Whole Plant Extract Stevia: Our Chain from Leaf to Powder
Most stevia on the market is highly refined to isolate specific glycosides. Huacheng Biotech takes a different approach. We process whole stevia leaves from our contracted farms in China into a full-spectrum extract. The result retains a broader set of leaf compounds which some formulators find works better in blends. Behind this product is a supply chain we own—from seedling to finished extract. Instead of buying commodity extracts and repacking, we start with raw leaves sourced from our own network. This cuts out intermediaries and keeps costs in check for buyers who don’t require the premium pricing of high-purity Reb A. Our extraction facility runs under GMP and is audited to BRC and FDA standards. The extraction line uses continuous counter-current technology designed for steady throughput, helping absorb seasonal raw material variations. For R&D teams, we supply test samples that reflect current production lots, so lab results match commercial scale. If you need a cost-effective, natural sweetener closer to the leaf, this model fits budget-focused projects.
Technical Detail
Hunan Huacheng Biotech, Inc. supplies whole plant extract stevia from an integrated process in China. We contract farm stevia in regions suited for high leaf yield, controlling cultivar selection and harvest timing. The dried leaves are extracted using water and food-grade ethanol, then concentrated and spray-dried. No enzymes or chemical modification is applied to alter the glycoside profile. The resulting powder has a steviol glycoside content typically between 40% and 60%, depending on crop season and leaf quality. The balance includes other leaf constituents that can soften sweetness and add mouthfeel. Our quality system holds current certifications: GMP, HACCP, BRC, FDA registration, and CE. These are renewed through regular third-party audits. For international buyers, we ship from Changsha. MOQs are flexible depending on region. Owning the steps from farming to export eliminates middlemen, which keeps pricing competitive without sacrificing traceability. Technical documentation—CoA, MSDS, stability data—is available on request. We also provide samples for bench trials.

FAQ
Whole plant extract retains the leaf’s natural balance of steviol glycosides, flavonoids, and other constituents. High-purity products isolate one or two sweet glycosides. This broader profile can create a more rounded sweetness and may require less masking in some formulations.
We hold FDA registration, BRC, GMP, HACCP, and CE. These cover food safety, quality management, and hygiene. Audits are conducted annually by accredited third parties.
Our standard product is whole plant extract, but we can discuss custom ranges depending on volume. Tell us your target sweetness and cost constraints, and we’ll check feasibility.
It varies with order size and current production schedule. We keep buffer stock for common quantities, so smaller orders often ship within a few weeks. Larger runs are scheduled against harvest cycles, and we give clear timelines at the quoting stage.
Our standard supply is conventional. Organic or non-GMO options depend on availability of certified raw leaves. If your spec requires these, we can source from separate contracted plots and provide documentation, but lead time and MOQ will be higher.
