FAQ pour les acheteurs OEM

Q. What is the typical MOQ and lead time for shiso extract?

Supplier-disclosed industry ranges are typically 10–30 kg with 4–8 week lead times. Harvest is concentrated in July–September, but extract producers typically work from stored or frozen feedstock to maintain year-round supply. For brands wanting fresh-season material with declared harvest date, RFQ should be placed by spring of the target year.

Q. Can buyers specify rosmarinic acid content on the COA?

Yes. Reputable Japanese herb extract producers will standardize Perilla frutescens leaf extract to a specified rosmarinic acid content using HPLC, with batch-level COA reporting. Standardized extracts carry a price premium versus generic 'shiso extract.' For functional positioning that references the rosmarinic acid clinical literature, standardized material is generally required for credible claims-substantiation.

Q. Are organic shiso and Aichi-origin material available?

Aichi Prefecture is one of Japan's leading commercial shiso production areas, supplying both green and red varieties; Tottori and Nagano are secondary regions. Organic JAS-certified shiso is produced in limited volume by specialty growers and contract herb farms, with chain-of-custody documentation through the extract producer. Confirm certification scope (raw leaf vs finished extract) at RFQ.
