Simplisia vs Super Hydro™: extraction separates active compounds from fibre and starch

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

Pumpkin Extract (Cucurbita moschata): 3 Studies and Product Opportunities

Pumpkin is known as a source of beta-carotene, a provitamin A that gives a natural orange color. The most relevant studies in this pool cover its nutritional value and use as a food ingredient, not medicinal effects. Many other pumpkin studies in the pool used Cucurbita pepo seed oil, so they are not used here.

Study 1 · Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Strong evidence

Child acceptability of a novel provitamin A carotenoid, iron and zinc-rich complementary food blend prepared from pumpkin and common bean in Uganda: a randomised control trial.

Buzigi, Pillay, Siwela BMC pediatrics, 2020.

Study design: Randomized crossover acceptance trial in children aged 6 to 24 months in Uganda (n = 35 per sequence). A 100 g complementary food of pumpkin alone, or a pumpkin and red bean mix.

Key findings
  • Mean intake was 53.9 g for the pumpkin-bean mix and 54.4 g for pumpkin alone, with no significant difference; both met the acceptance threshold.
  • Vitamin A intake was higher with pumpkin alone: 152.5 vs 100.9 μgRAE.
  • The bean mix gave higher iron (1.1 vs 0.3 mg) and zinc (0.58 vs 0.13 mg) intake.
  • Eating time was almost the same, about 20.6 and 20.3 minutes.

What it means for your product: Shows that pumpkin is well accepted as a food ingredient and contributes vitamin A. Relevant to fortification and family food products, not to health claims.

Study 2 · Scientific review Supporting evidence

Physicochemical, nutritional and functional properties of Cucurbita moschata.

Men, Choi, Han, et al. Food science and biotechnology, 2021.

Study design: Review of the physicochemical properties, nutrient content, and functional properties of Cucurbita moschata.

Key findings
  • Cucurbita moschata is rich in carotenoids, vitamins, dietary fiber, minerals, and phenolic compounds.
  • Several studies report anti-obesity, antidiabetic, antibacterial, and anticancer potential; the abstract does not detail the study designs.
  • The authors state that its use for human health still needs further research.

What it means for your product: A core reference on the nutrient profile of the same species as this SKU, useful for specification sheets and educational material.

Study 3 · Scientific review Supporting evidence

Carotenoid Content and Profiles of Pumpkin Products and By-Products.

Ninčević Grassino, Rimac Brnčić, Badanjak Sabolović, et al. Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2023.

Study design: Review of carotenoid content and profile in pumpkin products and by-products (flesh, peel, seeds).

Key findings
  • The main pumpkin carotenoids are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin; beta-carotene dominates in most species.
  • Carotenoid levels depend strongly on species, cultivar, growing conditions, plant part, and extraction method.
  • Pumpkin and its by-products are considered a valuable source of carotenoids for functional foods.

What it means for your product: Underlines the importance of stating beta-carotene content on the CoA, because it varies widely between sources and processes.

Claims you can make

Language guide for B2B and educational materials. Claims on finished product labels and ads must be the ones approved by BPOM at registration.

OK to say

  • Contains pumpkin extract (Cucurbita moschata) with beta-carotene as a marker.
  • Pumpkin is a natural source of carotenoids, mainly beta-carotene (according to the CoA content).
  • Pumpkin is a food ingredient widely known in Indonesian cuisine.

Avoid

  • Prevents or treats diabetes, obesity, or cancer.
  • Supports eye health or prevents blindness, unless a vitamin A nutrition claim is approved by BPOM.
  • Using pumpkin seed oil research (prostate, hair) for pumpkin flesh extract.

The acceptance study used cooked fresh pumpkin, not extract powder, and the pool contains no efficacy clinical trials for Cucurbita moschata. Beta-carotene content can drop with heat and light, so watch stability during processing and storage. The halal status of this SKU is not yet certified.

Using this research for BPOM registration

  1. Add the three journals above to the literature review or the safety and benefit supporting data in your product dossier.
  2. Attach BBK's specification and per-batch CoA as raw material quality data. The specification always ships with the order; CoA is available on request.
  3. Match your serving size to the doses used in the studies, then confirm final claims with a regulatory consultant or BPOM.

The studies above were not done with BBK products. BBK extracts are made with the Super Hydro™ method, but study results do not automatically apply to your finished product.
