Undersun Biomedtech excels in leveraging a multi-faceted approach to research and development as a leading plant extract manufacturer. Their core strengths lie in the following fields.
Extraction technology
Undersun Biomedtech employs a sophisticated process to extract bioactive compounds from natural sources, ensuring the highest quality ingredients. Here's a breakdown of their key technologies:
Cold Pressing
Ideal for oils: This method is primarily used for extracting oils from seeds, nuts, and fruits.
Gentle extraction: Raw materials are physically pressed without the use of heat, preserving delicate compounds and their beneficial properties, such as vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. This results in oils with superior flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.
Examples: Think of how extra virgin olive oil or flaxseed oil is produced – that's cold pressing in action.
Supercritical Fluid Extraction
Clean and efficient: This cutting-edge technique utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) in its supercritical state, where it possesses properties of both a liquid and a gas. This allows it to penetrate plant material and selectively extract desired compounds.
High purity extracts: SFE yields extracts of exceptional purity, free from residual solvents. It's particularly well-suited for heat-sensitive compounds that could be damaged by traditional methods.
Sustainability: CO2 is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly solvent that can be easily recycled, minimizing waste and environmental impact.
Applications: SFE is used to extract a wide range of compounds, including essential oils, omega-3 fatty acids from algae, and cannabinoids from hemp.
Solvent Extraction
Versatile and adaptable: This traditional method involves using solvents like water, ethanol, or hexane to dissolve and separate target compounds from plant material.
Continuous improvement: Undersun Biomedtech leverages advancements in solvent selection, extraction techniques (like microwave-assisted extraction), and solvent recovery processes to optimize efficiency, minimize environmental impact, and ensure the safety of their extracts.
Wide range of applications: Solvent extraction is used to obtain various compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and alkaloids, used in dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and functional foods.
microencapsulation techniques
Undersun Biomedtech utilizes various microencapsulation techniques, including spray drying, coacervation, and liposomal encapsulation, to create a diverse range of health ingredients. Here's how they apply this technology:
Protecting sensitive ingredients: Delicate compounds like probiotics, enzymes, and omega-3 fatty acids are microencapsulated to enhance their stability and prevent degradation during storage and processing.
Examples of Undersun Biomedtech's Microencapsulated Products
Microencapsulated Coenzyme Q10: Enhanced stability and bioavailability for improved heart health support.
Microencapsulated Probiotics: Protection from harsh stomach acid, ensuring targeted delivery to the intestines for optimal gut health benefits.
Microencapsulated Curcumin, MCT oil powder: Increased solubility and absorption of this potent anti-inflammatory compound.
Benefits of Microencapsulated Techniques
- Enhanced stability: Sensitive compounds are shielded from degradation caused by light, oxygen, and moisture, extending their shelf life and preserving their potency.
- Controlled release: The release of the active ingredient can be tailored to specific needs, ensuring optimal absorption and efficacy. This is crucial for targeted delivery in the digestive system or for sustained release over time.
- Improved bioavailability: Microencapsulation can enhance the absorption and utilization of nutrients by the body.
- Masking taste and odor: Unpleasant flavors or odors of certain compounds can be effectively masked, making them more palatable in food and supplement applications.
Fermentation
How fermentation is applied to different types of natural ingredients at Undersun Biomedtech:
01
Probiotics
Fermentation is essential for producing probiotics, the beneficial bacteria that support gut health. Specific strains of bacteria are carefully cultured through fermentation, ensuring their viability and efficacy.
02
Fruits and Vegetables
Fermenting fruits and vegetables can increase their nutritional value and produce unique bioactive compounds. For example, fermented black garlic has higher antioxidant activity than raw garlic.
03
Herbs and Spices
Fermentation can unlock the hidden potential of herbs and spices. Fermented ginseng, for example, exhibits improved anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Fermentation also offers other advantages for the extraction industry:
Sustainability: It's an environmentally friendly process that often requires less energy and fewer solvents compared to traditional extraction methods.
New product development: Fermentation opens doors to creating novel ingredients with unique functionalities and health benefits, driving innovation in the food and supplement industries.
Test Methods
You've carefully extracted this amazing compound from a plant. But how do you know:
What do you have? Is it the right compound, in the right amount?
How pure it is? Are there any unwanted leftovers from the extraction process?
If it's consistent? Will every batch be the same?
That's where these analytical methods come in. Undersun Biomedtech uses these methods to ensure quality, and ensure consistency.
- HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography)
- UV (Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy)
- TLC (Thin-Layer Chromatography)
These methods are often used in combination. For example:
TLC might be used to quickly assess an extract before HPLC.
UV might be used to quantify a specific compound identified by HPLC.
Undersun Biomedtech is working on the R&D, and manufacturing of different ingredients.
