Is Prunus domestica Fruit sustainable?
This material is renewable, agricultural, and expected to be readily biodegradable. Its sustainability profile depends mostly on farming inputs, irrigation, drying or extraction energy, and responsible use of it processing streams.
Is Prunus domestica Fruit COSMOS-approved?
It is generally permitted in COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic products when the raw material, preservation, and processing methods meet the standard. It aligns well with Green Chemistry when minimally processed, water- or glycerin-extracted, and sourced from renewable agricultural feedstock.
How does Prunus domestica Fruit work chemically?
The material is a complex botanical matrix containing sugars such as sorbitol, organic acids, pectin, minerals, and phenolic compounds including chlorogenic-type acids and anthocyanins. Extracts are commonly used at low percentages, while powders may be used higher depending on texture, and the material is usually more stable in mildly acidic to neutral systems with protection from heat and oxidation.
