3. Product Insights
3.1 What is Soybean Extract?
Soybean Extract is a concentrated form of the beneficial compounds found in soybeans. It is rich in isoflavones, proteins, and saponins. Isoflavones, in particular, are phytoestrogens that mimic the action of estrogen in the body, playing a crucial role in various physiological processes. These bioactive components make the extract a powerhouse of health benefits.
3.2 Physical and Chemical Attributes
- Appearance: It typically presents as a fine, light yellowish powder with a faint, characteristic odor.
- Solubility: Soluble in water and some organic solvents, which facilitates its incorporation into different formulations, be it dietary supplements, food products, or topical applications.
- Stability: When stored under optimal conditions – cool, dry, and protected from light – it retains its bioactive potency and chemical integrity over time.

5. Production Process
- Sourcing Prime Raw Materials: We meticulously source high-quality soybeans from reliable farmers. The soybeans are selected based on their genetic variety and cultivation conditions to ensure maximum bioactive compound content.
- Cleaning and Preparation: The harvested soybeans are thoroughly washed to remove dirt, debris, and potential contaminants. Then, they are dried using gentle, low-temperature methods to preserve the integrity of the bioactive compounds.
- Extraction Methodology: Employ a combination of advanced extraction techniques. Solvent extraction, often using ethanol or water-ethanol mixtures, is commonly used to dissolve the bioactive compounds. Ultrafiltration and chromatography steps, especially high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), are then applied to purify the extract and isolate the key components.
- Drying and Packaging: The purified extract is dried using vacuum freeze-drying or spray drying to obtain a stable powder form. It is packaged in light-resistant, sealed containers, such as aluminum foil bags or fiber drums, depending on the quantity. This packaging safeguards against light, moisture, and air ingress, ensuring product stability and potency.
