Advanced standard biological materials sourced and certified for international dietary formulations.
Resolving the Gut-Health Dilemma for Food Manufacturers and Clinical Nutrition Brands globally.
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a cornerstone of flavor systems across the global culinary, food processing, and nutraceutical industries. However, raw garlic and traditional garlic powder are characterized by exceptionally high concentrations of fructans, which are polymers of fructose molecules classified under the FODMAP umbrella (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols).
For roughly 15% of the global population suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), fructans bypass enzymic digestion in the small intestine. Instead, they travel directly to the colon, where rapid microbial fermentation generates excessive gas, osmotic water draw, visceral hypersensitivity, and intense gastrointestinal discomfort. Because of this, traditional garlic powder has historically been excluded from clinical therapeutic diets, including the low-FODMAP protocol.
With clinical evidence demonstrating the therapeutic efficacy of a low-FODMAP diet in reducing gut inflammation, international consumer demand for certified low-FODMAP food products has skyrocketed. This shift is driving functional food manufacturers and supplement brands to seek specialized, bulk Low-FODMAP Garlic Powder Suppliers. Our advanced extraction facilities bridge the gap, supplying high-potency ingredients that retain authentic garlic flavor and therapeutic properties (such as active organosulfur compounds like allicin, alliin, and diallyl disulfide) without the high-fructan load.
UniCare is a professional supplier of natural active ingredients. Our products are widely used in various fields such as dietary supplements, food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. We focus on product development and quality stability, and insist on growing together with our customers around the world.
UniCare has deep cooperation with several excellent Chinese manufacturers who have complete quality management system certifications, including but not limited to GMP, EUGMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP. Each factory has independent testing capabilities and is equipped with advanced and efficient testing equipment to ensure the high quality and long-term stability of each batch of products.

GACP cultivation bases to industrial finish.
Fusing green biotechnology with dynamic supply chains to support global health systems.
Proprietary processing, structural chemistry optimization, and next-generation FODMAP removal technologies.
Fructans are highly water-soluble polar polymers. Our process utilizes optimized food-grade polar solvents to selectively isolate and remove water-soluble oligosaccharides while retaining lipid-soluble organosulfur molecules. This step retains authentic garlic flavor without the high-fructan load.
Utilizing high-purity endo- and exo-inulinases and fructanases in our 20-ton fermentation bioreactors, we break down long-chain fructans into simple monosaccharides (fructose and glucose). This conversion preserves the gut-friendly status of the final powder, keeping it below standard IBS reaction thresholds.
Allicin is highly heat-sensitive and volatile. We utilize controlled low-temperature spray drying and vacuum dehydration technologies to dry the de-fructanized garlic matrix. This locks in raw garlic notes and retains standard organosulfur values.
Our research and development pipeline is exploring enzymatic degradation driven by synthetic biology. In partnership with institutions like the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, we are designing proprietary immobilized enzyme columns. This system aims to achieve continuous, green removal of fructans from raw garlic purée, significantly reducing processing costs and making low-FODMAP clean label ingredients more accessible for food and beverage formulations.
Unlocking raw material processing scales backed by smart and automated extraction lines.
UniCare attaches great importance to the hardware conditions of production equipment and has the largest and most advanced extraction factory in China. The entire production line in UniCare is controlled by a modern, intelligent, automatic control system.

How we leverage localized industrial advantages to provide globally cost-competitive gut health solutions.
Our Chinese factory networks leverage integrated chemical, raw material, and transport infrastructure. China produces over 70% of the world's raw garlic supply, particularly in provinces like Shandong, Henan, and Jiangsu. This proximity to farming bases allows us to secure raw garlic bulbs at stable costs, insulating our buyers from global commodity price spikes.
Furthermore, China's advanced transport systems enable rapid turnaround. Fresh raw garlic is harvested and processed within hours to prevent degradation of key organosulfur compounds. By leveraging automated extraction systems and local raw material supply chains, we maintain competitive production costs. This efficiency translates directly into cost savings for global dietary supplement and functional food manufacturers.
Direct relationships with farming cooperatives in Shandong ensure consistent supply and full traceability, from planting land to finished powder batches.
Proximity to major shipping hubs (such as Qingdao and Shanghai Ports) enables fast, efficient transit routes to North American, European, and Asia-Pacific markets.
Propelling product innovations and direct agricultural control to lower unit costs.
UniCare invests 10% of our annual net profit in research and development. In addition to optimizing and developing the existing natural plant extraction process, we have also established a professional R&D department for natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we aim to modernize traditional processes and support industry development.
UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and translating new raw materials for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and natural health products into mass-produced applications.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, we have established a robust raw material procurement system. This extends traceablity to every piece of planting land, ensuring transparent documentation for each batch of products. Raw materials are stored according to advanced quality management systems, strictly regulating moisture, ash, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and active ingredient content.
At the same time, UniCare cooperates with growers to establish dedicated ginkgo leaf, epimedium, phellodendron, and olive leaf planting bases, with select locations managed under GACP standards. We also partner with seedling research companies to develop high-content cultivars through selective breeding, helping to reduce unit costs for users.
