Garuda International's Quillaja (quillaia) extract is an ingredient made from the concentrated purified extract of the outer cambium layer of the Quillaja Saponaria Molina tree, commonly identified as quillay bark, or soap bark, native to Chile. Quillaja Extract Powder is a perfect raw material for use in foods, beverages, natural soaps and shampoos.
Benefits
Quillaja (quillaia) is a natural GRAS (generally recognized as safe) food-grade surfactant ingredient (raw material) rich in saponins and sapogenins. Quillaja extract powder raw material can be used to formulate liquid soaps without artificial saponification of fats or vegetable oils, the method used even to prepare what are often called "Natural" soaps. Quillaia is a natural soap-like ingredient by its very nature. Quillaja raw material can be used anywhere a non-ionic surfactant can be used. Quillaia raw material has been used for decades as an ingredient to create the foaming in beverages such as root beer, low-alcohol beers and foaming carbonated beverages.
Advantages
Garuda's quillaja (quillaia) extract powder will not impart the color or taste that is common in many other commercially available quillaja extract raw materials. It is a carefully refined ingredient from sustainably harvested quillay trees.
Quality Assurance
Garuda quillaja extract powder raw material has a shelf life in excess of two years without loss of foaming ability or ingredient integrity
