Rise of Central Plains —— Yuanhua Bio, Famous at Home and Abroad
Henan Yuanhua Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and development, production, and sales of biotechnology products. It is a key national high-tech agricultural industrialization enterprise, one of Henan Province's 20 key high-tech, high-growth enterprises, a leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization, and a key enterprise in Xuchang City.
"Yuanhua" is the style name of the "divine physician" Hua Tuo (Hua Tuo's given name was Hua Fu, style name Yuanhua). Using Yuanhua as the company name and Hua Fu (Hua Tuo) as the registered trademark aims to inherit the achievements of the master and carry forward the spirit of the predecessors.
Yuanhua Company was established in October 2001. After more than 5 years of hard work, Yuanhua Company has grown from nothing to a large-scale enterprise, rapidly developing and rising in the Central Plains, becoming famous at home and abroad.
——Over 5 years, Yuanhua Company has transformed from a manufacturing-oriented company to a research and development-oriented company, then to a trading-oriented company, and finally to a capital operation-oriented company;
——Over 5 years, Yuanhua Company's personnel have grown from a few individuals to several hundred, assets from a few million yuan to hundreds of millions, and products from one or two to dozens...
Currently, Yuanhua Company possesses internationally advanced fermentation equipment, high-polymer distillation equipment, CO₂ supercritical extraction equipment, capsule production equipment, and GMP standardized production workshops. The company's raw material planting base has passed the national GAP certification, and product production has all passed the QS national food safety certification, HACCP certification, US FDA certification, and ISO9001∶2000 certification.
In June 2006, Xuchang Yuanhua Company cooperated with the UK Asia London Fund to establish China Bio-Food Co., Ltd. in Jersey, UK. According to the enterprise integration and reorganization plan, China Bio-Food Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Henan Yuanhua Biotechnology Co., Ltd., was established in July of the same year. On September 7, 2006, China Bio-Food Co., Ltd. successfully listed on the UK's OFEX market, with the stock code cbfo, making Yuanhua Company the first Henan enterprise to enter the UK stock market.
Strive to Lead —— Abundant Fruits of Technological Innovation
Since its establishment, Yuanhua Company's biological research institute has completed numerous scientific research achievements, providing strong technological support for improving the technological content of the company's products. Among them, 6 achievements have obtained national patents, and 2 achievements have filled domestic gaps.
Yuanhua Company's ultra-low temperature cryogenic separation technology produces high-purity alpha-linolenic acid solution with a purity of over 90%. According to the search and novelty check by the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this technology has high technological content and low cost. It has applied for a national patent (Patent No.: 02117321.4), and the production technology and process are the first of their kind in China; the use of ultra-low temperature airflow spray drying production technology makes the alpha-linolenic acid oil encapsulation rate as high as over 90%, and the alpha-linolenic acid powder content, production technology, and process are also the first of their kind in China.
The allicin essential oil developed by Yuanhua Bio Company uses high-polymer distillation technology and supercritical extraction new technology. According to the analysis of the Henan Provincial Analysis and Testing Center, the allicin content is as high as over 90%. Another product, deodorized allicin oil technology, is also the first of its kind in China.
Using Ganoderma lucidum spore powder as a raw material and employing a unique special high-strength ceramic ultrafine particle low-temperature cell-wall breaking technology, the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder produced has a cell-wall breaking rate of 99%, with no heavy metal pollution during the cell-wall breaking process, ensuring the effective components of the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder.
Originating from Nature ——“Green” Products are Highly Favored
Gathering the spiritual energy of natural organisms and the essence of oriental green herbs, introducing internationally advanced processing equipment, combining traditional Chinese technology, researching and adopting unique new methods for the production of Chinese and Western biological products, Yuanhua Company ingeniously creates one "green" product after another.
Alpha-linolenic acid, refined from pure natural plants using low-temperature pressing and supercritical extraction new technology, is one of the important components of human body tissue cells. It participates in the synthesis and metabolism of phospholipids in the body and is converted into essential life activity factors DHA and EPA. Because it cannot be synthesized in the human body and can only be obtained from external sources, alpha-linolenic acid is needed daily, just like salt, and is an essential unsaturated fatty acid for the human body.
The Chinese population generally lacks alpha-linolenic acid in their diet, with daily intake far less than half of the amount recommended by the World Health Organization (one gram per day). Experts in the medical and nutritional fields in China have called for national legislation to specifically supplement alpha-linolenic acid, and national food and nutrition development strategy experts are actively formulating plans for large-scale promotion of alpha-linolenic acid.
For a long time, Yuanhua Company has been committed to the research and development of high-quality, high-purity alpha-linolenic acid products and actively promoting the industrialization of alpha-linolenic acid products.
Currently, Yuanhua Company produces 1,500 tons of alpha-linolenic acid solution and 500 tons of powder annually, making it one of the largest alpha-linolenic acid production bases in China. Yuanhua's alpha-linolenic acid series products use natural wild plants as raw materials and are refined and extracted using internationally advanced production equipment, high-polymer distillation, and CO₂ supercritical extraction technology. They have four major characteristics: high content, complete varieties, high quality, and 100% natural ingredients. They are rated as Class A products by the Scientific and Technical Information Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is the seed ejected and released by Ganoderma lucidum in its later developmental stage. It is very difficult to collect in natural environments; approximately 1,000 kilograms of original Ganoderma lucidum wood can produce only 1 kilogram of spore powder. Each spore is only 5-8 micrometers in diameter, but its nutrition far exceeds that of the parent Ganoderma lucidum.
Yuanhua Company's GAP Ganoderma lucidum planting base cultivates Ganoderma lucidum artificially in a way that mimics the wild environment. The spore powder extracted from it has several times the nutritional value of ordinary Ganoderma lucidum.
"Eating ginseng is not as good as eating garlic." The nutritious food garlic contains amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids, inorganic salts, and vitamins. In the 1980s, the most practical volatile oil in garlic was finally purified by scientists. For many years, garlic volatile oil has been hailed as "plant platinum." Yuanhua Company has been committed to the research and development of garlic oil series products for a long time, winning unanimous praise from customers at home and abroad.
In 2006, Yuanhua Company specially developed a series of "pure natural plant specialty nutritional oils" to help consumers improve their dietary oil structure and promote their health.
Yuanhua Company produces five types of "pure natural plant specialty nutritional oils," namely Hua Fu (Hua Tuo) brand alpha-linolenic acid nutritional oil, perilla nutritional oil, wild walnut nutritional oil, safflower seed nutritional oil, and pumpkin seed nutritional oil.
Perilla, a nutritious food, is a highly nutritious green food, with ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) content as high as 65% or more.
Walnuts, a nutritious food, are a highly nutritious green food. Huafu (Huatuo) brand pure walnut oil is made from 100% pure natural high-quality walnut kernels. It is made using ultra-low temperature pressing technology and refined to fully retain the nutritional components and active factors of walnuts.
Pure safflower seed oil, a nutritious food, fully retains the nutritional components and active factors of safflower seed oil, with a high content of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) of 80% or more.
Pumpkin seeds, a nutritious food, have an unsaturated fatty acid content as high as 90% or more. Huafu (Huatuo) brand pure pumpkin seed oil is made by selecting 100% pure natural high-quality pumpkin seeds, using ultra-low temperature pressing technology, scientific extraction, and refining.
Kangtai Citizens ——Dedicated to society and widely acclaimed
Over the years, Yuanhua Company's products have seen a year-on-year increase in market share, with products selling well in more than 20 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions across China, as well as Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, and exported to countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and New Zealand.
As the saying goes: "Good wine needs no bush." It is high technology that creates high-tech products, and it is the special functions of high-tech products that support product market competitiveness, guarantee product sales share, and have earned widespread social acclaim.
According to media reports: The research and development of α-linolenic acid, a project listed in the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" national key technology promotion plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology, has made a breakthrough. Henan Yuanhua Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has overcome the world's problems of raw material sources and purification production, producing Huafu brand α-linolenic acid series products, which currently have the conditions for industrialization and marketization.
Many domestic media have conducted special reports on the success of Yuanhua Company and more than a dozen medical research institutions in extracting α-linolenic acid from herbs they cultivated and planted over several years, filling the gap in the development and application of α-linolenic acid in China.
Experts from relevant departments in China have high hopes for Huafu (Huatuo) brand specialty nutritional edible oil and have given it very high praise. Experts have unanimously affirmed Yuanhua Company's addition of perilla, wild walnuts, peanut seeds, pumpkin seeds, and α-linolenic acid to edible oil, and believe that "Huafu brand specialty edible oil successfully solves the problem of nutrient loss and oxidation deterioration of edible oil under high-temperature cooking, and will surely usher in a new era of specialty nutritional edible oil."
