china stevia leaf extract

The stevia leaf supply chain in China is deep, but few processors own it from start to finish. Huacheng Biotech manages cultivation bases, harvest timing, drying, and extraction under one roof. That vertical integration lets us adjust sweetness profiles and purity levels without relying on uncertain third-party lots. For buyers, it translates to stable pricing and fewer supply surprises. On the technical side, we run aqueous extraction followed by membrane separation and spray drying. The process is tuned for high Reb-A yield, but we also produce blends with other steviol glycosides when a more rounded sweetness is required. Our in-house lab pulls samples at each stage, checking microbial limits, heavy metals, and solvent residues against FDA and BRC benchmarks. Certificates for each lot ship with the product, and we keep retention samples for five years. Most orders ship from our Changsha facility, which has capacity to handle 20-ton container loads on a regular schedule. Smaller trial orders are also possible. Pricing tends to be lean because we skip distributors and work directly with food and beverage manufacturers. If you have a target cost per sweetness unit in mind, we can often match it by adjusting the extract specification or packaging format. Reach out with your desired rebiana content or application – we will suggest the most practical grade and back it up with real production data.
