Plant Extract Supplier Shortlist Criteria
Shortlist plant extract suppliers by document clarity, sample support and commercial fit, not by broad ingredient names alone.
Comparison Criteria
Plant extract sourcing should start with the buyer's target application and internal quality requirements. A useful shortlist connects specification fields with sample behavior and supplier response quality.
| Criterion | Practical Signal |
|---|---|
| Specification clarity | Botanical source, plant part, extract ratio or marker, assay method and physical properties are stated clearly. |
| COA readiness | Representative or current COA can be reviewed with lot number, limits and test results. |
| Sample support | Supplier can match sample size, application notes and document package before quotation. |
| Commercial fit | MOQ, packing, lead time, repeat order planning and destination needs are discussed early. |
