Tailored sugar substitutes supporting low-glycemic, zero-calorie formulations across Oman's food and beverage sectors.
In recent years, the Sultanate of Oman has witnessed a profound transformation in nutritional standards and consumer behavior, heavily guided by the national objectives of **Oman Vision 2040**. With a rising focus on combating lifestyle-associated challenges such as type-2 diabetes and metabolic syndromes, the Ministry of Health has actively encouraged industrial reform.
The introduction of selective excise taxes—specifically a 50% tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs)—has accelerated reform initiatives within Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah's regional manufacturing centers. Beverage processors, dairy plants, and confectionery producers are actively seeking reliable non-nutritive plant extracts to recreate the structural profile of traditional sweeteners without compromising clean labels.
As an industry-leading manufacturer, we supply Oman's major manufacturers with highly purified Steviol Glycosides, Monk Fruit Mogrosides, and Sweet Tea Extracts that are certified Halal, compliant with the Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO) regulations, and optimized for extreme thermal stability.
Under current GSO regulations, formulating beverages with zero-added sucrose avoids high tariff structures while offering a healthier profile to health-conscious local consumers.
All phytochemistry operations at Andy Biotech are backed by HPLC testing, heavy-metal validation reports, and a fully transparent supply chain starting from source.
Addressing procurement challenges, logistics resilience, and regulatory compliance within the GCC market.
With direct maritime shipping routes from Chinese industrial hubs to the Port of Sohar and the Port of Salalah, we guarantee uninterrupted raw material flow, avoiding geopolitical bottlenecks through proactive container booking and strategic distribution warehouses.
Every batch of Stevia and Monk Fruit meets the rigorous criteria of GSO 2233/2012 and GSO 995. This includes strict levels on pesticide residue, zero synthetic adulteration, and specific requirements for Halal certification.
Middle Eastern consumers increasingly reject artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, Acesulfame-K, and Sucralose. Our plant-derived solutions maintain clean labels and display superior water solubility for carbonated sodas and juice nectars.
Andy Biotech harnesses the technological advantages of China's modern smart extraction plants. Our facilities leverage automated continuous countercurrent extraction, membrane filtration technology, and industrial-scale vacuum low-temperature spray drying.
By integrating real-time HPLC analysis directly within our processing loops, we ensure that botanical parameters like Mogroside V in Monk Fruit and Rebaudioside A/M in Stevia remain completely consistent across batches. This smart control limits batch variations to within ±2%, offering extreme reliability to high-output beverage bottlers in Oman.
Furthermore, our water-based extraction methodologies exclude chemical solvents, satisfying the environmental criteria for ISO 14001 and providing clean, pesticide-free ingredients for both health supplements and food products.
From traditional sweets to modern carbonated beverages: engineering natural sweetness profiles.
Cultured dairy bases like Laban require sweetening systems that do not break down under acidic conditions (pH 4.0 - 4.5) or pasteurization heat.
Our water-soluble Sweet Tea Extract (Rubusoside) serves as an outstanding natural sweetening agent, acting synergistically with dairy proteins to mask bitter aftertastes and reduce the necessity of added sugars.
The intense thermal processing (reaching up to 120°C in copper pots) of traditional Halwa requires sweeteners with high heat resistance.
Through our custom blends of Monk Fruit Mogroside V and Stevia, food scientists can replace up to 50% of bulk sugar without structural degradation or unwanted crystallization, maintaining the authentic texture and golden color of Halwa.

"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.
Highly purified plant extracts and active raw materials for global food, supplement, and cosmetics manufacturing.
Essential answers concerning the procurement, regulatory alignment, and technological application of natural sweeteners in Oman.
Under Gulf Standardization Organization standards (GSO 2233/2012), plant-derived high-intensity sweeteners such as Steviol Glycosides (Stevia) and Mogrosides (Monk Fruit Extract) are permitted food additives. They must adhere to strictly defined purity thresholds and require standard labeling declarations. Andy Biotech supplies raw materials that meet or exceed these regulatory requirements.
Our production facilities utilize pure water extraction methods without the introduction of ethanol or any animal-derived processing aids. All products shipped to the Middle East hold recognized Halal certification, verified by accredited certifying bodies.
Both Mogroside V (Monk Fruit) and Rebaudioside A (Stevia) display excellent thermal stability, remaining stable at temperatures up to 200°C without browning, fermenting, or losing their sweet profile. This characteristics make them suitable for traditional Omani confectionery and baking applications.
By dispatching shipments from Qingdao or Shanghai to the Port of Sohar or the Port of Salalah, sea freight transit typically spans 18 to 22 days. Air shipping options are available for urgent sample requirements, with a transit time of 5 to 7 days.
