GOLDEN FLOURISH FIBROIN

• Natural & Clean-Label: The ingredient contains no synthetic additives or preservatives. It is derived entirely from natural sources – silk cocoons and cassava leaves – using food-grade processes. It meets clean-label expectations: non-GMO (silkworms fed on mulberry leaves, cassava naturally non-GMO), and no chemical solvents remain in the final product (water-based extraction). For supplement use, it’s free of common allergens like dairy, soy, or gluten (cassava is naturally gluten-free, and silk protein is not among major allergen classes).
• Detoxified and Safe: Cassava leaves in raw form contain cyanogenic compounds that can release cyanide. ZUBB Biotech’s process ensures these are removed to safe levels per food safety standards. Laboratory analyses confirm that residual HCN (hydrogen cyanide) content is far below regulatory limits, so the extract is safe for human consumption. Toxic heavy metals and pesticide residues are also tested, given the agricultural origin – all within permissible limits due to careful sourcing and processing. Silk fibroin, having had allergenic sericin removed and being a pure protein, is biocompatible and has no known toxicity (indeed, silk fibroin has FDA approval for medical use due to its safety).
• Quality Certifications: Production takes place under certified facilities. ZUBB Biotech operates with ISO 22000 / HACCP for food safety and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) for both food and cosmetics ingredients. Each batch of Golden Flourish Fibroin comes with a Certificate of Analysis confirming active content, microbiological purity (tested for absence of pathogens), and other quality metrics (moisture content, ash, etc.). The product can be supplied with Halal certification upon request, as both silk protein and cassava are permissible and the enzyme used is non-porcine (important for markets in Southeast Asia and Middle East). It’s also Kosher-certifiable.
• Regulatory Compliance: In cosmetics, fibroin hydrolysate has an established INCI name (“Hydrolyzed Silk” or “Fibroin Hydrolysate”) and a history of safe use, easing formula registration. Cassava leaf extract would typically be listed as Manihot Esculenta Leaf Extract – a plant extract that is generally permitted. ZUBB provides supporting documents like MSDS and any necessary toxicology summaries for regulatory dossiers. For dietary supplements, silk fibroin peptides have been consumed in traditional East Asian remedies and modern trials (e.g. for diabetes management), supporting their novel food acceptance with proper documentation. Cassava leaf has traditional food use in Africa/Asia (often as cooked vegetable), which bolsters its acceptance; in fact, its nutritional benefits in addressing malnutrition are well-documented. Golden Flourish Fibroin as a combined powder can be presented to regulators with these precedents, and ZUBB can assist clients with any necessary GRAS/self-affirmation dossiers or local FDA filings.
• “Free-From” Claims: Brands formulating with this ingredient can leverage desirable claims: Chemical-free, Cruelty-free (silk cocoons used after silk reeling, no harm beyond traditional sericulture; no animal testing in development), No artificial hormones or antibiotics (unlike some animal collagen sources), and Non-allergenic (silk protein is naturally hypoallergenic when purified). It is also veggie-friendly – while silk is from silkworms (an insect), it is not an animal flesh product; many consumers who avoid bovine or porcine ingredients may accept silk as a more ethical alternative (though strict vegans may not – so “vegetarian” but not “vegan” claim would be accurate). The cassava component is plant-based and sustainably sourced.
  

All these points ensure Golden Flourish Fibroin meets the scrutiny of brand safety teams and international regulations. With robust documentation and a clean safety profile, product developers can proceed with confidence to incorporate this innovative ingredient.
