Available technical documentation may include:

• Batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA)
• Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
• Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
• Product specifications and testing methods
• Selected analytical and quality reports

Documentation availability depends on the ingredient, product grade and current batch.For regulated applications, additional qualification requirements can be reviewed before commercial supply.

Depending on the ingredient and specification, analytical verification may involve:

• HPLC / HPLC-DAD for selected active compounds
• GC-based methods for applicable substances
• LC-MS for selected identity investigations
• ICP-MS for elemental impurities
• Microbiological quality testing
• Additional identity methods when required

Testing methods, laboratories and acceptance criteria are confirmed according to the actual product specification and project.Not every method is applicable to every material.

Shelf life and quality consistency are evaluated on a product-specific basis.Relevant parameters may include active compound content, moisture, water activity, microbiological quality, physical appearance and other applicable quality indicators.Stability data, packaging requirements and recommended storage conditions depend on the material and grade.A fixed shelf life cannot be assumed for all botanical extracts or functional ingredients.

We can review applicable product quality requirements and available supporting documentation for selected destination markets.For example, EU food ingredient assessments may involve relevant requirements under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for pesticide residues and Regulation (EU) 2023/915 for certain contaminants, where applicable.Non-GMO status, allergen information, certification scope and other declarations must be verified for the specific material.Final regulatory suitability depends on the ingredient, intended use, destination market and customer requirements.

Whole fruit powder generally contains more of the original fruit matrix, which may include pulp, fiber and naturally occurring insoluble components.Fruit juice powder is generally manufactured from juice or juice concentrate, commonly using drying aids or carriers where needed.Depending on formulation and processing, juice powders may provide better dispersibility for beverage applications.However, complete dissolution, clarity and sedimentation performance cannot be assumed without formulation testing.

Ingredient selection depends on the finished product and manufacturing process.Important evaluation factors include:

• Solubility and dispersibility
• Particle size and physical stability
• Processing temperature
• pH compatibility
• Carrier composition
• Active ingredient stability
• Appearance, flavor and sensory impact

Freeze-dried and spray-dried ingredients offer different technical advantages.The most suitable option should be selected through application-specific testing rather than a universal processing rule.

Yes. We can evaluate customized ingredient specifications and selected OEM/ODM projects.Potential services include:

• Customized active compound specifications
• Particle-size adjustment
• Selected ingredient blends
• Application-specific formulation support
• Feasibility assessment for finished dosage forms

Project acceptance depends on technical feasibility, manufacturing arrangements, required volume and applicable quality or regulatory requirements.

Yes. Evaluation samples are available for selected ingredients.Sample sizes, availability, costs and international freight depend on the material and destination.Where available, samples may be supplied with batch-specific COAs or relevant technical specifications.Please provide your target grade, application and destination country when requesting a sample.

The minimum order quantity depends on the ingredient, grade and availability.Selected materials may be available from 1 kg for initial procurement or qualification.Standard commercial packaging commonly includes 25 kg drums or cartons, with protective inner packaging selected according to the product.Customized packing and larger commercial volumes can be discussed during quotation.

Lead times depend on current stock, required specification, order volume and manufacturing schedule.For selected in-stock ingredients, dispatch may be arranged within 3-7 business days after order and payment confirmation.Depending on the product and destination, available shipping terms may include FOB, CIF, DAP and DDP.Freight costs, import requirements, customs procedures and estimated delivery times are confirmed during the quotation process.Customs clearance and final delivery dates cannot be guaranteed universally.
