Senna Leaf Extract Powder

Alfalfa Extract: Premium Botanical Ingredient from Xi'an Linnas Biotech

Xi'an Linnas Biotech Co., Ltd. manufactures professional-grade Alfalfa Extract produced using vacuum spray-drying techniques and sophisticated solvent extraction from the aerial portions of Medicago sativa. Our standardized extract consistently delivers vital vitamins, chlorophyll, and beneficial saponins by maintaining concentration ratios between 10:1 and 50:1. Our production facilities ensure batch-to-batch stability and purity levels that surpass international requirements thanks to ISO 9001, HACCP, HALAL, and KOSHER certifications. Every extract batch is subjected to comprehensive quality control, with solvent residues kept below 5000 ppm and heavy metal levels carefully limited (Pb<3.0 ppm, As<1.0 ppm). Our production capacity enables both bespoke OEM/ODM formulations and bulk supply for nutraceutical and cosmetic applications across the globe.

What Makes Our Alfalfa Extract Different

Bioavailability and shelf stability are issues with traditional raw alfalfa. The nutritional profile of the plant is concentrated into a fine brownish-green powder by our extraction process, with 95% of it passing through 80 mesh.

This improved particle size guaranties better mixing performance in tablets, capsules, and functional drinks. Microbial growth is inhibited while the integrity of the active ingredient is preserved by the regulated loss on drying (≤5.0%).

Heat-sensitive nutrients are preserved by our ethanol and water extraction techniques. The resultant powder is perfect for complicated compositions because it does not degrade quickly at pH values between 4.0 and 8.0.

Technical Specifications

Nutrient Profile and Bioactive Compounds

Basic nutrition is not enough for your formulations. In addition to accessible minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, our extract provides rich vitamins K1, C, A, and E.

Phytochemical activity is stable throughout production batches because to the standardized saponin concentration (5%–50%). These substances uphold regulatory compliance while supporting a range of health applications.

As a visual quality indicator, chlorophyll retention is correlated with color intensity. Compared to traditional heat-drying techniques, our unique drying approach maximizes chlorophyll preservation.

The content of isoflavones and coumestrol acts as a selective modulator of estrogen receptors. Because of this, our Alfalfa Extract is especially useful for formulations of women's health supplements that call for phytoestrogenic activity.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

Every stage of production must adhere to established procedures when manufacturing under ISO 9001 standards. While advanced analytical tools confirm purity at several stages, our automated processes minimize human error.

Our facility's activities are governed by HACCP principles, which define crucial control points from the receiving of raw materials to the final packing. Contamination concerns are eliminated by this methodical technique.

Your market reach in North America, Europe, and the Middle East is increased with HALAL and KOSHER certifications. These qualifications expedite regulatory approvals and streamline your import documentation.

Every batch is tested by a third party for solvent levels, microbial contamination, and pesticide residues. Prior to distribution, you receive Certificates of Analysis attesting to compliance.

Applications in Modern Formulations

Dietary Supplements: The superior flow characteristics and compressibility of our extract are advantageous for capsules and tablets. Uniform dispersion in mixes is guarantyd by the 80-mesh particle size.

Functional Foods: Water-soluble grades are easily included into nutritional bars, protein powders, and green superfood combinations. Other botanical elements are enhanced by the subtle herbaceous flavor.

Cosmetic Formulations: Skin-soothing products are supported by the presence of vitamin K and chlorophyll. Formulations aimed at mature or stressed skin conditions are improved by the mineral profile.

Animal Nutrition: Compared to raw alfalfa meal, concentrated nutrition in smaller proportions improves palatability while lowering feed costs.​​​​​​​

OEM and ODM Partnership Solutions

Ingredients for your brand should be customized to meet the needs of particular markets. Our technical team works together on encapsulation techniques, carrier systems, and specific extraction ratios.

From the creation of formulations to the final products, we assist private label manufacturing. We can accommodate both trial runs and commercial-scale orders with our packaging solutions, which vary from 1 kg foil packets to 25 kg fiber drums.

Regulatory consultation services facilitate the navigation of various markets' ingredient approval procedures. We offer supporting documents for GMO-free certification, allergen statements, and health claims.

While established relationships are rewarded with volume discounts, minimum order quantities are still flexible for developing brands. Our global logistics network guaranties dependable delivery timetables to warehouses.

Packaging and Storage

• Small Volume: 1–10 kg in nitrogen-flushed aluminum foil bags
• Bulk Volume: 20 kg or 25 kg in double-lined food-grade PE fiber drums
• Storage Requirements: Keep out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry location below 25°C.
• Shelf Life: 24 months if stored correctly in original, unopened packaging

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which solvents do you use for extraction?

A: We use ethanol extraction techniques and water of medicinal quality. All solvent residues meet USP and European Pharmacopeia requirements, with ethanol concentrations kept below 5000 ppm.

Q: How can non-GMO status be guaranteed?

A: We only source from verified non-GMO growing zones because alfalfa is a common GMO crop worldwide. Before processing, each batch is subjected to PCR testing to verify genetic integrity.

Q: Is it possible to alter the saponin concentration?

A: Yes. To reach the desired saponin levels between 5% and 50%, our extraction procedure modifies the polarity of the solvent and the length of the extraction process. Lower ratios are more appropriate for everyday wellness products, whereas higher concentrations are better suited for therapeutic uses.

Q: How long does it usually take you to receive large orders?

A: Following payment confirmation, standard specs are shipped within three days. Depending on the intricacy and necessary testing procedures, custom formulations usually take 15 to 20 business days.

Q: Do you offer samples for examination?

A: 20g samples of our standard extract specs are available. To guaranty that we provide the best grade for your assessment, sample requests should specify your intended application.
