Premium plant extracts standardized to meet the rigorous quality control and efficacy criteria of industrial formulations in the US market.
The tri-state area has emerged as the epicentre of North American clean-label functional food innovation. Today's consumer trends in metropolitan hubs demand botanical integrity, absolute traceabilty, and native nutrient preservation. In response, premium manufacturers are phasing out synthetic additives and turning to standardized fruit powders like Litchi (Lychee) Powder to drive product development.
Litchi powder, containing highly concentrated levels of Vitamin C, polyphenols (oligopin-type molecules), and bio-flavanoids, provides an excellent foundation for ready-to-mix (RTM) formulations, functional craft sodas, and active skincare bases. As a direct exporter supplying the New York corridor, UniCare integrates global farm-to-dock supply lines to deliver industrial-grade volumes tailored to complex local regulatory requirements.
Strategic maritime and air import routes via the Port of New York & New Jersey and JFK Cargo terminals ensure minimal lead times.
Our raw materials align perfectly with Non-GMO, Organic, and clean-label standards demanded by modern retail chains.
Global commodity markets face intense challenges with harvest yield variations, logistics blockades, and adulteration. UniCare guarantees raw material supply security by operating a comprehensive, vertically integrated supply chain. We maintain direct agricultural oversight of our primary cultivation partners, utilizing GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices) guidelines to govern irrigation, soil quality, and pesticide thresholds.
By executing localized quality assurance checks before raw materials enter our extraction lines, we protect against heavy metal bioaccumulation and chemical drift. This strategic buffer capacity allows us to absorb global raw material shocks, stabilizing supply volumes and unit costs for industrial buyers in the New York market.

Our core operating values prioritize cutting-edge technology, rigorous manufacturing controls, and long-term economic transparency.
We discover and unlock new bioactive molecules and value-added properties in natural herbs and traditional crops.
Consistently investing in advanced extraction, filtration, and bio-fermentation methods to keep products ahead of market curves.
We deploy modern automation and clean extraction technology to scale batch outputs without compromising consistency.
Creating sustainable employment structures, supporting regional growers, and sharing prosperity with local communities.
UniCare operates the largest and most advanced extraction facility in our operational market. The entire production line is controlled by an intelligent, automated digital network that continuously regulates temperatures, flow rates, and concentration steps to preserve thermo-sensitive active compounds.
We operate two certified GMP workshops containing six multi-functional extraction lines. Our facility stands out as the operator of China's only acetone process extraction line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract that meets strict European standards (EU-GMP & CEP). The facility handles a raw processing capacity of over 30,000 tons of botanical input annually.
Includes three annular dynamic countercurrent systems (10/15 ton capacity) and 32 large multifunctional tanks.
Six specialized 20-ton fermentation tanks built for enzyme-modified products and targeted cell disruption.
From micro-brewery craft beverages to clean cosmetics formulations, understand how our technical parameters map to key industrial uses.
1. Premium Craft Beverages & RTD Mocktails: With NY’s thriving sober-curious mocktail sector, Litchi Powder provides instant, sediment-free solubility. It offers high visual transparency, natural sweetness, and a pleasant, stable tropical aroma that survives high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurisation.
2. Nutraceutical Mixes & Pre-Workouts: The active fruit matrix contains natural electrolytes, dynamic Vitamin C complexes, and energy-metabolism co-factors. Standardized fruit solids easily mask the astringency of branch-chained amino acids and botanicals.
3. Bio-Active Skincare & Cosmetics: Litchi contains oligonol, a low-molecular-weight polyphenol that shows excellent skin-bioavailability. It targets oxidative stressors and acts as an anti-glycation agent in topical formulations.

Our analytical facility is CNAS-accredited, ensuring that every batch shipped to New York conforms to regional USP, AOAC, and FDA requirements.
Our Quality Management system provides 100% traceabilty. We operate an extensive suite of analytical equipment, conducting active ingredient quantification (HPLC & UV), residual organic solvent assays (GC), pesticide screenings (GC-MS-MS), and elemental analyses via ICP-MS.
Our central laboratory acts as the primary defense against batch instability, analyzing botanical identity through TLC and moisture parameters via halogen drying instrumentation. When batches reach customers in the New York market, they arrive with comprehensive COAs, complete heavy metal profiles, and microbiological clearance records.
High-resolution liquid chromatography for exact compound determination and tracking degradation kinetics.
Quantifying volatile compounds and ensuring residual extraction solvents fall well below standard PPM limits.
We reinvest 10% of our annual net profit in scientific R&D, collaborating with top-tier research institutes to optimize extraction yield and stability.
Our dedicated biotechnology division focuses on natural fermentation systems. By working closely with Beijing University of Chemical Technology, we explore active compound modifications to maximize absorption and bio-availability.
We work closely with local farmers to establish structured crop cultivation bases. Using selective hybridization and rigorous GACP compliance, we optimize content levels, stabilize crop yields, and control production costs.
Our long-term R&D roadmap targets the formulation challenges of functional food designers. By utilizing advanced nano-encapsulation techniques, we seek to wrap thermo-sensitive nutrients like ascorbic acid and polyphenols in protective, food-grade lipid layers. This shield prevents early oxidation in pasteurized beverages, extending shelf life under ambient New York warehouse conditions.
Additionally, we are exploring green extraction methods using subcritical water systems. This approach eliminates organic solvents, creating a clean-label product that meets the demand for chemical-free processing in health-conscious consumer markets.

Fruit powders are naturally hygroscopic due to natural sugars. We control caking by optimizing moisture levels to below 5% and utilizing dry-room filling. To maintain stability, we ship our products in hermetically sealed multi-layer foil bags packed in high-density fiber drums. We can also add organic carrier matrices (such as non-GMO tapioca maltodextrin) to meet specific flowability needs.
Our powder is spray-dried with optimized particle distribution, showing over 98% solubility in room temperature water (20°C) within 60 seconds of gentle agitation. The formulation remains free of grittiness and micro-precipitates, making it suitable for functional teas and transparent beverage applications.
Each batch is analyzed in our CNAS-certified central lab using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). We ensure heavy metal concentrations (lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury) remain well below USP <2232> limits. Standardized COAs detailing these results are provided with every shipment.
For standard inventory runs, we can dispatch from our central port warehouses within 7-10 working days. Custom packaging, special carrier treatments, or custom extract specifications generally require 3 to 5 weeks for processing, quality assurance clearance, and booking on direct maritime routes.
