Areca Catechu Extract

Shaanxi Rebecca Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a professional integrated manufacturer and supplier of plant extracts, integrating independent R&D and standardized production. We adopt high-temperature drying and ultra-fine grinding production technologies to effectively retain bioactive components of raw materials and eliminate microbial contamination risks.

Our production base has passed ISO22000 and cGMP system certification, and every batch of Areca Catechu Extract undergoes multi-stage testing from raw material screening to finished product inspection. The in-house laboratory is equipped with advanced testing equipment including HPLC, ICP-MS and microbial detection systems, which can provide official COA certificates and support third-party authoritative testing audits. With a complete global logistics system and flexible customized service solutions, we can meet customers’ diverse specification requirements and ensure stable and efficient delivery cycles.

All raw areca seeds are sourced from standardized qualified planting bases, where soil pH value, organic content and pesticide application dosage are strictly controlled in a standardized manner. Each batch of incoming raw materials will be subject to impurity removal, appearance inspection and multi-item pesticide residue screening, and unqualified raw materials are strictly prohibited from entering the production link.

We implement a full-process traceability system for the supply chain. All production records from raw material origin screening to finished product packaging are digitally archived, which can fully meet regulatory audit requirements and ensure transparent and controllable product quality.

Solubility: The product has good solubility in water and ethanol, partial solubility in polar organic solvents, and is insoluble in lipid media. Its excellent water solubility greatly simplifies the preparation process of laboratory test solutions and veterinary premix products.

Stability Characteristics: The powder can remain stable for 24 months under sealed, cool, dry and light-proof storage conditions. It is worth noting that areca alkaloids are heat-sensitive active substances, and long-term exposure to an environment above 60°C will accelerate active component degradation. In addition, the aqueous solution of the product is sensitive to strong light and oxidative environments. To maintain optimal product activity, it is recommended to control the pH value between 4.0–7.0, as strong alkaline conditions will rapidly degrade active alkaloids.

Our production process starts with strict raw material inspection and cleaning, followed by uniform crushing and granulation. We adopt two-stage reflux extraction with food-grade ethanol-water mixed solvent, and the whole extraction process is controlled below 60°C to avoid decomposition of heat-sensitive areca alkaloids.

The crude extract is purified through multi-stage filtration including rough filtration, plate-and-frame filtration and membrane filtration to remove residual fibers and colloidal impurities. The clarified feed liquid is adsorbed and enriched by macroporous resin columns to concentrate active alkaloids and remove redundant polysaccharides and pigments. For customers with low-color requirements, we provide activated carbon decolorization treatment.

The vacuum concentration process is stably controlled below 55°C to maximize retain product bioactivity and realize ethanol recycling. After homogenization and solid content adjustment, the material enters a closed spray drying tower with precise temperature control to avoid damage to active ingredients. The finished powder is cooled, sieved through 80-mesh screens and mildly crushed to eliminate agglomeration.

All semi-finished products are tested in advance, and multiple sub-batches are evenly blended through a double-cone mixer to ensure consistent alkaloid content of the whole batch. Finally, all products will pass full-item QC testing including HPLC content detection, heavy metal detection, pesticide residue and microbial limit testing before aseptic packaging. Finished products are stored in a constant temperature and low humidity warehouse, with complete production records to support full batch traceability.

We implement full-process standardized quality control in strict accordance with cGMP and ISO22000 management system specifications. Raw material incoming inspection, in-process parameter monitoring and finished product full-item testing are mandatory inspection links for each batch of products.

Total areca alkaloids are quantitatively detected by HPLC, heavy metal indicators are tested by ICP-MS, and microbial counts are verified by plate counting method. All batches support independent third-party testing, and we can provide complete certification documents such as COA and MSDS for global trade clearance, providing solid quality guarantee for your supply chain.

Standard Packaging: We adopt food-grade double-layer inner plastic bags matched with aluminum foil vacuum bags or fiber drum packaging. Each package is clearly marked with batch number, production date and shelf life information. The multi-layer protective packaging can effectively isolate moisture and light, ensuring product stability during transportation.

Customized Options: We support customized packaging specifications, label formats and neutral packaging services according to customers’ experimental research needs and bulk order requirements, to meet private label customization demands.

Shipping Methods: Relying on a sound global logistics network, we provide air freight for urgent sample orders and sea freight for bulk bulk orders. We cooperate with professional certified carriers for heat-sensitive plant product transportation to ensure the products are delivered in good condition. All shipments are equipped with complete commercial invoices, packing lists, COA, phytosanitary certificates and other documents to speed up customs clearance.

Q1: Is this product applicable for human food or dietary supplement production?

A1: No. This product is exclusively used for scientific research and veterinary raw material development, and is prohibited for human consumption. Please use the product in compliance with local industry regulations.

Q2: What is the core detection index of the product?

A2: The core test marker is total areca alkaloids (including arecoline and arecaidine), which is detected and verified by HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography.

Q3: Why is high-temperature storage and use prohibited for the product?

A3: The active areca alkaloids are thermosensitive. Long-term high-temperature environment will cause degradation of active ingredients and reduce the effective content of the product.

Q4: Do you support third-party testing of products?

A4: Yes. All production batches have complete traceability records and fully support independent third-party laboratory testing and verification.

Q5: What certification documents can you provide for each batch?

A5: We can provide standard supporting documents such as COA, MSDS and ISO qualification certificates for each shipment to meet trade and testing requirements.

Q6: What are the main storage requirements for the product?

A6: It needs to be stored in a sealed, cool, dry and light-proof environment, with a valid shelf life of 24 months under standard storage conditions.
