5. Production Process

1. Sourcing Prime Raw Materials: We meticulously source high-quality Lycium barbarum fruits from reliable suppliers. These fruits are carefully selected based on their ripeness, origin, and quality to ensure maximum bioactive compound content.
2. Cleaning and Preparation: The harvested fruits undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove dirt, debris, and potential contaminants. Then, they are dried using gentle, low-temperature methods to preserve the integrity of the bioactive compounds.
3. Extraction and Purification: Employ a combination of advanced extraction techniques. Solvent extraction, often using ethanol or water-ethanol mixtures, is commonly used to dissolve the Lycium Barbarum Extract along with other beneficial compounds. Ultrafiltration and chromatography steps, especially high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), are then applied to purify the extract and isolate the pure Lycium Barbarum Extract.
4. Drying and Packaging: The purified Lycium Barbarum 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.
