China Kangtai Cactus Biotech Inc. (OTCBB:CKGT), a vertically integrated grower, developer, manufacturer and marketer of a variety of cactus-based products in China, announced today that it is expanding the use of its raw material product line.

Currently the company sells cactus raw material to manufacturers who extract pectin from cactus for use in jelly and lactic fermented drinks similar to yoghurt. Sales are now being expanded for the production of candy, ice cream and bakery goods.

Cactus contains stronger concentrations of pectin than regular fruits and vegetables. Cactus pectin extends the preservation period for certain foods and increases the elasticity of jelly and candy and stabilizes the emulsification process in producing ice cream.

Pectin is a structural heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of terrestrial plants. Mainly extracted from citrus fruits, it is used in food as a gelling agent particularly in jams and jellies. It is also used in fillings and sweets and as a stabilizer in fruit juices and milk drinks as well as a source of dietary fiber.

China Kangtai CEO, Jinjiang Wang, said, "We expect this expanded use of cactus pectin to increase raw material revenue streams and broaden shareholder value. Our research shows that Cactus pectin has multiple health benefits. For instance, it has been shown to reduce toxins in the human body. In addition, it has commonly been used in Chinese herbal medicine to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol. These benefits are well known to many Chinese consumers and this is why demand is growing."
