Generally dried goji berries are used to make a concentrated Goji berry extract powder with the desired polysaccharide content.
The intended Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides
(LBP) are water soluble, a sterile process environment is necessary the
extract this component from the berries.
After extraction the liquid extract is dried
into powder. This extraction process can result in various extract
powders. The most common one is a water soluble Wolfberry extract powder
with 10% Polysaccharides (LBP).
In order to reach considerable higher
LBP-contents then this 10%, prior to drying, molecular separation
techniques are used to separate the smaller molecules (mainly mono- and
disaccharides) from the liquid extract.
Depending on the degree in which these smaller
molecules are removed, the higher the actual content of LBP in the
extract powder will be.
In this way, practically the highest content of LBP that can be reached is approximately 50% polysaccharides.
In this way, practically the highest content of LBP that can be reached is approximately 50% polysaccharides.
