Shanxi Zhiqi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Shanxi Zhiqi Biotechnology makes starch derivatives and powdered excipients. The catalogue runs to around twenty-one items and centres on water-soluble starch, beta-cyclodextrin and brown dextrin, with microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide and glycerol alongside them. These are the carriers, anticaking agents, encapsulating agents and bulking agents used in seasoning powders, tabletted foods, drink mixes and pharmaceutical formulation.

The company was set up in 2017 at Gaoling in Xi'an, Shaanxi, and is a subsidiary of Xi'an Zhicheng Biotechnology. It is registered as a manufacturer rather than a trader and covers development, production and sales itself.
