Elderberry Powder Supplier

Shaanxi  hongda's elderberry extract powder is extracted from Sambucus Nigra L. using the state-of-the-art ethanol-water extraction and membrane ultrafiltration method. This is an 80 mesh pass deep purple fine powder with excellent water solubility for many applications. Each batch is also tested for heavy metals, pesticide residues and microbes. Standardised to include 10-25% anthocyanins (HPLC validated). Unlike simple fruit powders, our concentrated elderberry extract is standardised for constant quantities of bioactives to provide predictable effectiveness for your formulations. This addresses the industrial dilemma of variation in raw materials and economic adulteration.

Elderberry Fruit Extract Advantages

Potency Guarantee Standardisation – Our HPLC testing process assures we only use real elderberry anthocyanins and excludes inferior substitutes like black rice or peanut skin extracts that would diminish the potency.

Enhanced Thermal Stability: Our extract is designed for use in functional confectionery applications and is stable to 120°C without any loss of pigment integrity, providing a bright purple colour throughout processing.

Great Solubility Profile: Selected carrier matrices provide clear solubility in liquids without sedimentation, ideal for immune syrups and RTD shots with visual impact.

High ORAC Value : Our extract offers a high antioxidant capacity with an ORAC value over 5,000 µmole TE/g enabling significant consumer advantages beyond the realm of simple nutrition claims.

Product Specification

Use of Elderberry Fruit Extract

Functional Gummies and Soft Chews: Our extract’s thermal stability is compatible with high temperature pectin processing, ensuring colour stability and constant immune support in consumer friendly forms.

Clinical Immune Support Formulations: Excellent for syrups & RTD shots, our acidic pH-stable extract offers rich red-purple colouration that consumers associate with potency and avoids bottle neck ringing.

Nutraceutical Capsule Combinations Our extract is designed to flow well on high-speed encapsulation equipment, combining with zinc, vitamin C and echinacea without caking problems.

Beverage Fortification Systems: Clear-soluble grades for clear beverage applications and standard grades for smoothies, functional waters and wellness beverages fortified with natural colour and bioactives.

Third Party Test Report

Independent Verification: Our product is rigorously tested by third-party organisations like SGS and Eurofins, ensuring transparent quality assurance you can trust.

Pesticide Residue Testing: All test results are non-detectable and over 500 pesticide chemicals are included in the test under EU and USDA organic requirements.

Heavy Metal Screening: We test our goods at independent labs to make sure they satisfy tight criteria for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury, with findings often much below the legal levels.

Microbial Safety Verification: Third-party testing ensures safe goods for your customers with verification of total plate count, yeast, mould, E.coli and Salmonella.

Manufacturing Process

Step 1 – Raw Material Selection: We use high-quality Sambucus nigra berries for Elderberry Fruit Extract from certified organic planting bases and examine every batch for maturity and anthocyanin content. The result: Only berries that pass high quality standards proceed to extraction.

Step 2 – Thermal Processing: The berries are subjected to a regulated heating process to remove the cyanogenic glycosides naturally present in the raw fruit. Safe, non-toxic raw material, ready for extraction.

Step 3 – Ethanol-Water Extraction: With optimised solvent ratios we extract bioactive chemicals and remove sugars and fibres in numerous cycles. Concentrated liquid with high anthocyanin and polyphenol content.

Step 4 - Membrane Ultrafiltration: Separation and purification of target substances using advanced filtration technology based on molecular weight. Result: Purified extract with higher bioactive content.

Step 5 - Spray Drying: Concentrated liquid is spray dried with suitable carriers at regulated temperature into a fine powder. Result: Stable free-flowing powder with retained bioactivity.

Step 6 - Quality Testing All batches undergo rigorous testing including HPLC identification of anthocyanins, heavy metal testing and microbiological testing. Certificate of Analysis showing conformance to specification.

FAQ

Q: Why are UV tested items cheaper than HPLC tested products?

A: UV testing is non-specific for all pigments and hence may include adulterants. HPLC tests for just the real anthocyanins of elderberry. HPLC verified items are more expensive but they are guarantyd to be genuine and effective.

Q: Is your extract safe with respect to cyanide?

A: Of course. The heat processing technique we use safely neutralises any cyanogenic glycosides in raw berries, thus the resulting extract is absolutely safe for eating!

Q: Can your powder work in clear beverages?

A: Standard spray-dried versions may cause slight turbidity. For transparent applications, request our carrier-free grades specifically engineered for clear solubility.

Q: How does pH affect product color?

A: Anthocyanins act as natural pH indicators. Acidic conditions (pH<3.5) maintain vibrant red-purple color, while neutral or alkaline environments cause dull blue-grey shifts. We recommend acidic formulations for optimal stability.

Q: What storage conditions ensure maximum shelf life?

A: Store in vacuum-sealed aluminum foil bags at temperatures below 25°C in dry conditions. Proper storage extends shelf life to 24-36 months. Once opened, reseal under nitrogen and use promptly.
