Strategically matching botanical active ingredients with the Netherlands' most demanding biotech, functional beverage, and clinical nutrition corridors.
The Utrecht Science Park is internationally recognized for translational life sciences and immunology research. Our ultra-purified botanical fractions—such as Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin and standardized tea polyphenols—act as active antioxidant cores in oral solid doses (OSD) and lipidic suspensions designed for cellular metabolic optimization.
Adjacent to Wageningen and the Central Netherlands agritech belt, local food product formulators are aggressively replacing synthetic azo dyes (E133, E102) with clean-label biological alternatives. Our vacuum-concentrated Phycocyanin E25 and microfine Purple Yam powders provide vibrant pigmentation with exceptional cold-fill stability.
With Utrecht's vibrant craft brewing, specialty functional beverage, and kombucha canning enterprises, ingredient solubility and clarity are paramount. Our water-soluble Instant Black Tea solids resolve turbidity issues, allowing automated nitrogen-dosed bottling facilities to achieve sparkling clear infusions without synthetic clarifiers.
The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA - Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit) enforces some of the European Union's strictest analytical testing protocols for botanical extracts imported through the Port of Rotterdam and Schiphol Logistics Hub. Heavy metals (specifically Cadmium and Lead bioaccumulation in Camellia sinensis and algae) together with multi-pesticide screens governed by BS EN 15662 are non-negotiable compliance barriers. Xi'an Vexli utilizes advanced supercritical and closed-loop hydro-ethanolic extraction towers that systematically fractionate out inorganic impurities, consistently assuring buyers that our heavy metal traces remain well beneath standard EU thresholds (Pb < 0.5 mg/kg, Cd < 0.1 mg/kg).
As the EU Novel Food catalogue continually reviews whole-plant derivatives, procurement teams across Utrecht increasingly favor botanical items that maintain an unassailable history of significant human consumption prior to May 1997. Our organic ceremonial matcha, instant tea powders, and genuine Dioscorea alata (purple yam) extracts sit cleanly inside recognized botanical traditional frameworks, avoiding tedious Pre-Market Authorisation bottlenecks and allowing brand agility in fast-moving European retail spaces.
One of the primary technical challenges faced by Food Valley product developers involves the denaturation of allophycocyanin and phycocyanin when exposed to pasteurization temperatures. Vexli's advanced micro-encapsulation techniques with protective polysaccharide matrix carriers ensure that blue spirulina extracts exhibit improved thermal kinetic half-lives up to 68°C in low-acid drink environments, directly resolving color deterioration problems encountered in contemporary plant-based yogurts and sports hydration beverages.

Yes. Every production batch allocated for the European Union undergoes multi-residue pesticide screening conducted in strict accordance with BS EN 15662 methodologies by independent laboratories like SGS or Eurofins. Furthermore, pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH4), and heavy metals are pre-tested to guarantee compliance with EC 2023/915 before sea or air dispatch.
Air express shipments (for time-sensitive clinical pilot batches or high-value active ingredients) arrive within 5 to 8 working days. Standard bulk ocean container shipments routing through Rotterdam port take approximately 28 to 35 transit days. We dispatch full batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA) and safety data sheets (MSDS) prior to arrival for fast quarantine release.
Absolutely. We operate oscillating granulators, pin mills, and high-energy micro-pulverizers capable of tailoring particle size distribution between 80 mesh (ideal for automated capsule filling with optimal powder flow) and 450–1000 mesh (ideal for ultra-smooth instant beverage suspension without grittiness). Tap density and bulk density can be customized during the secondary spray drying phase.
All Vexli botanical ingredients are 100% non-GMO and manufactured without ionizing radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization. We issue formal Non-Irradiation and Non-GMO declarations with every delivery, supporting your brand's clean-label and certified organic narratives in European retail supermarkets.
