High-purity botanical raw materials meticulously sourced and certified to meet stringent EU specifications.
The Berlin metropolitan region has established itself as the leading innovation hub for plant-based nutrition, dietary supplements, and natural cosmetics in Central Europe. Characterized by a dense ecosystem of functional food startups, boutique wellness brands, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) health companies, Berlin drives a significant share of Europe's plant extract imports. Consumers in this region demand products that adhere strictly to clean-label standards: non-GMO, carrier-free, organic-certified, and free from synthetic additives.
For procurement officers in Berlin, securing a dependable, large-scale supply chain from a certified blueberry powder factory is paramount. Blueberry powder, particularly prized for its high concentration of active anthocyanins, polyphenols, and antioxidant capabilities, is widely utilized in powdered drink mixes, breakfast bowls, vegan protein formulations, and anti-aging skincare products. Our manufacturing framework is optimized specifically to fulfill these precise European specifications, providing custom mesh sizes, high solubility options, and verified laboratory testing results.
Anthocyanins represent the benchmark phytochemical class within blueberry extracts. Renowned for their support of microcirculation, cardiovascular integrity, and ocular health, they are highly sought-after in Germany’s aging demographic market. Our standardized processes guarantee consistent levels of active anthocyanins across all product batches.
Bridging the gap between agricultural raw materials and high-purity industrial extracts via advanced technological scaling.
On a global scale, the blueberry processing sector is expanding rapidly, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 6.8% through 2030. To satisfy this soaring demand, food manufacturers are increasingly shifting from raw agricultural inputs to standardized extract powders. While local European agricultural yields are limited and highly seasonal, Chinese extraction facilities offer year-round production stability, large-scale processing, and optimized cost structures.
Our extraction facilities in China leverage state-of-the-art intelligent processing lines. We process fresh, high-quality berries at their source, employing gentle concentration and state-of-the-art spray drying or freeze-drying technologies. By combining geographic cost-efficiency, continuous countercurrent extraction technology, and advanced purification protocols, we provide European brands with premium botanical extracts at competitive wholesale prices, enabling them to maximize profit margins without sacrificing product quality.

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 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.
