Direct-from-factory ingredients analyzed by in-house HPLC/UV/GC instrumentation. Full batch traceability conforming to European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and AESAN dietary standards.
Barcelona and the wider Catalonia region represent Spain's preeminent life-sciences and food-tech nucleus. Formulators across Baix Llobregat, Vallès Occidental, and the 22@ Innovation District deploy standardized botanical powders into four distinct vertical markets.
Catalonia hosts Spain's densest concentration of dietary supplement CDMOs. Sourcing pure Dihydroquercetin (Taxifolin ≥98%) and Red Ginseng Extract with verified ginsenosides enables local laboratories to manufacture high-bioavailability capsules addressing mitochondrial vitality and cardiovascular health, fully compliant with AESAN regulations.
Ph. Eur. Heavy Metal CompliantCatalonia's renowned artisan and industrial baking sector actively replaces artificial colourants and synthetic preservatives. Spray-dried cherry powder and acerola extracts provide natural ascorbic acid (17%–25%) for dough conditioning, moisture preservation, and clean-label natural pink-to-red hues without synthetic E-numbers.
Non-GMO · Zero Synthetic AdditivesFrom Gràcia indie skin labs to industrial cosmetic facilities in Terrassa, active botanicals form the core of skin barrier and anti-pollution formulas. Water-soluble botanical powders like Taxifolin and polyphenol-rich black tea deliver potent radical scavenging (ORAC values) directly into aqueous cosmetic matrices.
CosIng & REACH Verified GradesComparing bioactive marker assays, mesh sizes, and solvent residues to eliminate procurement risks prior to customs clearance at the Port of Barcelona.

Data-backed shifts governing botanical raw material imports through the Port of Barcelona and El Prat Free Trade Zone.
Barcelona's vibrant modern beverage ecosystem has seen rapid growth in functional coffee alternatives and ready-to-mix mushroom elixirs. Products utilizing water-soluble Chaga extract powder are in high demand across local specialty retail and e-commerce CDMOs, necessitating batch clarity in warm water and strict absence of bitter processing adjuvants.
Instant Cold-Water DispersionThe Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) and Catalan health authorities (Agència de Salut Pública de Catalunya - ASPCAT) enforce rigorous sampling at point of entry for heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury), pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Partnering with an exporter with dedicated HPLC testing eliminates customs border rejections.
Zero PAH & Trace Heavy Metal LimitsCatalan importers rely heavily on direct maritime consolidation arriving at the Port of Barcelona (Muelle Prat) and air cargo via Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. Exporters capable of providing comprehensive documentation packages (Customs Tariff codes, COA, non-GMO, BSE/TSE declaration, flow chart) shave 7–10 days off sanitary border inspections (PIF).
PIF-Ready Documentation PackagesHeadquartered in Xi'an—the heartland of traditional herbal resources and extraction technology—Xi'an Sirn Bio-Tech integrates university-grade academic research with high-throughput commercial processing.
Operating 4 continuous industrial production lines and 2 dedicated pilot lines under GMP workshops, ensuring smooth scale-up from 1 kg pilot trials to multi-ton commercial consignments.
Equipped with internal Gas Chromatography (GC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Ultrasonic Extraction equipment to verify marker potency before dispatch.
Formal research partnerships with Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwest University, and Xi'an University of Science and Technology, facilitating novel active isolation and bio-fermentation.
Staffed by 18 senior/mid-level technicians and 5 licensed TCM pharmacists, guaranteeing responsive formulation assistance and documentation turnaround across European business hours.
Clear, technical answers to common queries raised by QA heads, purchasing directors, and regulatory managers across Catalonia.
For bulk active powders and extracts, our standard MOQ is strictly 1 kg. This allows Catalan R&D teams and formulation engineers to complete analytical validation, bench tests, and stability studies without committing capital to full drum quantities. For custom private-label OEM finished formats (such as sachet-packaged mushroom coffee), our MOQ starts at 500 units.
All export shipments are accompanied by a complete technical dossier: batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) containing HPLC/UV fingerprinting, safety data sheets (MSDS), non-GMO declaration, allergen statements, process flow charts, and TSE/BSE free declarations. We proactively test for ethylene oxide (ETO), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH4), and heavy metals to ensure seamless release by the Sanidad Exterior authorities.
Yes. Leveraging our 2 dedicated pilot lines, we routinely formulate custom extraction ratios (e.g., 4:1 up to 50:1) and standardized marker potencies tailored to your master formula. While spray-dried powders typically use a small percentage of maltodextrin for moisture protection, carrier-free freeze-dried or vacuum-belt dried alternatives are readily available for 100% clean-label Mediterranean applications.
Bulk powders are packaged in pharmaceutical-grade food-contact double-layer polyethylene (PE) bags, heat-sealed and encased inside a vacuum-welded aluminum foil protective liner, and placed inside 25 kg fiber drums with tamper-evident seals. For small pilot orders (1–5 kg), heavy-gauge multi-layer zip-lock foil bags with moisture desiccants are used, protecting hygroscopic powders from maritime humidity.
Our regulatory team, supported by licensed TCM pharmacists and academic partners, cross-references all botanical candidates against the European Commission Novel Food Catalogue and AESAN Positive List of Botanicals. For cosmetic active powders (like Dihydroquercetin and GHK-Cu), we supply detailed CAS numbers, INCI registrations, and purity assays (≥98%) needed for European Product Information Files (PIF) and CPNP notification.
In-stock ingredients are dispatched within 48 hours of order confirmation. For air-freight door-to-door deliveries (via DHL, FedEx, or dedicated air-cargo into Barcelona-El Prat BCN), lead time is typically 5–7 business days. For consolidated commercial sea-freight containers into the Port of Barcelona, transit times range from 28 to 35 days, with full bill of lading and export clearance documentation dispatched in advance.
Whether you require standard batch COAs, pilot samples for trial batches, or specialized extraction parameters for clean-label supplements and cosmetic actives, our technical team responds within 2 hours.
