Standardized natural extracts produced in our state-of-the-art facilities, tailored for global food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations.
As global clean-label trends shape the future of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and functional foods, sourcing raw biological materials with high enzymatic activity and bio-active stability has become paramount. Pineapple extracts—specifically raw pineapple powders and concentrated Bromelain enzymes—serve as a cornerstone in therapeutic and manufacturing processes.
In this whitepaper, we dissect the manufacturing ecosystem of China’s leading extraction hubs. By exploring raw planting methods, enzymatic isolation through high-performance technologies, and complex molecular controls, procurement managers can optimize their supply chain and secure premium-grade raw ingredients with unparalleled quality consistency.
Our processes preserve Bromelain activity up to 2400 GDU/g or 3000 GDU/g, maximizing efficacy in digestive, anti-inflammatory, and baking applications.

Why global enterprises choose Chinese manufacturing corridors for their bulk pineapple and plant extract operations.
Southern parts of China, including Hainan Island, Guangdong, and Yunnan provinces, constitute vast sub-tropical zones that generate high-yield, premium pineapple varieties. This direct proximity to agriculture corridors guarantees minimal raw material transit times, ensuring that freshly harvested pineapples are processed while active proteolytic enzyme levels (Bromelain) are at their peak.
Unlike traditional regions where extraction remains a boutique process, China’s industrial extraction zones feature fully automated, multi-ton dynamic extraction plants. Industrial consolidation allows manufacturers to leverage massive processing economies of scale. High automation levels dramatically reduce energy footprints and labor costs, passing the financial advantages directly to bulk wholesale buyers.

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 try to break through 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 new raw materials for 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.
Pineapple extract (Bromelain) and botanical active ingredients represent multi-billion dollar markets across diverse industrial sectors.
Bromelain is highly regarded for its systemic anti-inflammatory, mucolytic, and protein-digesting properties. Formulators frequently pair it with Quercetin or Rutin to create potent vascular, joint, and immune support capsules.
Due to its gentle enzymatic exfoliating actions, pineapple-derived enzyme powder is widely utilized in natural facial scrubs, enzymatic skin peels, and skin-clearing serums, replacing harsh synthetic chemical acids.
In food science, bulk Bromelain is highly valued as a premium natural meat tenderizer. Additionally, it helps modify gluten strength in baking operations, ensuring optimal texture and uniform shapes in biscuit and cracker production.
