Jujube

Jujube is the fruit of Ziziphus jujuba, a small deciduous tree of the buckthorn family native to Asia, where the dried fruit is an everyday food and a traditional botanical. Nustras supplies jujube as dried fruit, dried fruit powder and fruit extract for the food and herbal supplement categories. The fruit is naturally rich in sugars and contains polysaccharides, triterpenic acids and flavonoids.

Jujube fruit and powder are formulated into functional foods and beverages, teas and drink mixes, confectionery and traditional-style herbal formulas; extract and powder are also used in capsules, tablets and premixes.

Dried jujube is a wrinkled reddish-brown fruit with a sweet, date-like taste; powder and extracts are reddish-brown to brown fine powders. Identity is confirmed by HPTLC against reference material, and extracts are standardised to specification for polysaccharide content by UV spectrophotometry. Heavy-metal, pesticide-residue and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies jujube in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Jujube fruit is an accepted food and herbal ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the plant part, extract ratio and permitted claim for their application.
