Siraitia grosvenorii (Luo Han Guo) fruit extract · CAS 88901-36-4

A practical middle step between cost and dosage — MV25 balances robust natural sweetness against a landed cost most projects can absorb.
Bulk Monk Fruit Extract Powder (Mogroside V 25%) is supplied at ≥ 25 % Mogroside V · HPLC, delivering 170–210× sucrose with 0 kcal / 100 g and a glycaemic index of 0 (zero glycaemic). Minimum order is 25 kg (1 fibre drum) · free 20–100 g sample, and every batch ships with a batch-specific COA.
What it is. Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) C. Jeffrey, known in trade as Luo Han Guo. The sweet principle is the triterpene glycoside Mogroside V. Botanical / chemical identity: Siraitia grosvenorii (Luo Han Guo) fruit extract. CAS: 88901-36-4.
How it is made. Hot-water extraction of dried Siraitia grosvenorii fruit, membrane ultrafiltration to remove sugars and pigments, macroporous-resin adsorption to concentrate the mogrosides, then vacuum concentration and spray-drying. No methanol, no ethanol, no synthetic solvents at any stage.
Performance in application. The powder is cold-soluble and heat-stable through pasteurisation, UHT and baking, and it holds sweetness across the pH range typical of soft drinks, dairy and bakery systems. It contributes no browning on its own, so formulations that need crust colour pair it with allulose or tagatose.
Why buyers choose this grade. Sweetness equivalence of 170–210× sucrose means the inclusion rate — not the price per kilogram — determines cost-in-use. At this potency a 25 kg drum covers a very large volume of finished product, which is why we quote landed cost per finished unit rather than per kilogram of powder.
Quality and documentation. Every batch is released against a batch-specific certificate of analysis covering assay, moisture, ash, heavy metals, microbiological limits and a 450+ compound pesticide multi-residue screen. Halal and Kosher certificates are issued against the producing plant, and third-party verification is available on request.
Supply and logistics. 25 kg (1 fibre drum) · free 20–100 g sample. Stocked grades ship within 3–5 business days from the Guangzhou warehouse. Incoterms offered are FOB Nansha / Yantian, CIF, CFR and DDP door-to-door by air or express.
