Keep Ingredients Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of Water-Soluble Pure Propolis Powder in China. If you're going to wholesale bulk high quality Water-Soluble Pure Propolis Powder, welcome to get more information from our factory. Also, cheap products are available.

Water-Soluble Pure Propolis Powder is a standardized bee-derived functional ingredient designed for beverage, supplement, and nutraceutical manufacturers. Unlike traditional propolis extracts that require alcohol carriers, this spray-dried formulation disperses directly in water, forming a uniform solution without sediment.

The product is manufactured from natural propolis collected by honeybees (Apis mellifera) and processed using advanced water-soluble extraction technology. It contains naturally occurring flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenoids, which make it suitable for functional drinks, immune support supplements, oral care products, and clean-label formulations.

With customizable flavonoid content from 10% to 30%, the product supports both cost-effective mass formulations and high-potency premium product development.

Propolis is a resinous substance collected by honeybees from plant buds and tree exudates. Raw propolis contains wax and resin, making it poorly soluble in water. Traditional propolis extracts often require ethanol, which limits their use in beverages and clean-label products.

Water-soluble propolis powder is produced by removing wax components and converting active compounds into dispersible powder form. This improves solubility, reduces precipitation, and allows direct use in water-based formulations.

Typical active compounds include:

• Flavonoids
• Phenolic acids
• Terpenoids
• Aromatic acids
• Bioactive polyphenols

For formulators, the practical implication is that flavonoid content serves as the standardization and dosage-calculation anchor, while the broader polyphenol matrix contributes to the ingredient's functional and positioning value in finished products.

Propolis has a well-established track record in supplement capsules and tablets, where solubility is not a prerequisite. However, integrating propolis into beverage, gummy, or liquid formulations requires a fundamentally different ingredient form. Standard propolis extracts - whether raw resin or ethanol-dissolved liquid extract-present three recurring technical problems for beverage manufacturers.

Problem 1 - Ethanol-Based Extract Incompatible with Clean-Label and Alcohol-Free Positioning

Traditional propolis extracts rely on ethanol for dissolution. This creates labeling issues and restricts use in alcohol-free beverages.

Our Solution
Water-soluble powder produced without ethanol
Direct dispersion in water, juice, and tea systems

Problem 2 - Resin and Wax Fractions Cause Visible Sedimentation in Aqueous Systems

Raw propolis contains wax and resin components that separate in aqueous formulations.

Our Solution
Low-wax purification technology
Uniform dispersion without visible precipitation
Suitable for RTD drinks and clear beverages

Problem 3 - High Resin Content Creates Bitter Taste Difficult to Mask in Beverages

Traditional propolis has a sharp resin bitterness that requires heavy flavor masking.

Our Solution
Controlled extraction reduces resin compounds
Milder taste profile for beverage formulation
Lower flavor system cost

Our water-soluble propolis powder is manufactured through a five-stage controlled process designed to maximize flavonoid retention while achieving complete removal of the insoluble wax and resin fractions that prevent conventional propolis from dispersing in water. Each production batch is traceable back to the raw propolis intake lot, with batch-specific testing applied at the extraction, purification, and finished powder stages.

Step 1 Raw Propolis Selection: 

Natural propolis collected from controlled apiaries
Batch traceability available

Step 2 Low-Temperature Extraction
Preserves flavonoids and phenolic compounds
Avoids thermal degradation

Step 3 Wax Removal & Purification
Reduces insoluble resin components
Improves clarity in beverage systems

Step 4 Spray Drying Conversion
Transforms liquid extract into a stable powder
Improves flowability and handling

Step 5 Standardization
Flavonoid content adjusted 10%–30%
Batch consistency ensured

Water Solubility ≥99%
Flavonoids ≥10% (customizable)
Particle Size 80–120 mesh
Loss on Drying ≤5%
Stable pH Range 3.0–8.0

For formulation teams evaluating propolis ingredient options, the choice between conventional propolis extract and water-soluble propolis powder is primarily a function of the target dosage form and the solubility, taste, and labeling requirements of the finished product. The following comparison outlines where the water-soluble grade delivers a meaningful formulation or commercial advantage.

Superior Water Solubility

The powder disperses instantly in water, juice, tea, and other aqueous systems without alcohol. This allows direct application in RTD beverages and powder drink mixes.

Customizable Active Content

Flavonoid content can be adjusted from 10% to 30%, supporting different pricing and potency requirements.

Beverage-Grade Formulation

Low wax content and fine particle size improve clarity and reduce sediment in beverage systems.

Low Bitterness Profile

Compared with traditional propolis extract, the taste is milder and easier to mask in flavored beverages.

Clean Label Ingredient

No preservatives, artificial colors, or solvents. Suitable for natural product positioning.

Bulk Supply Capability

Stable production capacity supports both small batch testing and large volume manufacturing.

All benefits focus on wellness support and application value, avoiding therapeutic claims:
