Modern extraction facilities and an SGS-certified laboratory ensure every batch meets international standards, providing your formulas the natural potency and stability they need.

Product Introduction

Our product is made from Malpighia emarginata fruit and properly processed to preserve bioflavonoids, anthocyanins, and organic acids. Advanced spray drying process standardises the Vitamin C content of this light red fine powder botanical concentrate. The whole-fruit matrix enhances absorption and plasma retention over isolated synthetic vitamins, which are quickly eliminated. Functional foods, beverages, and supplements benefit from the extract's oxidation avoidance and clean label regulations.

Third-Party Test Report

Full Quality Check: We work with the world's leading testing agencies, including SGS and Eurofins, to ensure our products' quality and safety. Every batch undergoes comprehensive third-party testing for pesticide residues (multi-residue panels), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), microbiological contaminants, and nutritional analysis.

Carbon-13 Isotope Authentication: The ratio of carbon isotopes can be analysed to differentiate authentic acerola extract from synthetic adulterants, indicating that the Vitamin C is produced from a natural botanical source and not from fermentation of corn-derived ascorbic acid.

Products Description

Acerola Extract Powder Advantages

Enhanced Bioavailability: Bioflavonoids and organic acids occur naturally together and act synergistically to aid absorption. Synthetic Vitamin C, however, is quickly excreted by the body.

Clean Label Solution: Substitute “Ascorbic Acid (E300)” in your ingredient list with “Acerola Cherry Extract” to satisfy consumer demand for recognisable, non-GMO ingredients while preserving functionality.

Dual-Function Performance: Serves as a source of nutrients and a technological assistance inhibiting lipid oxidation in food systems with antioxidant protection and documented ORAC values.

Production Process

Step 1 – Selecting the Raw Material: We select our certified organic acerola cherries from regulated cultivation bases, choosing the fruits at the pinnacle of ripeness, when the concentration of Vitamin C is at its highest levels, guaranteeing that your finished product begins with the highest quality of raw material.

Step 2 – Juice Extraction: Within 6 hours after harvest, fresh fruits are cold pressed to prevent enzymatic degradation and to retain the whole phytonutrient profile that natural extracts have over synthetic alternatives.

Step 3 – Concentration: The juice is vacuum concentrated at temperatures below 50°C to retain heat sensitive chemicals, reduce water content to allow for the addition of carriers and ensure the best possible stability.

Step 4 – Carrier Blending: To prevent hygroscopicity, we use certified organic maltodextrin in carefully calibrated ratios to preserve the natural qualities of the Acerola Extract Powder and keep your compositions free flowing throughout storage.

Step 5 – Spray Drying: Advanced spray-drying technology at controlled intake temperatures transforms the liquid concentrate into fine powder with particle size uniformity, locking in bioactive chemicals while attaining moisture standards below 5%.

Step 6 – Quality Testing: Each batch is tested with a full HPLC analysis, heavy metal screening and microbiological testing in our SGS-certified laboratory before Packaging to ensure the uniformity you want for regulatory compliance.

FAQ

Q: How do I store the powder so it doesn't get clumpy?

A: Store in sealed aluminium foil bags at a cold and dry place at 25 degrees centigrade with relative humidity under 60%. Use moisture-absorbing desiccants and re-seal shortly after opening.

Q: Is this a 1-to-1 substitution for synthetic Vitamin C?

A: No, you need to calculate according to the standard content. For example, 4,000mg of our 25% extract will provide you 1,000mg of Vitamin C. But you often require less total amount due to better bioavailability.

Q: What is the cause of colour variance across batches?

A: The natural anthocyanin level varies slightly with harvest seasons. This is indicative of true botanical origin (not synthetic spiking), while functionality is consistent within standards.

Q: Will this work in liquid formulations?

A: Yes, but keep pH below 4.5 and use opaque packing to prevent oxidation. We suggest performing stability testing in your unique matrix for shelf life performance optimisation.
