Discover our highly standardized, pharmacopoeia-compliant active botanical extracts designed for pharmaceuticals, food beverages, and dietary supplements.
As global demand for clean-label, plant-based functional ingredients continues to surge, Dragon Fruit (Pitaya) has transition from an exotic fruit to a vital raw material for the wellness, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries. Dragon Fruit cultivars from China, particularly the high-betalain red pitaya (Hylocereus costaricensis), are prized globally for their intense nutritional density, strong antioxidant profiles, and vivid natural coloring capacity.
By pairing local agricultural mastery with advanced extraction technologies, Chinese manufacturers have established an efficient, high-yield supply chain. We optimize every link of this process—from soil analysis and GACP-compliant cultivation to low-temperature spray-drying and state-of-the-art freeze-drying. This ensures that the delicate natural compounds—such as betacyanins, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and essential fatty acids—are preserved at their maximum bio-activity, offering superior information gain and value for industrial buyers.
Discover how advanced factory infrastructure and smart agriculture combine to deliver world-class botanical powders.
Our extraction lines utilize proprietary low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying (FD) technology, ensuring thermal-sensitive betalains and vitamin C complexes remain intact without degradation.
We work hand-in-hand with local farmers using hybrid seedling selection and strict biological pest control methods, minimizing heavy metal and chemical runoff from the ground up.
Operations are managed through intelligent, automatic control systems. From washing, pulp extraction, filtration to concentration and packing, human contact is eliminated to ensure sterile conditions.
Every single batch of Dragon Fruit powder and extract undergoes chromatographic quantification to verify high concentration levels of key active markers (such as polyphenols and mucilage).
"Our advanced integration of agricultural intelligence and state-of-the-art extraction machinery ensures that industrial buyers receive dragon fruit products with unparalleled solubility, vibrant natural pigments, and stable active ingredient profiles."
UniCare attaches great importance to the hardware conditions of production equipment and operates one of the largest and most advanced extraction networks in China. The entire production line in UniCare is controlled by a modern, intelligent, automatic control system. Until now, UniCare and its manufacturing partners have built up two GMP workshops, containing six multi-functional extraction lines.
China GMP Certification: The manufacturing facility has passed rigorous national GMP inspections, establishing absolute compliance for pharmaceutical and food-grade operations.
Six Specialized Production Lines: Includes three annular dynamic countercurrent extraction lines (10 tons & 15 tons); two multi-functional extraction lines (32 extraction tanks with six cubic meters each); and one round dynamic countercurrent extraction line (10 tons).
EU-GMP & CEP Authenticated Extraction: We run specialized processes including the only acetone process extraction line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract in China that meets the EU GMP standards.
Fermentation & Biotechnology Capabilities: Equipped with six fermentation tanks (20 tons capacity for each) dedicated to the manufacturing of high-value enzyme-modified products.
We deliver specialized raw materials optimized for the functional requirements of multiple industries worldwide.
Perfect for natural color stabilization, instant juice powders, functional mocktails, and clean-label bakery products. Our powders dissolve instantly without clumping or sediment formation.
Red pitaya betalains serve as highly effective, non-toxic natural colorants and anti-aging agents. Perfect for clean-beauty face masks, lip balms, serums, and body scrubs.
Formulated for gut-health capsules, prebiotic powder mixes, and antioxidant tablets. Rich in natural dietary fiber and polyphenols that promote optimal digestion.
Our partners maintain comprehensive quality management systems certified to GMP, EUGMP, CEP, ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP standards.
United New Life and UniCare have established a leading quality control infrastructure, strictly managing product purity, active content, and chemical safety. Our central analytical laboratory is qualified by CNAS and features advanced instrumentation to execute robust batch validation.
Detectable Safety & Identity Markers: We perform routine and advanced screening including HPLC/UV assay validation, GC solvent residue analysis, GC-MS-MS organochlorine pesticide screening, ICP-MS heavy metal profiling (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper), moisture assays, microbiological limit testing, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and bulk density analysis.
