Explore our highly stable, premium raw materials designed for advanced functional products.
Lycopene, a lipophilic carotenoid primarily extracted from ripe tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), is globally recognized as one of the most potent natural antioxidants. However, its molecular structure presents significant challenges for industrial application. In its native state, lycopene is highly insoluble in water, susceptible to thermal degradation, and easily oxidized when exposed to air, light, and processing shear.
To overcome these limitations, advanced Microencapsulation Technology has become the gold standard. Lycopene Beadlets and Cold Water Dispersible (CWD) Powders utilize a protective matrix to wrap individual lycopene micro-droplets. This physical barrier prevents interaction with environmental stressors, prevents recrystallization, and converts a hydrophobic pigment into a free-flowing, stable, and highly bioavailable ingredient suitable for diverse application matrixes.

Providing industrial-scale agricultural sourcing and advanced food ingredients since 2005.
Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd. established in 2005 is a professional supplier of foods and food ingredients in China. We have one perfect mechanism including raw materials supplying, production, sales, after-sales service to ensure to supply the qualified products to the customers. Some of our core products we are handling are vegetable proteins, fruit and vegetable juice and purees, FD/AD fruit and vegetables, plant-based products and various food ingredients and additives.
Why Choose Us
As a certified EU & NOP organic products supplier with more than 20 years experiences in the organic food fields, we have been ranked the largest exporter of the organic tomato paste in China for many years. We have our own organic farms and processing facilities in different provinces in China to ensure that our products strictly comply with organic standards.
Our Products
It is well known that more and more people care to take the healthy, safe and nutritious foods. The foods with the high protein, high fiber, low calorie, Vegan, GMO free, gluten free and even Keto friendly are more popular. So above requirements bring us to one new world. With our good experience in the organic fields, we also successfully explore the products with such special characters to meet the customer requests. We have the confidence that this field would be one wide potential market full of chance.
Our Business
We have established long-term and stable business cooperation with many customers around the world and have won the good reputation there. It is our honor to be one qualified supplier certified by Nestle and other world famous companies. We would like to continue to provide our best service to the customers to share the pleasure in the cooperation.
Our Purpose & Objectives
Our purpose: to provide customers with healthy and safe products, to provide customers with the most intimate service. Survival by quality, development by characteristics, so as to form a fast and efficient management team and quality traceability system. To achieve the purpose of "character, food, conscience, love".
Our Objectives: to synchronize with environmental protection, with health, gather wisdom, seek common development, and build an excellent enterprise.
How our vertical integration enables competitive, direct-to-factory pricing structures without quality concessions.
Global raw material buyers and procurement heads in the health foods sector often face a strict challenge: sourcing stable Lycopene Beadlets that fit within budget constraints while satisfying strict quality guidelines (HACCP, ISO, organic certifications). In the marketplace, "cheap" often translates to low active-ingredient assays, poor thermal stability, or solvent residues. We resolve this conflict through industrial integration.
Because Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd. stands as a premier agricultural exporter and a major processor of tomato products in China, we control the upstream supply chain. By managing the farms and processing plants directly, we source raw materials with minimal intermediaries. We utilize optimized, large-scale spray-drying and microencapsulation towers. These automated production cycles yield highly competitive cost structures. This ensures that our "Cheap" Lycopene Beadlets match the physical stability, dissolution profile, and purity levels of top tier global manufacturers.
"We leverage raw tomato extraction directly at the source. This vertical synergy cuts baseline production costs by 15-20% compared to processors relying on third-party raw paste imports."
Our Lycopene CWD Powder and Beadlets are subject to rigorous analytical controls:
This commitment is backed by our status as a qualified Nestlé supplier. We strictly monitor product lots through a full traceability mechanism from the soil of our organic farms to the final sealed packaging drum.
Developing advanced molecular structures and environmental protections for the next generation of food additives.
Transitioning from traditional gelatin matrices to modified food starches derived from sustainable sources (e.g., organic pea starch). This development accommodates clean-label demands and simplifies global distribution in vegetarian markets.
Reducing the droplet size of active lycopene inside the CWD powder below 150 nm. This technique ensures high transparency in functional waters and energy beverages, eliminating cloudy residues and sedimentation.
Co-encapsulating natural lycopene with natural Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) and Selenium. This creates a multi-layered antioxidant defense matrix that increases raw-ingredient shelf-life and offers greater protection against cellular free radicals.
Clear, precise answers to technical questions raised by quality assurance and product development teams.
Our cost advantage is derived from scale and geographic integration. As one of China's primary organic tomato paste exporters, we eliminate the need for third-party raw paste brokers. We control the extraction, purification, and microencapsulation steps in-house. This continuous process reduces material handling costs and improves energy efficiency, saving up to 25% on manufacturing overhead. These savings are directly passed on to our global volume buyers.
Our CWD powder contains active lycopene molecules suspended within a food-starch matrix. When added to water, the outer starch layer dissolves, releasing the micro-dispersed lycopene droplets. The resulting dispersion forms a stable, uniform emulsion without oil droplets floating on the surface (ringing) or forming bottom sediments. This makes it ideal for ready-to-drink functional beverages, milk-powders, and instant beverage mixes.
Yes. Our Beadlet variety uses a double-shell wall formulation designed for high compressibility. The matrix absorbs compression shear during tableting, preventing the active lycopene core from rupturing. This ensures high stability throughout the product's shelf-life and prevents tablet discoloration or oxidation.
We are a certified EU Organic & NOP (National Organic Program, USA) supplier. We maintain strict control over our farming practices, banning chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and GMOs. Our tracing protocols follow EU and US standards, which is verified by independent, third-party certification bodies.
We operate under an integrated quality traceability mechanism. Each batch of Lycopene Beadlets / CWD is linked to specific production lines, raw materials, and processing parameters. If a quality issue is identified, we can trace the batch to its origins within 24 hours. We provide full COAs, HPLC test reports, and allergen statements for every shipment.
