Pandan Extract — Bulk Supplier for US & Global Brands

Bionutricia manufactures pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius) leaf extract at origin in Malaysia and ships bulk powder and concentrate to food, beverage and flavour brands in the United States, Europe, the GCC and Asia. We extract in-house from fresh Malaysian farm leaf — not re-sold stock — under FSSC 22000, GMP and HACCP, with JAKIM HALAL certification and a US FDA registered facility. Full COA per lot.

Why pandan, and why now

Pandan is moving from Southeast Asian staple to global flavour: pandan lattes, pandan croissants and pastry, pandan ice cream and RTD beverages are appearing on menus and retail shelves across the US and Europe. The leaf’s signature aroma compound, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) — the same molecule behind jasmine rice’s fragrance — plus its natural green colour make it a two-in-one flavour-and-colour ingredient for clean-label formulation.

The supplier advantage

Pandan does not travel well as fresh leaf — the aroma fades within days of harvest. Extracting minutes from the farm is the only way to lock in 2-AP at its peak. Bionutricia’s pandan supply chain runs from Malaysian farms to our Selangor extraction facility, so brands buy direct from the manufacturer at origin instead of through trading houses. That means fresher aroma, per-lot traceability and manufacturer pricing.

Applications by category

Bakery: Pandan croissants, cakes, kaya jam, breads, steamed buns and mooncake fillings. Use case: A European artisan bakery adds pandan extract powder to croissant dough at 0.2% to deliver a fragrant, jasmine-rice-like aroma that differentiates a premium pastry line.
Beverages: Pandan latte bases, ready-to-drink pandan drinks, pandan soda, pandan tea, craft cocktails and mocktails. Use case: A US RTD beverage brand formulates a pandan-coconut latte using liquid concentrate, leveraging the extract’s water solubility for clean-label ingredient declarations.
Confectionery: Hard candies, fondant flavouring and chewy confections. Use case: A Southeast Asian confectioner uses spray-dried pandan powder in fondant centres for layered cakes, where the powder’s fine particle size ensures even flavour distribution without visible specks.
Cosmetics: Natural fragrance and green colour for soaps, lotions and personal-care formulations. Use case: A clean-beauty brand incorporates pandan extract into a botanical body wash for its fresh, leafy aroma and natural green tint, replacing synthetic fragrance and colourant in a single ingredient.
Dairy: Ice cream, frozen yogurt, custards, panna cotta and pudding bases. Use case: A premium ice cream manufacturer uses pandan liquid concentrate in a coconut-pandan frozen dessert, where the concentrate’s dark green colour delivers a vivid visual identity without added colourants.
