The Process at a Glance

Botanical Ingredient Development in Five Stages

LEPTI-P40™ moves from a defined botanical source through cultivation, harvesting, processing and analytical evaluation. Each stage has a clear role in preparing material for partner review.

01

Select and cultivate

Botanical ingredient development starts with a defined plant source and cultivation approach.

02

Monitor growth

Monitor plant growth and development during cultivation.

03

Harvest and select

Select botanical material for the next processing stage.

04

Process and evaluate

Apply defined processing and analytical evaluation steps.

05

Prepare for supply

Prepare evaluated material and relevant information for partner review.

01 — Botanical Origin

Botanical Ingredient Development Starts with Plant Selection

Botanical ingredient development begins with the plant source. Selection, cultivation practices and harvesting decisions all help determine the suitability of material moving forward. The accepted name and native range of Leptocarpha rivularis are recorded by Kew Plants of the World Online; its botanical name is also listed by the International Plant Names Index.

01 / Botanical cultivation

Start with the plant.

A defined botanical source is the starting point. Cultivation practices and field management help guide the development of suitable plant material.

Botanical harvesting and material selection for botanical ingredient development

02 / Selection

Select the material.

Harvesting and material-selection practices help determine which botanical material proceeds to the next stage.

02 — Processing & Evaluation

Processing and Analytical Evaluation

Processing and analytical evaluation help establish the identity and characteristics of botanical material before ingredient supply. Published research has examined Leptocarpha rivularis flower extracts; see the research article in Molecules.

Laboratory evaluation of botanical material using analytical equipment

  1. 01

    Process

    Apply the defined processing approach.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    Assess relevant material characteristics.

  3. 03

    Document

    Record applicable results and material information.

Low-temperature processing

Processing at or below 32°C, as specified for the relevant raw powder process.

Raw powder formulation

The raw powder version is produced without additives or flow agents, subject to confirmation of the current product specification.

03 — The Ingredient Journey

Botanical Ingredient Development Journey

The LEPTI-P40™ process brings together botanical selection, cultivation practices, harvesting, processing and scientific evaluation. Together, these steps create a documented path from plant source to ingredient for technical review by prospective partners.

  1. 01

    Botanical Source

    The process begins by identifying Leptocarpha rivularis as the botanical source.

  2. 02

    Botanical Cultivation and Selection

    Cultivation practices and selection of suitable plant material establish the starting point for subsequent processing.

  3. 03

    Processing and Evaluation

    Defined processing steps and relevant analytical methods help characterize the material for technical review.

  4. 04

    Ingredient Supply

    The resulting ingredient and its available technical information give prospective partners a starting point for assessing potential formulation and product opportunities.
