Shaanxi Lingkong Times Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese plant extract manufacturer with 10+ years of experience in the industry. Our factory delivers a full vertical chain for Astragalus — from raw root sourcing and crude powder to standardized extract and finished-product OEM/ODM manufacturing. We serve nutraceutical, food & beverage, and cosmetic brand buyers worldwide with bulk orders and custom specifications.
Full vertical chain in-house: raw root → crude powder → standardized extract → finished dosage, handled by one supplier to reduce lead time and quality risk.
Stable capacity: extraction line processes several tons of raw material per day; spray dryer capacity is matched for continuous runs.
Export-ready documentation: COA, MSDS, specification sheets, third-party lab reports (SGS / Intertek), and customs paperwork provided per destination market.
Flexible MOQ: 25 kg for standard specifications; OEM/ODM units evaluated by dosage format and labeling requirements.
Certifications available: ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, Organic (EU / NOP), SC / FSMA compliance support.
Our Astragalus roots are sourced from established GAP cultivation bases, primarily Gansu Longxi, Inner Mongolia Guyuan, and Northern Shaanxi (Yulin) — regions recognized for the long-standing production of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge and A. membranaceus var. mongholicus (Bunge) Hsiao dry roots.
Incoming raw material is screened through three checkpoints:
Origin verification: long-term partner farms with full traceability records.
Visual grading: removal of insect damage, mold, hollow hearts, and over-ligneous sections.
Pre-acceptance analysis: water content, total ash, and sulfur dioxide residue tested before release to the production line.
For buyers who require raw powder as part of a formula base, our dedicated low-temperature milling workshop operates under 25 °C to protect heat-sensitive components.
Particle size: 60–200 mesh, customizable per order.
Contact surface: stainless steel throughout.
Packaging: food-grade PE inner bag with optional aluminum foil or fiber drum outer layer.
Two main production routes cover the most common buyer requirements:
Process | Standard Specifications | Process Highlights |
Water extraction → alcohol precipitation → concentration → spray drying | Astragalus Polysaccharides 10% / 20% / 30% / 50% | Extraction 80–90 °C; concentrate specific gravity 1.05–1.10; spray inlet 180 °C |
Alcohol extraction → resin purification → concentration → drying | Astragaloside IV 0.3% / 1% / 2% / 5% / 10% | Gradient ethanol elution; vacuum concentration; vacuum drying or spray granulation |
Custom specifications (e.g., Astragaloside IV 98% monomer, or atypical ratios) are evaluated on a project basis.
In-house laboratory equipment: HPLC, UV, GC, TLC, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and microbiological workstations. Every batch of finished extract is released against the following reference limits:
Moisture: ≤ 5%
Ash: ≤ 8%
Heavy metals: total ≤ 10 ppm (Pb ≤ 2, As ≤ 1, Hg ≤ 0.1, Cd ≤ 1)
Pesticide residues & microbiology: per USP, EP, ChP, or buyer-specified standard
Residual solvents: compliant with ICH Q3C and destination-market regulations
Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA). Third-party re-testing at SGS, Intertek, or a buyer-designated lab is welcome. Retained samples are kept for a minimum of 24 months.
Our dosage-form workshop supports a wide range of finished formats:
Dosage formats: granules, powders, tablets, capsules, sachets, instant drink concentrates.
Packaging: aluminum foil bags, cartons, HDPE bottles, glass bottles, tinplate cans; private label and neutral packing supported.
Documents: formula sheet, process description, COA, MSDS, customs paperwork, label artwork files.
MOQ: standard specifications from 25 kg; finished OEM units evaluated case by case.
Long-term shipments to North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Familiar with destination-side compliance including:
EU: Novel Food registration support, organic certification (EU 2018/848), EFSA-compliant labeling.
USA: FSVP / FSMA documentation, GRAS documentation support where applicable.
Southeast Asia & Middle East: Halal, Kosher, and local registration documentation.
Shipping: FOB, CIF, DDP by sea, air, or courier; sample shipment in 5–7 working days; bulk orders 7–10 days for standard specs, 15–25 days for custom specs.
