[ Page 18 ] Supply Chain

Every batch of Bacospore® is traceable from strain to shelf.

Because Bacospore® is a fermentation-derived probiotic rather than a botanical extract, its supply chain begins with culture banking and seed preparation, not agricultural cultivation. Star Hi Herbs manages strain maintenance, fermentation, downstream processing, testing and finished-product release within one integrated system.

01 · Journey

Six controlled stages.

01 · Stage

Authenticated strain bank

Stable cultures maintained at -80 °C under qualified microbiologist supervision. Protects strain identity and long-term genetic stability before production begins.

02 · Stage

Seed culture preparation

Selected culture developed through controlled seed preparation. Laminar-flow units, orbital shakers, incubators, deep freezers and laboratory centrifuges in designated upstream zones.

03 · Stage

Controlled fermentation

Seed fermenters and two 15 KL production fermenters. Temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen monitored and recorded. Upstream and downstream operations kept in dedicated zones.

04 · Stage

Recovery and spray drying

Centrifugal recovery followed by spray drying converts fermented material into a stable probiotic powder.

05 · Stage

Blending and standardization

Blending, milling and sifting ensure powder uniformity and consistent viable spore distribution. Bacospore® 300B standardized to ≥300B viable spores/g by pour plate.

06 · Stage

Testing, release and delivery

Physical, potency, heavy-metal and microbiological release specifications. Batch documentation and packaging matched to strain, blend and intended shelf life.
