Our Story - Built Different, From the Ground Up
Founded in October 2012, Shaanxi Jiuyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. began with a simple but ambitious idea: build a plant extract company that owns every step of the process.
While most competitors source raw materials through brokers and traders, we took a different path. We established our manufacturing base at the foot of the Qinling Mountains - China's botanical heartland, renowned for its exceptional biodiversity and the richest concentration of medicinal and functional botanicals in the country. We built direct partnerships with local growers. We invested in our own R&D and testing center. We secured 12 international certifications - including ISO and FSSC 22000 - not as a checklist, but as a commitment.
Today, we are a national high-tech enterprise with a 70,000m² facility, 10 production lines, and 6,000+ tons of annual capacity - one of the most established vertically integrated botanical extract manufacturers in Northwest China. We serve clients in the dietary supplement, functional food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical intermediate, and feed additive industries across more than 30 countries.
But the question we ask ourselves every day is not "how much can we produce?" It's "how can we be a better partner?"
Our Vision
To redefine what it means to be a botanical extract partner - not a commodity supplier, but a trusted extension of our clients' R&D and supply chain teams.
Our Mission
To unlock the full potential of Qinling's botanical resources through science, transparency, and vertical integration - delivering ingredients that are pure, potent, and fully traceable, with the documentation and transparency that serious global buyers require.

Dry Granulation Equipment
Process Overview:
Granules are formed without adding liquid, typically using roller compaction or slugging.
The compacted material is sieved into granules, preserving heat- and moisture-sensitive components.
Key Features:
● Ideal for moisture-sensitive or heat-sensitive botanical powders
● Produces light, porous granules suitable for further processing
● Maintains bioactive compound integrity and stability
● Particle Size Range: 8–60 mesh
● Production Scale: Customizable to small pilot batches or full-scale commercial production
Applications:
● Sensitive botanical powders and herbal extracts
● Solid beverages, dietary supplements, and cosmetic powders
● Products requiring high stability and preservation of active ingredients
High-Temperature Instant Sterilization Line
At Jiuyuan Biotech, we understand that European and North American buyers are increasingly concerned about irradiation in botanical extracts and functional powders. To address this, we have implemented high-temperature short-time (HTST) sterilization-a cutting-edge technology that ensures microbial safety without using irradiation, preserving the natural properties and efficacy of plant actives.
How It Works
● Rapid Heating: Extracts are exposed to precisely controlled high temperatures for a short duration, effectively inactivating bacteria, molds, and yeast.
● Immediate Cooling: Minimizes thermal degradation of heat-sensitive bioactive compounds, maintaining chlorogenic acids, flavonoids, and other key phytochemicals.
● Scalable & Efficient: Designed for both pilot-scale (25–200 kg) and full-scale commercial production, meeting the throughput needs of international clients.
Why It Matters for International Buyers
● No Irradiation: Meets EU and US clean-label requirements by avoiding gamma or electron beam irradiation.
● Microbial Safety: Strict microbial control ensures high-quality, safe products for dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages.
● Retention of Bioactivity: HTST preserves solubility, clarity, and potency, giving customers reliable and premium-grade botanical ingredients.
● Traceable and Certified: Combined with GMP-compliant facilities and third-party testing, every batch comes with COA verification for international compliance.
Real-World Impact
One of our European clients was struggling to find botanical extracts for immune-support powders that did not require irradiation-a major labeling concern in the EU. After switching to JiuYuan Bio's HTST-processed honeysuckle and ginseng extracts, they achieved:
● Clear, easily soluble powders
● Preserved active compounds verified by HPLC
● Peace of mind with non-irradiated certification for EU and US markets
● By leveraging HTST sterilization, we help international buyers overcome regulatory and consumer concerns, providing botanical ingredients that are safe, potent, and market-ready.
