional naturally occurring polyphenolic and botanical constituents contributing to its overall phytochemical profile.
One of the most distinctive properties of Butterfly Pea Flowers is their natural blue pigmentation.
Research indicates that butterfly pea anthocyanins can exhibit different colour characteristics depending on pH. Extracted anthocyanins have been investigated for their potential as natural edible blue colourants.
This makes the dried flowers particularly interesting for:

Suitable packaging should protect the dried flowers from moisture, light and contamination.
Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers are a whole botanical material, not a purified chemical compound.
Therefore:
For whole dried flowers, a pharmaceutical-style assay is generally not appropriate.
If the material is supplied as a standardized butterfly pea extract, specifications can instead be based on:
For your CMS, unless your supplier provides a validated standardization, use:
Standardization: Not standardized / Natural dried flower material
