Hops Extract Powder

Hops Extract Powder - Premium Botanical Extract for Nutraceutical & Functional Applications 

The hops extract powder from Xi’an DN Biology is guaranteed to be potent and pure for your formulating needs. Our product is derived from the strobiles of Humulus lupulus L. utilizing the most advanced water extraction and concentration method. It is a 10:1 standardized product, and UV testing has confirmed it contains 5-10% flavonoids.

We have been processing botanical extraction since 2010, more than 14 years, with four 6m3 extraction vessels and integrated spray-drying systems up to 3,000 tons a year. We rigorously analyze each batch by HPLC and UV in our own in-house laboratory to ensure a consistent brown-yellow fine powder passing through 80 mesh with a moisture level of ≤5%.

Our product solves formulation issues by supplying shelf-stable standardized bioactive ingredients such as xanthohumol and bitter acids, but without the oxidative instability of raw hop cones. You will obtain ISO 9001, GMP, HACCP, Kosher and Halal certified material, fully traceable from our integrated supply chain.

What Makes Our Hops Extract Powder Different?

Enterprise Grade Production Standard

We stock 100 tons of inventory to keep your production schedules on time. We have full traceability procedures in our facilities from the selection of raw materials through to final packing in 25kg fibre drums.

Your advantage is our quick turnaround. Custom production is 7-15 days, stock orders ship the same week! Whether you need 1kg for R&D testing or multi-ton amounts for commercial manufacturing, we can scale effortlessly to suit your needs.

Supercritical Extraction Experts

The first step of our method is the meticulous selection of the blossoms of the plant Humulus lupulus. Then we crush and sieve, do controlled water extraction, filtration and vacuum concentration. The spray drying step protects the heat sensitive flavonoids, and enables the best powder flowability.

This approach allows to isolate beneficial chemicals such as prenylated flavonoids and to eliminate undesired plant matrix. Water-soluble powder that blends well into capsules, tablets, functional beverages and topical preparations.

Five Key Advantages for Your Business

1. Authenticity of Natural Source

Our Humulus lupulus is sourced from controlled growing regions with limited pesticide exposure. Your formulas are well placed with clean-label and transparent ingredient listings.

2. Precision of Supercritical Technology

We do low temperature extraction to safeguard sensitive prenylated chemicals. This keeps the biological activity your end-users expect from quality botanical supplements.

3. Steady Active Content

Variations in flavonoid contents are less than 3% across batches. Your quality control team will get consistent assay values so they can more easily schedule production.

4. Systems for Stable Quality

Our FSSC 22000 compliance ranges from incoming raw material inspection through to finished product release. Each production batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis and third party testing help is provided.

5. Expert Manufacturing Partner

Our technical team can help you with solubility optimization, stability testing and regulatory documentation. OEM/ODM flexibility to work with you from concept to commercializationa

Application Scenarios & Formulation Flexibility

Your R&D team can incorporate Hops Extract Powder into a broad spectrum of product categories:

Dietary Supplements: Use alone for sleep-support formulae or in combination with complimentary botanicals such as valerian and passionflower. The tiny particle size of the powder guarantees a uniform dispersion in the tablet matrices.

Functional Beverages: Our water soluble extract is well dispersed in aqueous systems. Create relaxing teas, relaxation drinks, or pre-sleep shots with explicit labelling for standardized hop content.

Beauty & Personal Care Flavonoid content substantiates antioxidant claims in skin care serums and anti-aging lotions. The powder format allows its integration into oil-in-water emulsions and anhydrous products.

Nutraceutical Blends: Combine with other botanical extracts to create women’s health formulas for menopausal symptom relief or stress management programs.

We may give the powder in bulk or we can adjust the blend ratios to match your own recipes. Technical documentation, including suggested usage levels and stability data, can speed up your time-to-market.

Complete Production & Quality Assurance Process

Step 1: Selection of Raw Materials

We evaluate incoming flowers of Humulus lupulus for moisture, foreign material and visual quality. Only material that meets our acceptance standards goes to production.

Step 2: Crushing and Sieving the

Controlled particle size reduction enhances the extraction efficiency. We normalize the mesh size prior to the extraction phase.

Step 3: Sketch the Water

We have 6m³ extraction vessels, which are operated at exact time and temperature parameters.” In this step the necessary flavonoids and bitter chemicals are concentrated.

4. Filtration and vacuum concentration

We remove the plant fibres and concentrate the liquid extract under vacuum , to protect the heat sensitive actives .

Step 5. Spray drying

The concentrate extract is converted in to fine powder by using spray drying technique. We manage the inlet/outlet temperatures to preserve the bioactivity.

Step 6: Sift and Combine

The final powder is screened via 80 mesh screens. The homogenization process promotes consistency within each batch produced.

Step 7: Testing & Packaging

HPLC, UV and microbiological testing confirm compliance with specification. We fill moisture-barrier drums with nitrogen flushing for increased shelf life.

Packaging & Storage Recommendations

The product is packed in 25kg fibre drums with interior bags of double food grade polyethylene. This arrangement helps to avoid moisture penetration and oxidative deterioration during transportation and storage.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Store at temperatures below 25°C with relative humidity below 60%. Material is in specification compliance 24 months from date of manufacture when properly kept.

For smaller R&D volumes we can do 1kg minimum orders with proper subdivision packaging. Our 100-ton inventory capacity is an advantage for bulk buyers in just-in-time delivery scheduling.
