Consistent quality, reliable supply, and a partner who understands your formulation needs. We are Fufeng Snotra Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. – 18 years in botanical extraction, from our own cultivation bases to our GMP-compliant manufacturing facilities. Our Natural Plant Extract portfolio includes Momordica Seed Extract (Momordica cochinchinensis (Lour.) Spreng. / Semen Momordicae), also known as 木鳖子提取物, Cochinchina Momordica Seed Extract, or木鳖果提取物. Derived from the dried mature seeds of the Momordica plant — a climbing perennial vine in the Cucurbitaceae family native to southern China and Southeast Asia[reference:33][reference:34] — this extract delivers a rich profile of natural bioactive compounds including momordic acid (木鳖子酸), gypsogenin (丝石竹皂甙元), oleanolic acid (齐墩果酸), α-elaeostearic acid (α-桐酸), amino acids, sterols, lycopene, and β-carotene[reference:35][reference:36]. The fruit is recognized as one of the richest natural sources of lycopene and β-carotene, containing highly bioavailable lipophilic carotenoids[reference:37][reference:38]. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, food products, and cosmetic formulations for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and nutritional support properties[reference:39][reference:40]. We offer ratios from 10:1 to 50:1, custom granulation, and private-label packaging – exactly what your formulation requires[reference:41].

Background: A North American functional beverage brand was developing a line of antioxidant-rich wellness drinks. They wanted a plant-based ingredient with high lycopene and β-carotene content to differentiate their products in the competitive market[reference:94].
Challenge: Their previous supplier could not provide consistent batch quality – carotenoid content and solubility varied significantly between lots, and the powder had poor dispersion in their beverage applications.
Solution: We supplied Momordica Seed Extract standardized to 10:1 with full COA documentation including TLC/UV assay, moisture (≤5%), heavy metals (≤20 ppm), and microbiology (total plate count ≤1000 CFU/g)[reference:95]. We provided custom 100-mesh granulation for better dispersion in their mixing equipment and private-label packaging in 5 kg and 25 kg sizes.
Result: The brand successfully launched their antioxidant wellness beverage across 15+ North American retail channels. Batch consistency has been maintained at ±3% variance across 20+ production lots. Their procurement lead time reduced by 25%, and they have since added a supplement SKU featuring our Momordica Seed Extract.
Momordica Seed Extract is rich in lycopene and β-carotene, which are highly bioavailable lipophilic carotenoids[reference:96][reference:97]. It also contains momordic acid, gypsogenin, oleanolic acid, α-elaeostearic acid, amino acids, and sterols[reference:98][reference:99]. The fruit is recognized as one of the richest natural sources of these beneficial carotenoids.
Our facility holds ISO9001, ISO22000, HACCP, HALAL, and Kosher certifications – these are factory-level quality management systems. For each batch of Momordica Seed Extract, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering botanical identification (TLC), assay (UV), moisture (≤5.0%), ash (≤5.0%), particle size (80-100 mesh), heavy metals (≤20 ppm), and microbiology (total plate count ≤1000 CFU/g, yeast & mold ≤50 CFU/g, E. coli and Salmonella negative)[reference:100]. Our products are produced using advanced spray drying technology with no artificial additives, colors, or preservatives[reference:101]. If you need product-specific third-party certifications (organic) or additional tests, please contact us – we can arrange these based on your order volume and target market requirements.
Typical starting points based on industry practice:
• Solid beverages / drink mixes: 5%[reference:102]
• Liquid beverages: 5%
• Dietary supplements (capsules/tablets): formulate to deliver target carotenoid content
• Functional foods / snack foods: 3-5%
• Skincare / cosmetic formulations: 1%-5%[reference:103]
We recommend working with your R&D team to determine optimal levels for your specific formulation and target market. We provide formulation guidance and technical support upon request.
