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 Cowpea Extract (Vigna unguiculata (Linn.) Walp. / Phaseolus vulgaris), also known as 豆角提取物, Bean Extract, or Long Bean Extract. Derived from the dried bean of the cowpea plant — a widely cultivated annual vegetable across China — this extract delivers a rich profile of natural nutrients including protein, dietary fiber, saponins (bean saponins), starch, fatty oils, niacin, vitamins B1 & B2, and vitamin C (22 mg% in fresh beans). It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, food products, feed additives, and cosmetic formulations for its nutritional support, antioxidant, and digestive health properties. We offer ratios from 5:1 to 50:1, custom granulation, and private-label packaging – exactly what your formulation requires.

Background: A North American Functional Food brand was developing a plant-based nutritional supplement line. They wanted a clean-label ingredient with high nutritional value and natural saponin content to differentiate their products in the competitive wellness market.
Challenge: Their previous supplier could not provide consistent batch quality – saponin and protein content varied significantly between lots, and the powder had poor solubility in their beverage applications.
Solution: We supplied Cowpea Extract standardized to 10:1 with ≥98% water solubility, with full COA documentation including HPLC/UV/TLC assay, moisture, particle size (80-100 mesh), heavy metals, and microbiology (total plate count ≤1000 CFU/g). 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 plant-based supplement 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 feed additive SKU featuring our Cowpea Extract.
Cowpea Extract is a concentrated powder produced through extraction and spray drying processes at specific ratios (10:1, 20:1, etc.), providing higher concentration of active compounds per gram[reference:61]. Regular bean powder typically refers to simply dried and ground beans with no concentration ratio. Our Cowpea Extract offers higher nutritional density per gram, making it more cost-effective for supplement and functional beverage formulations[reference:62].
Our facility holds ISO9001, ISO22000, HACCP, HALAL, and Kosher certifications – these are factory-level quality management systems. For each batch of Cowpea Extract, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering botanical identification, saponin/protein assay (HPLC/UV/TLC), moisture, particle size (80-100 mesh), heavy metals, and microbiology (total plate count ≤1000 CFU/g, E. coli and Salmonella negative)[reference:63][reference:64]. Our products are produced using advanced spray drying technology with no artificial additives, colors, or preservatives[reference:65]. We also provide factory inspection reports and third-party test reports upon request[reference:66]. 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:
• Dietary supplements (capsules/tablets): formulate to deliver target saponin content
• Solid beverages / drink mixes: 5%
• Liquid beverages: 5%
• Functional foods / snack foods: 3-5%
• Feed additives: 0.5%-2% of feed formulation[reference:67]
• Skincare / cosmetic formulations: 1%-5%
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.
