Formulation Considerations

SaponAID® Agro-Industrial Quillaja Extract Powder 20 contains naturally occurring saponins known for their surface-active properties. These characteristics make it a popular formulation ingredient in natural surfactants and organic agricultural blends.

Although Garuda makes no specific claims about the ingredient’s biological activity, it may be evaluated in product systems intended to:

Improve the physical characteristics of soil or growing media

Enhance distribution and solubility of nutrients in foliar and root-zone
applications

Serve as a component in formulations supporting beneficial microbial
environments in soil

As an inert ingredient, Quillaja extract may also aid in the spreading, sticking, and absorption of agrochemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

Garuda's SaponAID® Agro-Industrial Quillaja Extract Powder 20 has a shelf life in excess of four years without loss of surfactant/wetting agent properties or product integrity without any preservatives.

SaponAID® Agro-Industrial Quillaja Extract Powder 20 is packaged in 20 kg polyethylene-lined cardboard boxes or fiber drums to support bulk commercial use and maintain product integrity.

These benefits are based on the ingredient’s composition and physical properties. All claims related to end-use performance must be substantiated by the final product manufacturer.

All advantages listed are related to the ingredient’s form, origin, and potential use in formulation—not the performance or efficacy of any end-use product.

All end-use product performance should be validated by the formulator based on testing and intended application.
