Melifera Debuts Five Natural Functional Ingredients at FIC2026 in Shanghai

March in Shanghai brings the promise of spring. From March 17 to 19, 2026, the 29th China International Food Additives and Ingredients Exhibition (FIC2026) will grandly open at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).

On the occasion of this industry, Melifera is proud to present five flagship natural ingredients—Microencapsulated Propolis Powder, Enzymatic Royal Jelly Powder, Microencapsulated Royal Jelly Powder, Honey Powder, and Cell Wall Broken Bee Pollen. Specializing in the refined deep processing of propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen, and honey, we are committed to providing customers with one-stop solutions from raw materials to applications. We warmly welcome both new and old friends to visit our booth and explore the infinite possibilities of deep-processed bee products together.

Deeply Rooted in the Bee Industry, Driving Value Upgrade through Technological Innovation

As an enterprise dedicated to the refined deep processing of bee products, Melifera insists technological innovation as its core driving force. To date, the company has established a comprehensive deep processing system covering the four major categories of propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen, and honey. We are able to provide customized raw materials and application solutions for diverse fields such as functional foods, health supplements, dietary supplements, and cosmetics.

ⅠPropoliscare^®  Microencapsulated Propolis Extract 061200

This product is propolis extracted by microencapsulation and lyophilization at 50-80% active matters. After lyophilization, it is milled for different particle sizes for different applications in Food, Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic industry.

Advantages

•  Retain activity and naturalness

With the process of lyophilization, we could maximize the preservation of the active principles and natural taste and aroma of propolis, avoiding the irritating taste and aroma and active principles loss caused by the conventional high-temperature extraction process.

•  Absorption and release 

Microencapsulation technology can improve product absorption and make the product have a differentiated release: slower and prolonged.

•  Attenuated taste and aroma

With a quality control method specially developed for this technology, in addition to offering the ideal concentration of propolis and active principles, the microencapsulation system of the product can attenuates the characteristic flavor and aroma of propolis.

•  Stable and not caked

With microencapsulation technology, the propolis extract could be homogeneous and stable without caking problems when stored and transported under normal temperature.

Application

Hard Capsule, Softgel Capsule, Tablet, Gummies, Spray, Cream, Ointment, etc.

Ⅱ Royalnutri^®  Microencapsulated Royal Jelly Extract 094100

This productis extracted from fresh royal jelly through microencapsulation and lyophilization. After lyophilization, itis milled for different particle sizes for different applications in Food, Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic industry.

Advantages

• Retain activity and naturalness

With the process of lyophilization, we could maximize the preservation of the active principles and natural taste and aroma of royal jelly.

•  Absorption and release

Microencapsulation technology can improve product absorption and make the product have a differentiated release: slower and prolonged.

• Attenuated taste and aroma

With a quality control method specially developed for this technology, the microencapsulation system of the product can attenuates the characteristic flavor and aroma of royal jelly.

• Stable and not caked

With microencapsulation technology, we could prevent the degradation of active principles of royal jelly when mixed with other ingredients, and prevent finished royal jelly products from moisture absorption, discoloration and oxidation during storage and transportation.

Application

Hard Capsule, Softgel Capsule, Tablet, Gummies, Cream, Ointment, etc.

Ⅲ Royalnutri®  Enzymatic Royal Jelly Powder 093200

This product is made from fresh royal jelly through enzymatic hydrolysis, freeze-drying, and crushing. It can be processed into different particle sizes for various applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries.

Advantages

• Active Ingredient Retention

Freeze-Drying Preserves Freshness: Vacuum freeze-drying technology ensures the retention rate of heat-sensitive substances exceeds 95%, preserving active components such as 10-HAD and B vitamins intact.

• Enzymatic Hydrolysis Activation:

Biological enzymatic hydrolysis releases small-molecule functional peptides (<1kDa),enhancing antioxidant activity by 40%. Hydrophilic groups are exposed, increasing hygroscopicity by 200%.

•  Efficient Absorption

Small-molecule peptides (molecular weight <1000Da) achieve a transdermal absorption rate of up to 50%.

• Versatile Application

Soluble in cold water: The hydrolyzate has extremely strong hydrophilicity, dissolves quickly in cold water, and causes no precipitation.

• Compatible with various aqueous matrices:

For beverages: Can be added to coffee/milk tea for invisible upgrading.

For skincare: Can be mixed into essences without stickiness.

For pharmaceuticals: Suitable for quick-dissolving oral preparations without residual medicinal taste.

Application

Hard Capsules, Soft Capsules, Chewable Tablets, Tablets, Powder, Granules, Gel Candy, Effervescent Tablets, Lotion and Creams, Etc.

Ⅳ Honeycare®  Honey Powder  071102/071103

Honey Powder

This product is made by pure natural honey through microencapsulation and lyophilization. After lyophilization,it is milled for different particle sizes for different applications in Food, Beverages and Pharmaceutical industry, etc.

Advantages

•  Retain activity and naturalness

With the process of lyophilization, we could maximize the preservation of the active principles and natural taste and aroma of honey.

•  Stable and not caked

With a quality control method specially developed for this technology, the microencapsulation system can prevent the honey powder and finished honey products from moisture absorption (caking problems), discoloration during storage and transportation.

Application

Nutritious Food and Drink, Functional Food Ingredients and Dietary Supplements, Etc.

 ⅤPollennutri ®Cell Wall Broken Bee Pollen 081100

This product uses pure natural bee pollen as raw material. Utilizing advanced broken-cell technology to maximize the release of active components in bee pollen, enhancing its bioavilability. Suitable for applications in the food, beverage, health care, and cosmetics industries.

Advantages:

• Low Allergenicity

Utilizing advanced broken-cell technology to produce an ultra-fine powder exceeding 400 mesh, with a broken wall rate >90%. This effectively breaks through the tough outer wall of pollen, significantly reducing the risk of allergies.

• Complete Nutrition

Releases dozens of natural nutrients, including proteins, amino acids, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides, with a greatly improved dissolution rate.

• High Absorption

The ultra-fine wall broken morphology significantly enhances bioavailability, achieving far superior absorption efficiency of key nutrients compared to non-cell wall broken bee pollen.

• High Bioactivity

Comprehensive biological activities—such as antioxidant effects, immune modulation, and auxiliary blood lipid reduction—are markedly enhanced.

• Easy to Compound

The fine powder is easy to compound and is widely used in premium nutritional foods, functional beverages, and skincare products to enhance product efficacy.

Application

Functional Food, Beverage, Health Supplements, Cosmetics, or Other Products with Specific Particle Size Requirements, etc.
