Alfalfa Extract Powder
Description
Premium Alfalfa Extract Powder - High-Quality 10:1 Concentrated Formula
Shaanxi Nuoyuan Biotech delivers pharmaceutical-grade Alfalfa Extract Powder sourced from Medicago sativa L. whole plants. We have a high-end 30,000㎡ plant, with an annual processing capacity of 20,000 tonnes of raw materials, and the spray drying method reaches a standardised concentration ratio of 10:1.
Each batch is rigorously tested by TLC on 5 different HPLC systems that are ISO 9001, Halal and Kosher certified. We have ready-stock inventory so we can send orders quickly, with flexible MOQs from sample amounts to commercial volume purchases. Each 25kg barrel includes pure brown powder rich in proteins, saponins and chlorophyll for nutrition and feed uses.

What Makes Our Alfalfa Extract Powder Different?
You are not simply buying ground alfalfa. At a 10:1 extraction ratio, 10kg of raw plant material will be concentrated into 1kg of powder, which will have a far greater density of bioactive compounds than simply milled herb.
The full plant extraction gives the whole phytochemical profile. This includes the presence of natural flavonoids, saponins and necessary amino acids that promote many biological activities.
TLC verification process ensures botanical identification and identifies any adulteration. This validation procedure is vital when acquiring ingredients for regulated markets.

Core Applications Across Industries
Animal Nutrition & Feed Formulation
Improved protein digestibility in your animal feed compositions. The natural chlorophyll concentration helps minimise ammonia emissions from limited animal quarters.
When supplementing their animals with our extract, ruminant farmers are seeing increased milk yields. Improves egg yolk colour in poultry operations using natural carotenoids.
Manufacturing Dietary Supplements
Tablet pressing and capsule filling formulators value the constant batch-to-batch quality. The powder has good flowability qualities necessary for automated manufacturing systems.
It has a full nutritional basis, containing vitamin K, vitamin C and B-complex vitamins and important minerals such as calcium and iron.
Development of Functional Food Products
Alfalfa Extract Powder is used in green superfood mixes and protein-fortified drinks by product producers. The earthy taste profile will blend with various plant extracts without becoming overbearing.
Our Three-Phase Processing Guarantee
Concentration Phase
We vacuum-concentrate the aqueous extract at regulated temperatures below 60 °C. This retains heat sensitive vitamins and provides the optimum solids level for atomisation.
To avoid sticking to the wall during the drying process, pharmaceutical grade maltodextrin was used as a carrier. This stage guarantees the highest powder recovery and the production of uniform particles.
Superior performance of spray drying
Our centrifugal atomisers provide homogeneous droplet sizes of 30-50 microns. Hot air at intake temperatures of 180°C meets the droplets, instantly evaporating the moisture.
Excellent reconstitution qualities were obtained and hollow spherical particles were formed by fast drying in 5-8 seconds. The outlet temperatures are kept at 85°C to avoid thermal damage.
Quality Completion
Fluidised bed cooling methods cool the powder quickly enough to avoid agglomeration. Multi-Stage Vibrating Screens Oversize particles are rejected with 95% passing 80 mesh.
Aluminium foil bags flushed with nitrogen protect against moisture and light. Every batch undergoes microbiological clearance before it is released to the warehouse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does 10:1 extract differ from whole herb powder?
A: Whole powder contains approximately 2-3% active compounds. Our 10:1 concentration delivers 10x potency per gram, reducing dosage size requirements.
Q: What causes color variation between batches?
A: Seasonal chlorophyll fluctuations in raw material affect shade intensity. All batches meet identical chemical specifications despite minor visual differences.
Q: Can this withstand tablet compression temperatures?
A: Yes. In normal compression procedures the powder is stable up to 90°C without substantial deterioration of the compound.
Q: Is your extract water soluble or oil soluble?
A: It's not totally soluble but will disperse in water. For drinks we propose emulsifiers or our special water dispersible grade.
Q: How do you stop microbial contamination?
A: After drying, UV sterilisation and steam treatment are performed. They are assembled in ISO Class 100,000 clean rooms under positive pressure.
Q: What's the typical lead time for 500kg orders?
A: Standard stock orders ship within 3-5 business days. Custom specifications require 15-20 working days for production and testing.
