Super Hydro^™

Produced with the Super Hydro™ method

Super Hydro™ is an extraction method developed by BBK's extract manufacturing team. It draws out the active compounds of natural materials more effectively at a lower concentration. Based on our internal testing, a Super Hydro™ extract at a 2:1 ratio delivers performance comparable to a 5:1 extract from non-standardised producers.

Patent status: The Super Hydro™ method is currently patent pending. Even so, every BBK extract has been produced with this method from the start, so each batch you receive meets a quality standard above the market average.

Research & product opportunities

Kencur Extract (Kaempferia galanga): 3 Studies and Product Opportunities

Kencur is the core ingredient of beras kencur, one of the best-known jamu in Indonesia. International research still consists of reviews and laboratory studies; there is no clinical efficacy trial in humans in this pool. There is, however, a formulation study that is directly relevant to R&D teams.

Study 1 · Scientific review Supporting evidence

Kaempferia galanga L.: Progresses in Phytochemistry, Pharmacology, Toxicology and Ethnomedicinal Uses.

Wang, Zhao, Xu, et al. Frontiers in pharmacology, 2021.

Study design: Literature review of the ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of Kaempferia galanga rhizome.

Key findings

Ninety-seven compounds have been identified from kencur rhizome, including terpenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, and esters.
Traditionally used for colds, dry cough, toothache, and rheumatism, and widely used as a spice because of its aroma.
Pharmacological studies report anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial activity.
The authors state that in-depth studies on toxicity and quality control are still needed.

What it means for your product: A basic reference for the dossier literature review. The authors' note on quality underlines the importance of a CoA with the ethyl p-methoxycinnamate content.

Study 2 · Laboratory study (in vitro) Early evidence

Formulation and Evaluation of Mucoadhesive Oral Care Gel Containing Kaempferia galanga Extract.

Wahyuni, Sufiawati, Shafuria, et al. Pharmaceutics, 2024.

Study design: Formulation study of a mucoadhesive oral care gel containing ethanolic kencur rhizome extract, with 14-day physical stability testing, RP-HPLC analysis, and a hedonic test in 30 respondents.

Key findings

Carbopol 934 was the best gelling agent, stable over 14 days of storage.
Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (EPMC) was detected in gels containing 5 percent and 10 percent extract.
The gel with 5 percent extract was the most sensorially accepted by respondents.
An earlier study by the same team recorded an anti-inflammatory effect in rats at 0.5 to 1 percent extract.

What it means for your product: Gives a practical formula starting point (gel base and concentration) for oral care brands. Effectiveness in humans has not been tested.

Study 3 · Laboratory study (in vitro) Early evidence

Six new phenylpropanoids from Kaempferia galanga L. and their anti-inflammatory activity.

Zhu, Chen, Zeng, et al. Fitoterapia, 2024.

Study design: Isolation of phenylpropanoid compounds from kencur rhizome and anti-inflammatory testing in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells.

Key findings

Six new phenylpropanoid compounds were isolated from kencur rhizome.
These compounds showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting NO production and the expression of iNOS and COX-2.
One compound suppressed NF-κB translocation at a concentration of 40 μM.

What it means for your product: Enriches the active compound profile of kencur for R&D purposes. Results in cells cannot be used as product claims.
