Learn More →As Europe’s second-largest port city and a key logistics hub, Antwerp plays a critical role in the distribution and manufacturing of raw botanical ingredients. The Belgian food and beverage industry, famous for its artisanal confectionery, premium dairy products, and legendary brewing culture, is undergoing a major shift. The demand for clean-label, natural plant powders and fruit/vegetable juice concentrates is surging as consumers across Flanders and the broader EU seek healthier, sugar-reduced, and synthetic-free food options.
For Antwerp-based food processors, finding reliable, certified factories and exporters is a top strategic priority. Industrial users require raw materials that not only retain natural vitamins, minerals, and flavor profiles but also perform reliably in high-speed, continuous manufacturing setups. This requires advanced dehydration technology, strict allergen control, and full supply chain transparency from farm to the final warehouse at the Port of Antwerp.
Fruit and vegetable juice powders are used in many different local industries throughout the Antwerp region:
Manufacturing high-quality fruit and vegetable juice powders is a delicate balance of science and engineering. Traditional thermal methods can damage heat-sensitive nutrients like Vitamin C, volatile aromatic compounds, and active polyphenols. Andy Biotech uses a dual technological approach to ensure maximum nutrient preservation and physical stability:
For standard food-grade formulations, juice concentrates are atomized into a stream of hot, dry air. Utilizing short contact times and precise temperature zoning, the liquid instantly flashes into powder. This keeps the core temperature low, preventing caramelization and nutrient degradation.
For high-value botanical extracts such as bilberry or aronia, freeze-drying is the gold standard. Ice crystals are sublimated directly into vapor under vacuum conditions. The structure remains porous and open, leading to instant solubility in cold water and excellent retention of original colors and flavors.
Using natural carriers like gum arabic or clean-label chicory root inulin, we coat sensitive active elements. This prevents oxidation, extends shelf life, and ensures the active components survive the harsh acidic environment of the stomach for targeted absorption.

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.
As a global leader in high-volume agricultural extraction, Chinese factories offer unparalleled scale, raw material access, and technological integration. Andy Biotech operates raw material cultivation bases across key bio-diverse zones in China, including the ecological preserves of the Qinling Mountains. This local sourcing strategy ensures that fresh fruits and vegetables are collected and processed within hours of harvest, locking in vital nutrients and ensuring stable raw material pricing.
Our export division coordinates continuous bulk container shipments from Shaanxi to major Chinese transit ports (Ningbo/Shanghai), shipping directly to the Port of Antwerp. We maintain buffer stocks and secure customs clearance via local European agents, keeping delivery timelines reliable despite fluctuating sea freight schedules.
European buyers must comply with strict rules regarding pesticide limits, PAH contaminants, ethylene oxide (EtO) residues, and heavy metals. Andy Biotech designs each production run to comply with European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) criteria, sending standard batches to Eurofins or SGS labs for third-party validation before loading.
Our commitment to international standards is backed by globally recognized certifications, allowing hassle-free import into Antwerp and the wider Benelux region.

We test every batch to ensure it complies with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) standards. This includes verifying that heavy metals (like Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury), pesticide residues (in line with EU Regulation 396/2005), and microbiological counts fall within acceptable limits. We provide complete certificates of analysis (CoA) alongside third-party testing validations from labs like Eurofins or SGS.
Ocean freight from major Chinese ports (Shanghai or Ningbo) to the Port of Antwerp usually takes 30 to 45 days. We also offer air freight services for urgent orders, which typically take 5 to 7 working days, ensuring your production schedule remains on track.
Yes, we customize formulations based on client requirements. While spray-drying usually requires a carrier like maltodextrin for stability, we can substitute clean-label carriers like organic chicory inulin or gum arabic. We also offer 100% pure freeze-dried fruit powders that contain zero additives or carriers.
Our standard MOQ for stock items is 25 kg (packaged in fiber drums). For custom ratios, specialized spray-drying runs, or private formulations tailored for Antwerp companies, our MOQs typically start at 100 kg to 500 kg, depending on the raw material's availability.
Absolutely. All Andy Biotech products are certified non-GMO. We follow strict allergen management protocols during cultivation, storage, and processing, ensuring our powders remain free from common allergens such as gluten, soy, dairy, and nuts, which helps you avoid cross-contamination issues.
Because our powders are highly water-soluble, they are naturally hygroscopic. They should be stored in their original sealed drums in a cool, dry warehouse, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Maintaining a temperature below 25°C and relative humidity below 60% will prevent clumping and ensure a shelf life of up to 24 months.
