Luxembourg represents a premium, high-demanding hub for dietary supplements and functional food solutions within the European Union. Supported by a sophisticated consumer demographic and a strict regulatory framework oversaw by the Ministry of Health and ALIA (Luxembourg Agency for Food Safety), manufacturers in the region require more than just raw materials—they seek validated botanical active ingredients with high bioavailability and reliable certificates of analysis.
As the premium ingredient partner, UniCare bridges the gap between state-of-the-art Chinese manufacturing capability and the exact needs of Luxembourgish brand developers, laboratories, and food technologists. From clean-label organic blueberry juice powder to highly standardized extract configurations rich in active anthocyanins, we serve as the strategic supply chain partner for European buyers.
UniCare is a professional supplier of natural active ingredients. Our products are widely used in various fields such as dietary supplement, food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. We focus on product development and quality stability, and insist on growing together with our customers around the world.
Highly sought-after botanical raw materials optimized for the European and Luxembourg clean-label wellness markets.
Aligning with European manufacturing benchmarks, advanced processing methods, and functional properties.
Developing high-efficacy nutraceuticals in Luxembourg demands a clear understanding of phytochemical stability. The biological benefits of blueberry powder depend on its rich anthocyanin profile, which is highly vulnerable to degradation from heat, light, and oxidation. To maintain optimal bio-activity, our partners apply a strict processing roadmap:
For brands located in Bettembourg, Clervaux, or Luxembourg City, our plant-derived powders are designed to solve critical technical challenges:
Driving continuous industrial evolution by merging natural traditions with futuristic production capabilities.
Maximizing the bioavailability of plant compounds to deliver proven, natural health benefits.
Investing heavily in advanced separation technologies and clean-label refinement processes.
Utilizing high-end analytical equipment to guarantee long-term stability and product purity.
Securing sustainable supply chains that protect bio-diversity and benefit local farming partners.
Ensuring supply chain security for Luxembourg buyers requires raw material suppliers with scale, cutting-edge technology, and clean energy standards. Our advanced extraction facilities in China feature fully automated control networks that maintain tight control over process variables such as temperature, pressure, and extraction time.
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. Until now, UniCare has built up two GMP workshops, containing six multi-functional extraction lines, among which there is the only production line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract of acetone process in the whole China. Here are several other production lines including fermentation production lines and Chinese medicine pieces. A total of 30,000 tons of various Chinese medicine plant raw materials can be processed each year.
| Production Standard | Infrastructure Details |
|---|---|
| Manufacturing Certifications | EUGMP, CEP, GMP, ISO9001, ISO22000, HACCP Approved Plant. |
| Extraction Lines | 6 multi-functional extraction lines including 3 annular dynamic countercurrent extraction lines (10 & 15 tons capacity). |
| Fermentation Capacity | 6 modern fermentation tanks (20 tons capacity each) engineered for enzyme-modified bio-actives. |
| Annual Capacity | Processing capability exceeding 30,000 metric tons of herbal and fruit raw materials. |
Every batch of blueberry powder and botanical extract undergoes strict testing to meet EU standards for safety, purity, and active ingredients.
UniCare has established a leading and complete quality control system, and strictly controls the high quality of products in accordance with the quality system. With advanced testing instruments and strict control of product quality, we provide every customer with high quality products. Detectable items include: Signature component detection (HPLC or UV), solvent residues (GC), pesticide residues (GC-MS-MS organochlorine detection), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper) by ICP-MS, microscopic identification, moisture, dry weight loss, ash, microbial limits, thin layer identification, weighing, conductivity, pH, and sulfur dioxide residues.
| Quality Assurance Category | Testing Parameters & Control Specifications |
|---|---|
| Active Ingredient Analysis | Assay testing, peak area comparison, chemical identification using high-performance liquid chromatography. |
| Hazardous Substance Analysis | Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium), pesticide residue screening, residual solvent profiling. |
| Microbe Analysis | Total aerobic microbial count (TAMC), total yeasts and molds count (TYMC), E. coli, Salmonella, and specific pathogens. |
| Raw Material Control | Traceability validation, allergy screening, GMO verification, and geographical origin identification. |
| Laws & Regulations Confirmation | Continuous monitoring of European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) guidance and Luxembourg's national health directives. |
| Stability Test | Accelerated and long-term stability testing in compliance with ICH guidelines to guarantee shelf life. |
Our analytical capacity is supported by an in-house, CNAS-accredited laboratory. By operating high-performance testing instruments, we ensure our botanical extracts meet strict global standards before dispatch:
Annual Raw Material Processing
Net Profit Reinvested in R&D
EU & GMP Quality Compliance
Accredited Testing Laboratory
Investing in green science and raw material traceability to protect active nutrients and reduce environmental impact.
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.
We work in close cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, developing and scaling new raw materials for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and health supplement markets.
To control raw materials efficiently, our procurement system extends directly to our agricultural partner lands, providing full traceability for each batch of products. We manage raw material storage in line with strict quality standards, monitoring active ingredient content, moisture, ash, heavy metals, and pesticide residues.
To ensure consistent quality, UniCare partners with local growers to establish dedicated cultivation bases for key ingredients, including ginkgo biloba, epimedium, phellodendron, and olive leaf. Many of these bases operate under GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practice) guidelines. We also collaborate with agricultural research institutions to cultivate high-yield crop variants, helping us manage unit costs and benefit our customers.

Answers to common regulatory, logistical, and technical questions from buyers in Luxembourg and the EU.
We work closely with EU compliance experts. Our production processes adhere to EU Food Safety Standards (EFSA). Every batch is tested for pesticide residues, heavy metals, and micro-contaminants to ensure safe entry into Luxembourg and the wider EU market.
We offer both spray-dried and freeze-dried (lyophilized) wild blueberry powder. Spray drying is ideal for high-solubility beverage applications, while freeze drying preserves the complete anthocyanin structure and sensory profile, making it perfect for clean-label supplements.
Yes. Our processing lines can adjust particle sizes (from 80 mesh up to 120 mesh) to suit your specific manufacturing setup, whether you are tableting, encapsulating, or blending powders.
For standard stocked items, air freight transit to Luxembourg Airport (LUX) takes 5 to 7 business days. For larger bulk orders sent by ocean freight, delivery to central transport hubs like Bettembourg takes approximately 35 to 40 days.
Every shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing active ingredient assay, heavy metals, microbial assays, and pesticide clearances. We also provide Allergen Statements, GMO Declarations, MSDS, and relevant quality certificates upon request.
