Supplying pharmaceutical and functional nutrition laboratories in Split, Zagreb, and across the Adriatic with tested, validated bulk raw materials featuring HPLC-confirmed active fraction titers.
Flavonoids represent one of the most structurally diverse classes of secondary plant metabolites. Modern nutraceutical and pharmaceutical engineering demands precise chromatographic isolation of these benzo-γ-pyrone derivatives to yield reproducible bioactivity.
Flavonoids possess a characteristic C6-C3-C6 carbon skeleton consisting of two aromatic rings linked through a three-carbon heterocyclic ring. In commercial dietary supplements and dermaceuticals, maintaining the native configuration—whether as free aglycones (such as Quercetin, Apigenin, and Luteolin) or as O- and C-glycosides (such as Rutin, Hesperidin, and Isoquercitrin)—dictates intestinal permeability, cellular bioavailability, and resistance to thermal degradation.
Our extraction methodologies rely on multi-stage macroporous resin adsorption chromatography (utilizing food-grade styrenic polymers) to fractionate polar polyphenols away from non-functional cellulose, heavy pectins, and trace sugars. This achieves purities exceeding 95% to 98% by HPLC, minimizing excipient load during tablet compression or high-speed hard capsule filling.
"For modern formulators operating under European Union regulatory frameworks, crude botanical powders are no longer viable. Active therapeutic efficacy, shelf-life kinetic stability, and claim substantiation depend entirely on guaranteed chromatographic assay numbers and validated polyphenol-to-flavonoid ratios."

Navigating the stringent landscape of European health claims, heavy metal restrictions, and pesticide ceilings requires an accountability-driven primary manufacturer with comprehensive traceability.
Full compliance with European Union pesticide maximum residue levels (MRLs). Every extract lot is screened via multi-residue GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS across 450+ controlled agricultural compounds, safeguarding client brands against market withdrawals.
Heavy metal thresholds strictly controlled via Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) and Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (AFS). Lead (Pb) <3.0 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) <1.0 ppm, Mercury (Hg) <0.1 ppm, and Arsenic (As) <1.0 ppm are validated on every production batch.
We supply comprehensive technical packages including full Batch COA, Flow Charts, Non-GMO Statements, Allergen Declarations, BSE/TSE-Free Certificates, Residual Solvent Statements (ICH Q3C), and HALAL/KOSHER accreditations for simplified Croatian Ministry filings.
Split serves as the pharmaceutical, biotechnical, and marine-nutraceutical gateway of Dalmatia. From specialized contract manufacturers in Dugopolje industrial zones to advanced cosmeceutical developers in Split city, our flavonoid extracts meet targeted local manufacturing needs.
Dalmatia's demographic and Mediterranean lifestyle markets focus heavily on circulatory wellness. Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fractions (Diosmin 90% and Hesperidin 10%) are the gold-standard raw materials for regional Croatian laboratories developing OTC venotonic supplements and heavy-leg relieving tablets.
Split's position on the Adriatic coast has spurred innovation in hybrid anti-aging solutions. Formulators combine our Marine Fish Collagen Oligopeptides and Hyaluronic Acid with potent polyphenol-rich botanical flavonoids to formulate skin elasticity boosters that target UV-induced oxidative stress.
Regional beverage producers are enhancing fruit juices, sports drinks, and herbal tonics with water-dispersible citrus bioflavonoid complexes. Our spray-dried citrus and polyphenol powders dissolve without sediment, imparting functional antioxidant benefits while maintaining clarity.
Headquartered in Xi'an near the Qinling botanical corridor, Shaanxi Torzi Biotech Co., Ltd. operates as a vertically integrated extraction manufacturer rather than an intermediary broker. SGS verified with 23+ years of technical operational legacy.
With an expansive 12,447 m² modern facility and 89 specialized personnel, Torzi Biotech executes eight tightly monitored production phases: rigorous raw material botanical selection, counter-current extraction, high-efficiency vacuum concentration, macroporous resin adsorption, spray drying in pressurized HEPA-filtered cleanrooms, mechanical milling, homogenous micro-blending, and vacuum aseptic packaging.
Our in-house analytical laboratories are equipped with twin Agilent High-Performance Liquid Chromatographs (HPLC), Gas Chromatographs (GC-MS) for solvent residues, and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers (AAS) for micro-contaminant detection. This eliminates testing bottlenecks and guarantees that analytical certificates match every kilogram dispatched to European distribution centers.

Croatian wellness demand is undergoing an evolution from generic plant powders to high-potency bio-fractionated concentrates. Understanding trade channels and port dynamics ensures uninterrupted seasonal manufacturing.
Our European logistics architecture supports direct maritime container transfers into the Port of Split (Luka Split) or northern transit via Port of Rijeka. Consignments are backed by air express options (Zagreb/Split airports) for pilot trials and urgent formulation ramp-ups.
Consumers in Dalmatia are demanding transparency regarding excipients, silicon dioxide, and artificial binders. Our flavonoid extracts are processed without synthetic carriers, utilizing native rice-derived or organic maltodextrin aids only when specifically commissioned by client formulators.
In addition to pure active bulk drums, we support Split-based brand incubators with OEM turnkey solutions: hard-shell vegetarian capsules (HPMC), custom stick-pack sachets, and precision formulation blends ready for retail branding with full EU compliant labeling.
Common inquiries addressed to our technical sales and regulatory affairs divisions by Croatian QA directors, purchasing officers, and lab heads.
We do not rely solely on nonspecific colorimetric assays like Folin-Ciocalteu, which can be confounded by non-flavonoid reducing sugars. We execute high-resolution Reversed-Phase HPLC-DAD against pure reference standards (USP/Ph. Eur.), isolating individual target molecules (e.g., Quercetin aglycone, Rutin trihydrate, or Naringin) with distinct retention times.
For pre-stocked pharmaceutical actives and standardized mushroom extracts, air cargo delivery to Split (SPU) or Zagreb (ZAG) takes approximately 5 to 8 business days post-clearance. For bulk ocean consignments via Port of Split or Rijeka, transit schedules range from 28 to 35 days, including complete Croatian Customs (Carinska uprava) import documentation.
Yes. Shaanxi Torzi Biotech Co., Ltd. has undergone exhaustive on-site supplier verification and facility audits conducted by SGS Group. Our operational floor plans, cleanrooms, and sanitation procedures conform to ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 quality management certifications, backed by international KOSHER and HALAL accreditations.
To support Croatian R&D teams and academic research at institutions like the University of Split, we supply evaluation sample batches and maintain low pilot-scale MOQs starting at 1 kg for high-purity active monomers. Commercial production orders for standardized bulk drums typically range from 25 kg to multi-ton consignments.
Yes. We specialize in custom particle size distributions. Using pharmaceutical fluid-energy jet mills, we engineer powders down to D90 < 20 μm (600–800 mesh) or maintain uniform 80–120 mesh granules. This guarantees laminar flowability during encapsulation and prevents segregation in high-speed rotary tablet presses.
All bulk powders are sealed in double medical-grade polyethylene food liners inside hermetic, tamper-evident aluminum-foil bags or fiber drums with silica moisture-scavengers. Nitrogen flushing is deployed for easily oxidizable polyphenol compounds. Each delivery includes accelerated and real-time stability dossier summaries.
