Discover our highly standardized, water-soluble plant extracts tailored for nutraceutical, beverage, and skincare manufacturing lines.
Unlocking the biological activity of Solanum lycopersicum by-products for sustainable high-value industrial manufacturing.
Tomato peel, once considered a co-product of the agro-industrial processing of tomatoes, is today recognized as one of the most potent, economically viable sources of natural carotenoids, specifically all-trans-lycopene, alongside structural cutin, phytoene, phytofluene, and essential polyphenols. As consumer preference shifts globally towards clean-label, bio-sourced components, industrial reliance on synthetic colorants and antioxidants is steadily decreasing.
The global market for natural lycopene extracted from tomato peel is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 6.5%, driven by clinical trials validating its efficacy in cardiovascular health support, cellular protection, UV protection, and prostate health formulas. For large-scale manufacturers, securing a direct supply line from a vertically integrated factory ensures molecular stability, solvent safety, and consistent batch performance.

How global brands integrate Tomato Peel Extract (Lycopene) into consumer-facing formulations.
In North American and European beauty sectors, Tomato Peel Extract is utilized in "beauty from within" dietary tablets and topical serums. Its high concentration of lycopene protects skin cells against oxidative damage induced by UV radiation (natural photoprotection) and inhibits collagen breakdown, making it a critical active ingredient in premium anti-aging products.
In Japan and East Asia, our water-dispersible tomato lycopene powders are incorporated into functional margarines, daily health beverages, and dietary softgels. Standardized lycopene helps maintain healthy LDL cholesterol oxidation rates, supporting cardiovascular health protocols approved by national regulatory authorities.
Within localized poultry and aquaculture operations in South America and Western Europe, natural tomato peel components serve as organic feed additives. They naturally enhance the pigmentation of egg yolks and fish meat, eliminating the need for synthetic pigmenting chemicals.
Engineering the next generation of bioavailability and green processing technologies.
Replacing organic solvents with Supercritical CO2 and subcritical water extraction systems to maintain a 100% toxic-free residue profile.
Encapsulating lycopene within natural plant proteins to protect the carotenoid structure from heat, light, and oxidation during storage.
Utilizing natural lipid-based carrier systems (SMEDDS) to increase biological absorption rates in human digestive tracts by 300%.
Upcycling agricultural wastes into food-grade functional polymers, ensuring zero waste generation across the raw material supply chain.
Optimized logistical routing, extensive raw material access, and production scale stability.
China is home to the world's most stable industrial processing ecosystems, and our factory leverages this advantage through direct sourcing partnerships within major agricultural tomato belts. This localized concentration minimizes transportation energy consumption, stabilizes the cost structure of raw materials, and shields our production against climate-induced supply shocks.
Our state-of-the-art facility in Shaanxi operates continuously under a robust automation network, maintaining steady yield metrics and enabling custom particle sizing, liquid concentration, or spray-drying configurations. By integrating domestic manufacturing efficiency with sophisticated logistics corridors (direct rail, air, and marine freight links), we guarantee swift transit times to key hubs in Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region, regardless of seasonal supply pressures.
Aligning with local regulatory bodies for seamless market access.

How an ancient legacy of plant medicine evolved into a state-of-the-art biotechnology enterprise.
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.
