Standardized extracts prepared under stringent quality protocols, catering to food, beverage, and nutritional industries worldwide.
Pomegranate peel (pericarp) represents a substantial industrial byproduct of juice processing, containing up to 3 times more polyphenolic compounds than the pulp itself. As a premier manufacturer, our standardizations target the primary bioactive fraction: Ellagitannins (primarily Punicalagins A & B and Ellagic Acid).
Punicalagins are large water-soluble polyphenols unique to pomegranate, displaying highly potent antioxidant profiles. During raw pericarp preparation, strict temperature and enzymatic parameters must be maintained. High-temperature conditions risk the hydrolysis of these macromolecules into monomeric ellagic acid, which reduces water solubility.
We combine traditional hydro-ethanolic extraction with Green Subcritical Water Extraction (SWE) technology. SWE uses water under high pressure at temperatures between 100°C and 220°C, lowering its dielectric constant to match organic solvents. This process yields cleaner extracts free of toxic residual solvents.
Standardizing key active markers guarantees the thermodynamic stability of the extract in dry powder systems. Liquid chromatography (HPLC) testing profiles confirm that our standardizations of 20%, 30%, and 40% Punicalagins preserve their isomer balance over a 36-month shelf life.
| Extraction Parameter | Conventional Hydro-Ethanolic Refinement | Advanced Subcritical Water Extraction (SWE) | Supercritical CO₂ Extraction (With Cosolvent) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active Target Purity (Punicalagins) | 10% - 30% HPLC | Up to 50% HPLC | 35% - 40% HPLC |
| Extraction Duration | 4 - 8 Hours per batch | 30 - 90 Minutes | 2 - 4 Hours |
| Solvent Recovery | Requires vacuum evaporation | Zero organic solvent usage | Spontaneous phase isolation |
| Polyphenolic Profile Degradation | Moderate (due to continuous heating) | Minimal (due to rapid thermal process) | Negligible (under low thermal stress) |
| Environmental Carbon Footprint | Medium-High | Extremely Low | Low |
For international corporate buyers, selecting a reliable manufacturer requires verifying complete product safety and supply chain traceability. Sourcing teams prioritize identity authentication, pesticide screening, and heavy metal compliance.
Adulteration is a significant risk in the botanical industry, especially for high-demand polyphenols. We use DNA barcoding and HPLC profiling to verify the authenticity of all raw materials, ensuring 100% pure *Punica granatum* pericarp with zero adulterants.
Using advanced ICP-MS instrumentation, we test and control heavy metals to meet international standards: Lead (Pb) < 3.0 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) < 1.0 ppm, Mercury (Hg) < 0.1 ppm, and Arsenic (As) < 1.0 ppm. Our products also meet the strict pesticide residual limits set by EU Regulation 396/2005.
Modern consumers expect clean labels. Our processing methods avoid chlorinated solvents and toxic carriers, yielding clean, water-soluble powders that meet the requirements of natural-source products in international markets.

Founded on a commitment to purity, potency, and innovation, we bridge the gap between nature’s potential and your product development goals.
Our core strength lies in our vertically integrated process, which gives us complete control from seed to extract. We partner with a network of certified organic and sustainably managed farms to ensure the integrity of every raw material. Our state-of-the-art extraction facilities employ advanced technologies, including supercritical solvent and water-based methods, to preserve the full spectrum of bioactive compounds without compromising on environmental responsibility.
Exceeding standard compliance requirements is at the heart of our botanical manufacturing. Our in-house research facilities design and refine custom formulations tailored to specific customer needs.
Quality and safety are non-negotiable. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing in our in-house laboratories, equipped with HPLC, GC-MS, and other advanced analytical instruments. We guarantee compliance with stringent international standards, including ISO, NSF, cGMP, and related certifications. Our commitment to transparency means you receive comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for every product, ensuring traceability and peace of mind.
It's one thing to just meet the regulations when providing ingredients, but when an ingredient supplier exceeds those standards and imposes even higher ones in its products that is a sign of a company who cares. Andy Biotech takes extra steps to ensure that our independent third-party laboratory-tested ingredients you want meet our standards as well as your own.
Our extensive portfolio features a wide range of standardized extract, ratio extract, and custom blends tailored to specific formulations. Whether you need Echinacea for immune support, Turmeric with high curcuminoid content, or innovative botanical blends for skincare, our technical team works closely with you to deliver exactly what your product requires. Andy Biotech provides high quality Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Lycopene Tomato Extract, Lutein Marigold Extract, Aloe Vera Gel Freeze Dried powder, Aloe Vera Extract and other natural ingredients to food, health, and nutraceutical industries.
Standardized extracts prepared from *Punica granatum* pericarp are widely used across multiple sectors due to their versatile application profiles:
Sourcing teams utilize our Punicalagin powders to support cardiovascular health formulations. Punicalagins act as key precursors for Urolithin A, which promotes mitochondrial function and gut microbiome health. High water-solubility makes them ideal for ready-to-mix (RTM) beverages, capsules, and tablet systems.
Ellagic acid acts as a natural tyrosinase inhibitor, making it a popular ingredient in brightening creams and anti-aging serums. Our extracts also support collagen synthesis and UV-induced oxidation protection, meeting the demands of high-performance skincare brands.
With its high content of active polyphenols and natural organic acids, our pomegranate peel extract serves as a clean-label antimicrobial and antioxidant alternative in meat and poultry preservation, extending shelf life naturally.
Andy was born in a small village close to Hanjiang River in Hanzhong Shaanxi province, China. Thirty years ago, when she was still a little child, she caught a cold, but the medical services were not available unless the family crossed over high mountains to find a hospital. Thus, Andy's grandfather first used Echinacea leaves soaked in water for her treatment, then he dug Echinacea root and shredded into pulp and squeezed the liquid for Andy to drink one spoon every two hours. Andy recovered after this treatment.
As a child, Andy watched his grandfather harness the healing power of plants in his humble garden. His ancient herbal remedies were not just treatments; they were magic. That early wonder blossomed into a profound passion for plant extracts and a deep respect for nature’s wisdom.
From that time on, little Andy swore that he would help to spread all herbs all over the world to give benefit to more people. This personal journey is the heart of Andy Biotech. It’s why Andy Biotech are dedicated to researching and delivering the purest, most effective botanical solutions for modern wellness. Andy’s lifelong vow is to honor that tradition by innovating for a healthier future, empowering lives through the timeless power of plants.
Our research and development pipeline focuses on improving extraction efficiency and molecular stability to deliver high-quality botanical solutions.
To improve the bioavailability of Ellagic Acid, we are developing liposomal delivery systems that enhance skin absorption and intestinal uptake.
Our R&D team is engineering enzymatic pathways to glycosylate polyphenols, improving water solubility while maintaining physiological activity.
We are implementing real-time NIR (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) monitoring on our extraction lines to ensure batch-to-batch uniformity.
Our facilities are certified by leading global quality and safety organizations, meeting strict compliance requirements for international distribution.
