China Stevia Root Extract | Made with Reliable Supply Chain

china stevia root extract

Stevia root extract comes from the same plant as leaf extract, but the root contains different compounds. In China, large-scale production of stevia root extract has been limited historically. Huacheng Biotech changed that. We source stevia roots directly from contracted farms in Hunan and neighboring provinces, running extraction at our own facility. The process skips brokers, which keeps costs down. Our root extract typically runs 90% steviol glycosides, tested per batch. With FDA, BRC, and GMP certificates, the line meets EU and US import requirements. We hold six months of raw material inventory to buffer seasonal price swings. That stability matters if you're formulating budget-sensitive products. Every shipment gets a lab report and traceability code back to the farm plot. For formulators needing a consistent, low-cost sweetener base, stevia root extract offers an alternative to leaf-derived Reb A. Huacheng Biotech's output reaches 800 metric tons annually. The company reinvests profits into expanding extraction capacity and patenting new purification methods. This production-first mindset suits industrial buyers who care about supply security more than fancy packaging. Our logistics team handles documentation for sea freight and air cargo, so clearance is straightforward. Ask for a spec sheet and COA sample to see the typical profile.

Technical Detail

Configured around process stability, mold life, and long-term uptime.

Hunan Huacheng Biotech runs one of the larger stevia processing sites in central China. The campus covers 20,000 square meters and houses six extraction lines. Daily throughput averages 2-3 metric tons of dried stevia root, yielding roughly 200 kg of high-purity extract. All production follows HACCP plans and gets audited annually for BRC and GMP. Our BRC certification is grade A, which reduces unannounced audits for European buyers. The FDA registration number appears on every commercial invoice, simplifying US customs entry. CE marking applies to our in-house lab equipment calibration—not the extract itself, but it shows we standardize measurement. Traceability starts at the farm. We contract directly with growers in Yongzhou, Hunan, a region with ideal soil pH for stevia. Agronomists on staff test soil residues before planting and again at harvest. Each batch of dried root arrives with a lot code linking it to a specific plot and harvest date. That code follows the extract through processing, quality control, and shipping. If a buyer ever questions a batch, we can pull all records within 48 hours. Cost control comes from vertical integration. We operate our own resin column regeneration line, so we don't pay third parties to recycle adsorbents. Spent root biomass gets composted and returned to farms as fertilizer, closing a low-waste loop. These measures keep our root extract priced 15-20% below competitors who outsource purification. Volume pricing kicks in at 500 kg, and we hold safety stock in Rotterdam for just-in-time delivery within Europe. On the technical side, the root extract shows good solubility at 20 °Brix in water, stable pH between 4 and 8, and works in UHT processing. Typical lot specs: 90% steviol glycosides, low moisture, and heavy metals below regulatory limits.
