Prickly Ash Extract

Premium Prickly Ash Extract for Modern Formulations

world-way biotech inc. brings you pharmaceutical-grade Prickly Ash Extract (Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.), manufactured through our proprietary extraction technology with over 30 years of botanical expertise. This extract comes from carefully chosen dried pericarps that were processed at our 5,000-ton plant. It contains standardised alkamides, especially hydroxy-alpha-sanshool, which is the bioactive compound that causes the numbing feeling. Our 67-hectare combined farming system meets ISO9001, FSSC22000, Kosher, and Halal standards and guarantees a steady supply all year. Our goods are sold in more than 60 countries and are trusted by about 500 businesses around the world. You don't just get an extract; you also get a full quality assurance system backed by our HerbEx Research Center and 42-member technical team, which includes 5 PhD holders.

This fine brownish-yellow powder can be ordered in flexible 10:1 and 20:1 ratios or with specific requirements for the sanshool content. It works well in a wide range of uses, from nutraceuticals to oral care formulations.

What Makes Our Prickly Ash Extract Different?

Our product goes through strict HPLC-MS testing to make sure it has the right amount of alkamide. This is different from commodity-grade extracts that have inconsistent bioactive profiles. This makes sure that the performance of the recipe is always what you expect it to be.

The extract has a mix of volatile oils that work well together, such as sanshool, limonene, and eucalyptol. When these chemicals are mixed together, they have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and warming qualities that raw materials just can't match.

Our water-soluble formula gets rid of the problem of particles that don't dissolve in water that many plant extracts have. In the end, this means faster R&D and better products for your business.

The ultra-fine particle size promises better dispersion in both water- and oil-based matrices, with 95% passing through 80 mesh. Your production team will be glad that the working time has been cut down and batch consistency has been improved.

Industrial Applications That Drive Results

Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements:

Make digestive health capsules and tablets that use the product's traditional warming qualities. The usual alkamide content lets formulations for gastrointestinal discomfort give the right amount of medicine. You can mix it with ginger or turmeric extracts to make the anti-inflammatory benefits stronger.

Oral Care Products:

Because hydroxy-alpha-sanshool naturally numbs, this ingredient is great for toothpaste, mouthwash, and throat lozenges. It temporarily eases pain in the mouth without using synthetic benzocaine substitutes. The ability to kill germs is an added benefit for gum health products.

Preparations for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM):

Include in current TCM products made to treat cold-dampness problems and ease pain. Our extract keeps the healing properties of traditional formulas while making them more uniform for foreign markets.

Functional Foods and Spices:

Come up with new hot foods that always have the same level of heat. With extracts, you can precisely control the flavour, which is not possible with whole peppercorns. It is used by drink makers to make health shots and digestive tonics that need clear, particle-free solutions.

Topical Formulations:

Make creams and balms to help with joint and muscle pain. The warming feeling along with the anti-inflammatory compounds have a double effect that people notice right away.

Quality Control That Protects Your Brand

Your image depends on how consistent your ingredients are. Because of this, our advanced analytical laboratory, which has HPLC-MS, GC-MS, and ICP-MS instruments, tests each lot.

We compare the active compound's name and quantity to well-known standards. Before anything ships, heavy metal analysis makes sure that the limits set by USP, EP, and ChP are met.

Testing for solvent remains takes away any worries about ethanol or acetone contamination. Our controlled extraction factors keep the volatile oil profiles the same from batch to batch.

According to the needs of your target market, microbial testing proves the absence of yeast, mould, pathogens, and total plate count. You get a lot of paperwork, like a COA, an MSDS, allergen statements, and non-GMO declarations.

Every year, our quality systems are checked by independent auditors from foreign certification bodies. Because this method is multilayered, you can focus on marketing while we take care of the science.

Sustainable Sourcing With Traceability

Our Prickly Ash Extract originates from carefully managed cultivation partnerships across premium growing regions. We maintain direct relationships with farmers to ensure sustainable harvesting practices that protect wild populations.

Full tracking starts at the farm level. Each batch has paperwork that connects the finished extract to a specific crop date and place of origin. This openness helps your efforts to report on sustainability and build trust with customers.

The integrated supply chain approach gets rid of middlemen who might lower the quality of the product. We keep bioactive integrity and lower the risk of contamination from harvesting to extraction in our controlled centers.

Our purchasing team regularly checks out growing bases in person. This hands-on method makes sure that only mature pericarps with the right amount of alkamide go into production, which lowers your costs per kilogram.

Flexible Manufacturing For Your Unique Needs

Standard specs are useful for many things, but your new idea might need to be changed. You and our expert team work together to come up with custom concentration levels and particle size distributions.

Need a certain amount of hydroxy-alpha-sanshool for study purposes? We can standardise extracts to meet your exact needs and include scientific confirmation. Need a version that doesn't dissolve in oil for makeup use? Our formulation experts will adjust the extraction parameters to get the best results.

As little as 25 kg is needed to place an order, so it's reasonable to test the market before going full-scale. Due dates for your project will stay on track with our 10-day lead time.

OEM and private label services include more than just supplying ingredients. Using our FSSC22000-certified facilities, we can help with all stages of product creation, from coming up with an idea to making the finished product.

FAQ

Q: How does the amount of alkamide affect how strong the tingly feeling is?

A: The amount of numbing power is directly related to the amount of alkamide present, especially hydroxy-alpha-sanshool. By changing the amount of our standardised extracts you use in your recipe, you can fine-tune specific sensory experiences, ranging from a light warmth to a strong tingling.

Q: If I heat the bioactive chemicals, will they be destroyed?

A: In normal settings, the alkamides are very stable at room temperature. Normal pasteurisation (below 85°C) keeps the action. We suggest post-thermal addition or microencapsulation for uses that need to be processed at high temperatures to get the most absorption.

Q: Can this product be used to make clear drinks?

A: Yes. When mixed with water, our water-soluble extract completely dissolves without any sediment forming. Because of this, it works great for functional drinks, health shots, and other clear liquid uses where it's important to be able to see clearly.

Q: What makes this different from just grinding up dried prickly ash?

A: Raw powder has random active ingredients and fibre that doesn't dissolve. Our extraction method increases the concentration of bioactives by 10–20 times, gets rid of inactive material, and makes the strength consistent. You can count on consistent performance with much lower dosage needs.

Q: How do you make sure that heavy metals used in food are safe?

A: Lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury are checked for in each batch using an ICP-MS. Results must meet the toughest international standards (FDA and EU rules) before they can be made public. Our cultivation partners stay away from high-risk farming places, which adds to the protection upstream.
