Bridging the gap between agricultural raw honey volatility and high-speed automated production line stability.
Pure honey is historically renowned for its intense sweetening profile, humectant qualities, and prebiotic characteristics. However, in raw liquid format, honey presents massive operational hurdles for large-scale manufacturers: high viscosity, stickiness, variable water activity ($a_w$), crystallization, and complex cleaning requirements. As a result, the global food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical markets are shifting rapidly toward ODM Pure Honey Powder.
Raw honey is rich in fructose and glucose, which possess very low glass transition temperatures. When spray-dried without advanced engineering, it becomes an amorphous, highly sticky paste that causes equipment clogging. Our custom ODM processes utilize scientifically balanced carriers (e.g., Chicory Root Inulin, Gum Arabic, or Resistant Dextrins) to raise the glass transition temperature, ensuring a free-flowing, non-caking powder structure even in high-humidity processing plants.
Standard thermal drying methods degrade honey's inherent bio-actives like glucose oxidase, amylase, and catalase. Our proprietary low-temperature spray-drying and vacuum belt-drying systems protect these heat-sensitive enzymes. The resulting powder retains honey's unique functional profile, allowing brand owners to make structured claims regarding antioxidant capacity and digestive wellness.
Liquid honey undergoes moisture fluctuations and wild yeast fermentation over time. By reducing moisture levels below 3.0% and maintaining water activity ($a_w$) below 0.25, we eliminate microbial survival vectors. This yields a product with a stable 24-month shelf life. Reconstitution is instantaneous and sediment-free, rendering it perfect for dry drink mixes, meal replacement powders, and dry-mix bakeries.

Our operations are vertically supported by three corporate entities: Xi'an Tianben Bioengineering Co., Ltd., Botanical Cube Inc., and Shaanxi Tianben Kangyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Together, we operate 3 production bases covering more than 100 acres and process more than 3,000 tons of plant raw materials each year.
Our botanical extract portfolio contains over 200 plant extracts, supplemented by certified organic variations to satisfy the global regulatory demand for clean-label, environmentally conscious health solutions. Currently, our exports cover 60% of countries globally, serving more than 200 countries and regions and over 500 enterprise customers across multiple industries.
Foundational Excellence & Production Evolution Since 2012
Our premier production asset, the Sanyuan Factory, was established in 2012 in Sanyuan City, Xi'an, four years after our company was founded. In our initial operating phase, we faced the classical production curve issues associated with scaling up delicate bio-actives. Through massive capital investment in R&D, automated process parameters, and strict engineering controls, we modernized this plant into a state-of-the-art facility.
Powder collection, crushing, sieving, blending, and drying processes are isolated inside a dedicated Class 100,000 cleanroom. We maintain positive air pressure, HEPA filtration, and strict temperature/humidity control. Our certified personnel adhere to rigorous decontamination protocols, donning sterile gowns, active-air hoods, masks, and gloves. This ensures that every batch of pure honey powder is free from environmental pathogens and extraneous contaminants.

Understanding the molecular dynamics and crystallization profiles of dehydrated honey matrixes.
Formulating with honey powder requires deep technical insight into the balance between raw sugar solids and carrier matrices. Pure honey contains natural fructose (~38%) and glucose (~31%). Because fructose has a very low glass transition temperature of approximately 5°C, spray drying 100% pure honey without a structuring carrier matrix is impossible on commercial equipment.

How global product development teams leverage ODM honey powder across regions.
North American brands are eliminating high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and artificial sweeteners. Our ODM honey powder acts as a premium, consumer-recognizable alternative. Formulators use it in clean-label sports nutrition shakes, organic breakfast cereals, and protein bars to claim "sweetened with real honey" while avoiding manufacturing downtime due to sticky residues on equipment.
In the EU, regulatory frameworks focus intensely on sugar reduction and organic traceability. By utilizing Chicory Root Inulin as a prebiotic carrier matrix, our ODM formulations help brands maintain high Nutri-Scores while offering the prebiotic digestive benefits of soluble dietary fiber. Fully compliant with European food safety directives, our powder undergoes heavy metal screening and pesticide analysis.
In K-Beauty and J-Beauty formulations, honey is valued for its skin-soothing, antimicrobial, and moisturizing qualities. Combining our Pure Honey Powder with Aloe Vera Gel Powder or Cosmetic Grade Pearl Powder allows regional manufacturers to create dry powder face masks, waterless cosmetic tablets, and exfoliating enzymes that activate instantly upon water contact.
With high ambient temperatures and humidity in Latin America and the Middle East, liquid honey presents critical storage challenges. Our moisture-managed pure honey powder prevents microbiological fermentation in warm warehouses. It reconstitutes easily for industrial bakery glazes, traditional sweets, and instant botanical teas.
Ensuring absolute purity and compliance in a highly scrutinised global botanical market.
The global honey market faces a major issue: adulteration with high-fructose corn syrup, rice syrup, and cane sugar. At Botanical Cube Inc., we implement advanced testing protocols to guarantee raw honey authenticity before dehydration.
We align our manufacturing processes with global food safety standards, guaranteeing absolute traceability from beehive to final sealed powder containers.
Advancing clean-label dehydration techniques and carrier-free structural innovation.
We are researching advanced lyophilization parameters to bypass spray-drying entirely. Our pilot freeze-drying chamber tests honey crystallization without high carrier percentages, using specialized plant-derived proteins to create high-purity honey crystals.
Moving away from standard maltodextrins, we are expanding our custom prebiotic honey line. By combining honey solids with native chicory inulin and organic resistant starch, we help brands create functional wellness products targeting gut health.
Using advanced multi-nozzle spray-drying heads, we capture volatile honey aromatics inside a protective plant-derived matrix. This preserves the honey aroma profile, releasing it only when the consumer hydrates the product.
Detailed technical support for B2B procurement officers and formulation chemists.
Honey powder is naturally hygroscopic. To prevent clumping, we maintain the moisture content of our powder under 3.0% and store the finished product in moisture-barrier aluminum foil bags. We recommend that customers keep the product in a cool, dry warehouse below 25°C and 50% relative humidity, keeping the bags sealed until use.
We offer multiple carrier profiles depending on the application. For standard baking and functional foods, we use non-GMO maltodextrin. For prebiotic and clean-label projects, we use chicory root inulin or gum arabic. All our carriers are non-GMO, gluten-free, allergen-free, and clean-label compliant.
Yes. The carrier matrix increases the glass transition temperature, making our powder highly stable during baking or extrusion. While it undergoes normal caramelization and Maillard browning under heat, it does not melt into a sticky mass, maintaining smooth dough processing.
Every honey batch undergoes comprehensive traceability testing. We trace raw ingredients back to designated apiary sources and perform pollen analysis and stable isotope testing to verify the botanical source, preventing C3 and C4 sugar adulteration.
