Deciphering the molecular pathways and stabilization matrices of organosulfur garlic derivatives.
Garlic’s biological efficacy is centered around its labile organosulfur fractions. The parent compound Alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide) is chemically stable but pharmacologically dormant. Upon enzymatic activation by Alliinase (initiated via cellular disruption or mechanical milling), Alliin rapidly transforms into Allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate).
Allicin is highly volatile and quickly degrades into various secondary organosulfur compounds, including diallyl sulfides (DADS, DATS) and vinyldithiins. To serve global formulations, our scientific roadmap focuses on stabilizing these elements through modern particle engineering.
By utilizing advanced microencapsulation (cyclodextrin/liposomal coating) and low-temperature spray drying, we protect volatile allicin molecules from environmental degradation. Additionally, we isolate S-Allyl-Cysteine (SAC), the highly stable water-soluble biomarker in aged garlic extract, ensuring consistent therapeutic results.
Milling raw cloves under controlled temperatures to activate alliinase, guaranteeing maximum conversion of Alliin to high-yield Allicin without heat-induced degradation.

Investing 10% of annual net profit back into chemical optimization, botany research, and fermentation technologies.
UniCare invest 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 the natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we try to break through the traditional processes and disrupt industry development.
UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and transforming the new raw materials of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health products into mass-produced products.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, a raw material procurement system has been established, which extends procurement to every piece of planting land and can trace the raw materials of each batch of products. The storage of raw materials is operated according to the advanced quality management system process, and the content of active ingredients, moisture, ash, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other items of raw materials are strictly controlled.
At the same time, in order to further ensure the high quality of important products, UniCare cooperated with planting farmers to establish ginkgo leaf planting bases, epimedium planting bases, phellodendron planting bases, olive leaf planting bases, etc. Some of these bases are planted strictly in accordance with the GACP management model. In addition, we cooperate with seedling research and development companies to develop high-content seedling cultivation, and cultivate better seedlings through hybridization or gene optimization, so as to continuously reduce unit costs to benefit users.

Addressing common procurement, technical, and regulatory questions from global QA and sourcing managers.
Garlic extracts are typically standardized to specific organosulfur markers depending on the application: Alliin (stable precursor), Allicin yield (the volatile active component), or S-Allyl-Cysteine (SAC) (water-soluble marker in aged garlic). Our laboratory uses high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to verify these concentrations, ensuring consistent bioactive levels in every batch.
Allicin is highly thermolabile and sensitive to environmental oxidation. To control degradation, we process raw garlic cloves using low-temperature extraction methods. The resulting extract is spray-dried with food-grade protective carriers or microencapsulated, protecting the active compounds from humidity, oxygen, and high heat during storage.
Yes, we offer specialized deodorized garlic extracts. These are processed through controlled enzymolysis or enteric coatings, neutralizing characteristic pungent odors while preserving therapeutic sulfur compounds like alliin and SAC. These formulations are ideal for premium dietary supplements and functional foods.
Every shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) matching our specification sheets. We also provide Allergen Statements, Non-GMO Declarations, MSDS, and BSE/TSE statements. For regulatory filing support, we supply CEP, GMP audit logs, and US FDA master documentation files upon request.
Our standard wholesale MOQ is 25kg (packaged in double-lined fiber drums). Lead times typically range from 7 to 15 days for in-stock standards, while custom grain-sizing or blending formulations may require up to 21 days for production and QA testing.
