Nutralighting Whole Mulberry-Source Industry Chain Products: Ultrafine Powder, Extract & Sanghuang

Since its establishment, the Nutralighting team has paid close attention to mulberry products. With more than 10 years of accumulation in the mulberry industry and resources from multiple mulberry plantations, the team has deeply developed the whole mulberry-source industry chain, mainly dealing in mulberry leaf ultrafine powder, mulberry leaf extract, sanghuang (Phellinus) and related application products, which are suitable for the development of meal replacement products, flour products, solid beverages, low-GI foods, compressed tablets and other products.

More than 10 years of accumulation in the silkworm-mulberry industry, laying out a new track in the mulberry-source bioindustry

Since its establishment, the Nutralighting team has relied on the factory’s more than 20 years of production accumulation in plant extraction to deeply develop the research and application of active substances from mulberry sources. Mulberry leaf extract, mulberry leaf ultrafine powder, sanghuang and related application products connect the whole mulberry-source industry chain from mulberry plantation, raw material extraction to formula implementation, providing customers in dietary supplements, functional foods, health foods and other fields with stable raw materials and supporting application development services.

Three core products, focusing on mulberry-source raw materials and application development

The following are the three core products developed by the Nutralighting team:

1. Mulberry leaf ultrafine powder: a medicine-food homology raw material, suitable for multiple dosage forms

Mulberry leaf ultrafine powder uses fresh mulberry leaves as raw material and contains DNJ, flavonoids, dietary fiber and other components, which can be used in the development of meal replacement products, flour products, solid beverages and other products.

• Process features: low-temperature ultrafine grinding technology is adopted, with fine particle size, which helps improve the dissolution rate of active ingredients; a complete quality inspection report is provided for each batch.
• Differentiated advantages: relying on the fresh leaf raw materials from Nutralighting’s collaboration mulberry plantation, the whole process is processed at low temperature, preserving the natural color of mulberry leaves; the crude fiber is fully crushed, giving a delicate taste.
• Dosage form adaptation: suitable for compressed tablets, meal replacement powder, mulberry leaf noodles, solid beverages, instant brewing powder and other product forms.

2. Mulberry leaf extract: rich in 1-DNJ, suitable for the development of multiple food types

Mulberry leaf extract uses the dried leaves of the mulberry plant (Morus alba L.) as raw material, and is produced through water extraction, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, concentration, spray drying and other processes, containing 1-DNJ, polysaccharides, rutin, chlorogenic acid and other components.

• Process features: water extraction plus multi-stage membrane filtration, concentration and spray drying technology is adopted, producing uniform and stable powder.
• Wide application scenarios: it can be used in the development of various functional foods or ordinary foods, including low-GI foods (steamed buns, noodles, etc.), snack foods (chocolate, biscuits, ice cream, etc.), dairy products, herbal tea beverages, compound solid beverages, coffee, etc.
• Dosage form adaptation: fully water-soluble powder, suitable for solid beverages, compressed tablets, capsules, oral liquids, dietary supplements, etc.

3. Sanghuang: cultivated on mulberry wood, with stable batch quality

Sanghuang contains sanghuang polysaccharides, polyphenols, triterpenes and other components, and is one of the raw materials attracting attention in the current functional food field.

• Process features: mulberry trees of more than ten years old from the self-owned mulberry tree base are selected as raw materials. Mulberry wood is rich in lignin and provides a sufficient nutritional base, so that the active substances of sanghuang accumulate more fully and the batch quality remains stable.
• Differentiated advantages: with mulberry wood as the cultivation substrate, the raw materials are more authentic in origin, and the traceability and batch stability of raw materials are improved from the cultivation end.
• Dosage form adaptation: suitable for the development of compressed tablets, capsules, solid beverages, compound powders, oral liquids and other products.

Three core technologies, focusing on quality and retention of activity

Low-temperature vibrating ultrafine grinding technology: a closed, low-speed vibrating collision grinding method is adopted to break the cell walls of mulberry leaves in a low-temperature environment, relying on the collision between materials and food-grade stainless steel bars, which reduces the high-temperature damage caused by high-speed blade grinding. This technology can solve such problems as 1-DNJ damage caused by temperature rise in traditional grinding, uneven powder particle size and rough taste. The resulting powder has a narrow particle size distribution and good fluidity, which helps improve the dissolution of active ingredients and is suitable for flour products, solid beverages and other application scenarios.

Gentle extraction plus multi-stage membrane filtration process: mulberry leaf extract selects dried mulberry leaves of the mulberry plant and adopts the water extraction plus multi-stage membrane filtration, concentration and spray drying technology, producing uniform and stable powder containing 1-DNJ, flavonoids, phenolic acids and other active substances, which is suitable for the development of various food forms.

Sanghuang cultivation process on mulberry wood of more than ten years old: mulberry trees of more than ten years old from long-term contracted mulberry tree bases are used as raw materials, and factory cultivation of sanghuang is carried out to improve the cultivation quality of sanghuang and pay attention to safety, with stable batch quality and strong authenticity of raw materials.

Four enterprise advantages, escorting cooperation

Whole industry chain layout: relying on domestic mulberry plantation resources, the whole chain from planting, extraction to formula development is controllable, ensuring stable supply of raw materials.

• R&D strength support: a research platform for active components of mulberry resources is jointly built with universities, and continuous research is carried out on the components and applications of mulberry leaves and sanghuang; technologies such as low-temperature vibrating ultrafine grinding and gentle extraction help preserve active substances.
• Strict quality control: standardized clean production workshops are adopted, quality control is strictly implemented, and COA and quality inspection reports can be provided.
• Complete supporting services: supporting services such as formula adaptation, sample support and customized development can be provided, offering customers mulberry-source raw material solutions.
