Black Wolfberry Extract Advantages

Superior Antioxidant Capacity: Our extract boasts a validated ORAC value of over 50,000 μmol TE/100g, providing you with the most powerful free-radical scavenging ingredient for anti-aging formulas that out-perform blueberry and acai equivalents.

Natural pH-Indicator Functionality: The unique petunidin-based anthocyanin profile creates stunning visual transformations in your beverage formulations, offering a clean-label alternative to synthetic Blue No. 1 that also adds functional benefits.

Better Bioavailability: Our extract contains acylated anthocyanins which are 40% more stable in gastric digestion than non-acylated anthocyanins, leading to increased absorption and improved efficacy in your finished products.

Thermostable Formulation Support: While sensitive anthocyanin sources degrade rapidly, our extract retains 85% potency under pasteurisation conditions, prolonging shelf life and minimising processing constraints.

Dual-Function Ingredient: This single, multipurpose extract replaces both a synthetic colourant and a separate antioxidant ingredient, improving cost effectiveness and simplifying your ingredient deck.

Production Process

Step 1 – Raw Material Selection and Preparation: We choose the highest quality Lycium ruthenicum berries only from our certified organic high-altitude plantation grounds, hand-picking at the peak of its anthocyanin content. The extraction is only performed on berries with moisture content <12% and intact peel integrity.

Step 2 – Water Extraction under Controlled Conditions: Fresh berries are gently water-extracted at controlled temperatures (45-55°C) using our proprietary countercurrent extraction method. Result: Maximum anthocyanins and preservation of heat sensitive proanthocyanidins without degradation.

Step 3 – Membrane filtering and Concentration: The crude extract is filtered by multi-stage ceramic membrane filtration (10kDa cutoff) at our 100,000 level purification workshop and then vacuum concentrated. Result: Removal of tannins and proteins that cause bitterness, achieving concentrated liquid with 20-fold potency increase.

Step 4 – Spray Drying and Standardisation: The concentrated extract is spray dried at low temperature using maltodextrin as carrier. Real time HPLC monitoring allows exact standardisation of anthocyanins. Consistent fine powder with 25% anthocyanin content and optimum flowability.

Step 5 – Quality Testing and Packaging: All production lots are rigorously tested in our SGS-certified laboratory prior to packaging in nitrogen-flushed double layer PE bags inside fibre drums. Products with 24 months certified stability and comprehensive traceability documentation.
