Selected high-potency raw materials optimized for the rigorous formulation standards of New Zealand's beverage & healthcare manufacturers.
New Zealand's global reputation for food safety, biological integrity, and environmental sustainability has shaped one of the most discerning consumer markets in the world. In the Australia New Zealand (ANZ) region, functional foods, ready-to-mix (RTM) nutritional shakes, clean-label sports supplements, and botanical beverages are experiencing double-digit growth. Consumers demand pure ingredients without synthetic additives, artificial colorants, or added sugars.
Consequently, local food technologists and procurement managers in cities like Auckland, Christchurch, and Hamilton face the challenge of securing industrial-scale fruit and vegetable juice powders that preserve active phytochemical profiles (such as anthocyanins, polyphenols, and essential vitamins) while demonstrating flawless solubility in water-based applications.
Because New Zealand maintains strict biosecurity measures governed by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), importing plant-based raw materials requires absolute compliance. Exporters must provide comprehensive documentation detailing drying parameters, heat processing details (to satisfy biosecurity clearance on micro-pathogens), and heavy metal analyses.
At Andy Biotech, we design our manufacturing and export protocols specifically to meet the high biosecurity and food import standard guidelines of the New Zealand market. By ensuring every batch of spray-dried powder passes phytosanitary standards and is supported by complete traceability matrices, we streamline customs clearance at major Kiwi ports including Port of Tauranga and Lyttelton Port.
Addressing the pain points of modern food science: Stability, Bioactivity, and Operational Performance.
Highly concentrated fruit powders naturally attract moisture, resulting in industrial clumping that halts automated dry-blending production lines. Our proprietary low-temperature spray drying process utilizing advanced carrier matrices (such as GMO-free tapioca maltodextrin or pure organic acacia gum) ensures dry, free-flowing physical characteristics optimal for automatic packaging machines.
High thermal exposure during dehydration destroys delicate antioxidants, color profiles, and flavor volatiles. We utilize state-of-the-art multi-stage vacuum evaporation and flash spray drying. This short contact time with heat safeguards heat-sensitive bio-nutrients, guaranteeing that products like Bilberry and Cranberry powders retain high active anthocyanin concentrations.
Modern consumers can easily identify chemical-tasting, artificial food bases. Our solutions utilize natural botanical extracts and cold-pressed juices to preserve the authentic aroma, tartness, and vibrant natural pigments of fresh fruits and vegetables. This removes the need for synthetic colorants, fitting perfectly into the Kiwi "clean-label" ethos.

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 is 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.
Certificates representing our continuous investment in facility safety, trace compliance, and international manufacturing standards.
Ensuring complete peace of mind under the FSANZ Food Standards Code and MPI guidelines.
For brands formulating in New Zealand, the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (specifically Standard 1.2.7 regarding nutrition, health, and related claims) restricts the usage and wording of botanical raw materials. Any ingredient supplied must be classified as a non-novel food or have received explicit approval from the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods (ACNF).
Andy Biotech addresses this by providing standardized fruit and vegetable powders of traditional consumption background. We supply botanical profiles that seamlessly pass ingredient classification checks, and provide the technical dossiers, pesticide residua reports (compliant with food standards limits), and allergen matrices required by local compliance officers.
Our processing roadmap focuses on reducing thermal footprint through low-temperature spray drying, maintaining volatile aromas, and developing fully water-soluble options without sedimentation. Whether you require a particle size of 80 mesh for dry powder mixes or finer parameters for ready-to-drink functional juices, we customize particle size distributions to align with your production requirements.
High-solubility, nutrient-dense natural ingredients designed for New Zealand's commercial food and beverage sectors.
