🛡️ Storage, Quality & Natural Variations
📦 Storage Instructions
- Store in a cool, dry environment below 25°C. Keep tightly sealed and away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is highly recommended for maximum shelf-life retention.
- Keep securely out of reach of children.
- Maintain original sealed packaging in an odor-free space with relative humidity strictly below 65%. Ensure packages do not make direct contact with bare walls or floors.
⚠️ Important Product Precautions
- Natural Color & Texture Variations: Because this is a 100% pure plant-based botanical extract, the color, taste, and powder texture (ranging from fine to slightly coarse) may vary naturally from batch to batch.
- Natural Clumping Note: Due to the absolute absence of synthetic anti-caking agents or chemical fillers, the powder may naturally form soft clumps if exposed to ambient heat or moisture. This does not impact product quality or efficacy.

Pandan vs Pandan Matcha (comparison)
– Pandan extract powder: concentrated aromatic extract derived from pandan leaves, supplied as a free-flowing powder for use as flavouring and natural green colouring in dry and wet formulations.
– Pandan Matcha: a blend product combining finely milled green tea matcha with pandan extract to create a two-note powdered mix (earthy green tea plus pandan aroma) intended for ready-to-use beverage mixes and premium instant blends.

Chemistry of Pandan — 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline (2-AP)
The compound that defines pandan’s aroma is 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP, PubChem CID 529583), a five-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring with an acetyl substituent. 2-AP is the same aroma-active compound responsible for the characteristic fragrance of basmati rice and jasmine rice, and it occurs naturally in pandan leaves at concentrations that make pandan one of the richest plant-based suppliers of this compound. Its extremely low odour threshold — measured in parts per billion — means even trace quantities produce a powerful aromatic effect, which is why pandan is used sparingly in cooking and why 2-AP content (ppm) is the key standardisation marker for pandan extract powder.
Beyond 2-AP, pandan leaf contains other volatile compounds that contribute to its complex aroma profile. 3-Methyl-2-(5H)-furanone contributes a sweet, caramel-like note, while acetylpyrazine adds a roasted, nutty dimension. These minor volatiles work alongside 2-AP to create the full pandan aroma that synthetic flavourings cannot replicate.
Chlorophyll is the natural green colour compound in pandan leaves. In extract powder form, chlorophyll content (mg/g) determines the intensity of the green hue in finished products. Chlorophyll is light-sensitive and degrades under prolonged UV exposure, causing colour shift from green to olive-brown over time, which is why storage conditions and packaging are critical specification parameters for buyers.
For formulators, 2-AP content (ppm) is the primary specification parameter because it determines aroma strength and cost-in-use. A higher 2-AP content means stronger pandan fragrance at lower inclusion rates. Chlorophyll content (mg/g) is the secondary specification for colour applications. Both should be confirmed on the COA for every lot, as 2-AP and chlorophyll levels vary with leaf maturity, harvest timing, and processing conditions.
Typical Specification Parameters
| Parameter | Why It Matters to a Buyer |
|---|---|
| 2-AP content (ppm) | The primary aroma specification. Determines fragrance intensity, inclusion rate, and cost-in-use. Must be verified on every COA for batch-to-batch aroma consistency. Higher 2-AP content means stronger pandan aroma at lower dosage. |
| Chlorophyll content (mg/g) | The primary colour specification. Determines green colour intensity in finished products. Should be verified on the COA alongside 2-AP content for buyers specifying pandan for both colour and aroma. |
| Extraction ratio | Indicates the concentration level of the extract. A 7.5:1 ratio means 7.5 kg of fresh leaf material yields 1 kg of extract powder. Higher ratios mean more concentrated material and lower cost-in-use per unit of aroma. |
| Moisture (%) | Excess moisture promotes caking, microbial growth, and aroma degradation during storage. Typical spray-dried powder should be below 5%. |
| Particle size (mesh) | Affects dispersibility, dissolution rate, and texture. Finer particles dissolve faster and blend more uniformly in dry-mix applications. Typical specification is 80–100 mesh. |
| Bulk density (g/mL) | Determines volume-to-weight ratios for packaging, silo storage, and dosing equipment calibration. Low bulk density increases packaging volume per kilogram. |
| Ash content (%) | Indicates mineral residue after incineration. High ash suggests contamination or incomplete purification. Typical specification is below 5%. |
| Heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Hg) | Regulatory compliance for food safety. Limits must meet destination-market standards (e.g. EU, US FDA, Codex Alimentarius). Verified on the COA for every lot. |
| Microbial limits | Total plate count, yeast & mould, E. coli, and Salmonella must be within specification. Spray drying reduces bioburden, but post-processing handling must maintain limits through to delivery. |
Format, Packaging and Storage
25 kg vacuum-sealed kraft bags with inner liners, or lined drums for palletised container loads. R&D sample quantities available for specification testing. Packaging options include vacuum-sealed kraft bags, lined drums, or customer-specified primary packaging for private-label projects. Palletised and shrink-wrapped for export.
Pandan chlorophyll is light-sensitive and degrades under prolonged UV and visible light exposure, causing the green colour to shift toward olive-brown over time. 2-AP aroma compounds are volatile and can dissipate if packaging is not properly sealed. Store in original sealed packaging below 25°C, relative humidity below 65%, in odour-free conditions away from direct sunlight. Opaque or light-blocking packaging is recommended for extended storage. Shelf life is 24 months from manufacture date in original sealed packaging under specified storage conditions.

How to Qualify a Pandan Extract Supplier
- Request a recent COA with 2-AP content (ppm), chlorophyll content (mg/g), moisture, ash, heavy metals, and microbial results for the offered lot
- Verify the specification sheet lists extraction ratio, particle size, mesh size, bulk density, and 2-AP content values
- Confirm 2-AP content is consistent batch-to-batch, as aroma strength directly affects finished-product quality and cost-in-use
- Check chlorophyll content is reported and consistent, as green colour intensity is a key visual quality parameter for pandan products
- Validate heavy metals meet destination-market regulatory limits (EU, US FDA, Codex Alimentarius)
- Confirm microbial limits include total plate count, yeast & mould, E. coli, and Salmonella
- Request an allergen declaration and list of processing aids used during extraction and spray-drying
- Ask for evaluation samples to test aroma intensity, colour, and solubility in your specific formulation matrix
- Confirm FSSC 22000, Halal, GMP, and HACCP certifications are current and facility-level
- Verify export documentation, packing lists, and lead-time commitments for your order volume, and confirm private-label packaging and OEM services if required
