Highly standardized plant actives designed to meet the strict quality thresholds of Swiss laboratories and food scientists.
Switzerland stands at the global pinnacle of pharmaceutical innovation and preventive medicine. With leading regulatory authorities like Swissmedic and the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) enforcing rigorous compliance frameworks, Swiss food technology and dietary supplement companies require plant extracts of unprecedented purity.
Mulberry leaf powder (standardized to 1-Deoxynojirimycin / 1-DNJ) has gained substantial traction across the Zurich, Basel, and Geneva bio-industrial hubs. The active compound, a powerful alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, plays an essential role in modern blood glucose management formulations, healthy aging profiles, and metabolic support products.
As a leading exporter, we provide Swiss enterprises with highly stable, non-GMO, and pesticide-free Mulberry Powder that effortlessly complies with EU and Swiss food additive regulations. Our direct supply chains circumvent intermediate markup, providing an optimized price-to-active-ingredient ratio.
"The integration of functional botanicals into Swiss consumer goods relies on molecular consistency. Our Mulberry Leaf extract guarantees analytical traceability from plantation soil properties to the final spray-dried particle."
How we address the complex purchasing requirements of transnational brands and Swiss bio-distributors.
Challenge: Degraded 1-DNJ concentration during shipment and warehouse storage.
Solution: Advanced spray-drying technology and barrier-foil packaging prevent atmospheric moisture penetration, retaining 100% active integrity for up to 36 months.
Challenge: Heavy metals, PAHs, and pesticide residues failing Swiss veterinary and food safety checks.
Solution: Every batch undergoes ICP-MS heavy metal validation and GC-MS-MS multi-residue pesticide screening in our CNAS-qualified laboratory.
Challenge: Fragmented supply chains with unverified raw material origins.
Solution: Vertically integrated cultivation bases adhering to Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) with digital batch tracking.

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.
Strict molecular verification processes using world-class analytical technology to meet Swiss requirements.
United New Life (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, strict control of product quality, to provide every customer with high quality products.
Detectable Parameters Include: Signature component detection (HPLC or UV), solvent residues (GC), pesticide residues (organochlorine detection GC-MS-MS), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper by ICP-MS), microscopic identification, moisture, dry weight loss, ash, microbial limits, thin layer chromatography (TLC) identification, density, conductivity, pH, and sulfur dioxide residue.
Our analytical labs are equipped with high-performance instrumentation to resolve any issues of purity or batch variation:
| Quality Control Segment | Specific Testing Items & Methodologies |
|---|---|
| Active Ingredient Analysis | Quantitative Assay (HPLC, UV), structural identification (TLC, HPTLC). |
| Hazardous Substance Analysis | Heavy metals analysis via ICP-MS, pesticide screening, organic solvent residue check by headspace Gas Chromatography. |
| Microbe Analysis | Total viable aerobic count, Escherichia coli, Yeast & mould limits, Salmonella detection, and specific pathogen profiling. |
| Raw Material Control | Source farm chemical footprint checking, GMO verification, allergen checking, botanical identification. |
| Stability Validation | Real-time and accelerated shelf-life studies in climate-controlled chambers to match Swiss climate zones. |
| Physical Characteristics | pH value, moisture percentage, ash content, optical rotation, bulk/tapped density, particle size analysis. |
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 the traditional processes and disrupt industry development.
UniCare has deep cooperation with the 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.
How our extraction facilities are evolving to match tomorrow's biotechnology trends.
We are shifting our primary extraction phases toward subcritical water extraction and supercritical carbon dioxide methods. This process completely eliminates organic solvents (like ethanol, acetone, or hexane) from the final Mulberry Powder matrix, helping Swiss manufacturers claim clean-label declarations.
Using target-specific enzymes during the extraction phase allows us to release bound 1-DNJ molecules from the cellulose matrix of the mulberry leaves. This technological improvement enhances active yield and increases natural solubility in hot and cold aqueous formulations.
By 2028, all our contracted agricultural sites will follow strict carbon-neutral frameworks. We are integrating solar-driven drying systems at the harvesting site, lowering the transport weight carbon footprint before shipping materials to our main extraction units.
Ensuring hassle-free customs clearance and direct alignment with local Swiss standards.
Entering the Swiss market demands rigorous documentation. The Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) regulates plant-derived extracts under tight food classification guidelines. Here is how we guarantee compliance:
