Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Flavors & Service
Everything you need to know about MOQ, dosage, documentation, custom blends, and shipping.
What products does Xi'an Xiantai Flavor Biotechnology manufacture?
We manufacture food-grade flavors for three application categories: Baking Flavors (134 SKU), Candy Flavors (98 SKU), and Seasoning Flavors (96 SKU) — 320+ total SKUs spanning fruit, dairy, meat, vegetable, herb, nut, coffee/tea, floral, vanilla/caramel, bakery, beverage, and mint families.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ is 5 kg across the full flavor catalog, accessible for R&D sampling, pilot batches, and small-scale production. Larger commercial orders are quoted on a per-requirement basis.
What is the recommended dosage of your flavors?
Most flavors perform reliably at 0.05%–0.3% in finished food applications. The exact dosage depends on the specific flavor, application, processing conditions, and desired intensity — our technical team provides guidance on request.
Do you provide COA, MSDS and certification documents?
Yes. Every batch is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), MSDS, allergen statement, and specification sheet. Halal certification is available across applicable carrier systems and natural extracts. Full traceability documentation is provided on request.
Can you develop custom or exclusive flavor blends?
Yes. Our R&D team develops bespoke flavor codes tailored to your application, processing conditions, dosage target, and regulatory requirements. NDA-protected, customer-owned formulations are supported.
Where is your company located?
We are headquartered at Baode Yungu International, Jinye 1st Road, Yanta District, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China — in China's most established hub for natural plant extraction and flavor chemistry. We have been manufacturing food flavors for more than 20 years.
What are the available forms (liquid / powder) of your flavors?
We supply both liquid and powder (spray-dried / encapsulation) carrier formats for most catalog flavors. The recommended form depends on your application, processing temperature, and label declaration. Liquid flavors are typically favored for beverages, confectionery syrups, and spray-on applications. Powder flavors are favored for dry mixes, seasonings, snack coatings, and heat-processed applications requiring shelf stability.
How long is the lead time for sample and bulk orders?
Sample orders typically ship within 5–7 business days from confirmed order. Bulk orders (≥100 kg) are usually dispatched within 10–15 business days. For custom-blend development, allow additional 2–3 weeks for formulation, pilot batch, sensory evaluation, and final approval.
Do you support private label or OEM packaging?
Yes. We support OEM packaging in standard formats: 1 kg / 5 kg / 20 kg aluminum or HDPE containers, with custom label printing available for orders above 50 kg. NDA-protected, customer-owned label designs are supported.
Which countries / regions do you export to?
We export to 60+ countries across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and the CIS region. Our documentation (COA, MSDS, allergen statement, specification, and Halal certificates) is formatted to meet the regulatory framework of each destination market.
How can I get a quotation?
Send us the flavor name, desired SKU count, target dosage, application category, and required delivery date via our contact form, or email catherine@xiantai flavorcn.com. We typically respond within 24 business hours.
Are your flavors suitable for clean-label products?
Yes. Our natural & clean-label capable portfolio uses botanical extracts, fermentation-derived ingredients, and reaction-flavor technology. Many SKUs can be declared as "natural flavoring" or "natural identical flavoring" depending on the regulatory regime of your target market.
