Product Introduction

Organic bilberry powder is made from the berries of Vaccinium myrtillus L. that are picked in the natural, unspoilt areas of Northern Europe. Shaanxi hhongda's bilberry dark purple-red powder contains a minimum of 25% anthocyanins as tested by HPLC and has the typical 15-peak fingerprint of authentic bilberry. Our bilberry extract is extracted in a specific way with ethanol-water, unlike regular blueberry extracts, to preserve the sensitive anthocyanosides and remove carbohydrates. The extract was well soluble in water and shown significant antioxidant capacity with high ORAC values.

Third Test Report

Authentication Verification: All batches are tested at third-party laboratories such as SGS and Eurofins for strict DNA barcoding and HPLC fingerprinting. These tests prove 100% Vaccinium myrtillus origin and detect potential adulteration with cheaper replacements such as mulberry or synthetic colouring.

Heavy Metals Analysis: Lead (Pb) < 3.0ppm, Cadmium (Cd) < 1.0ppm, Mercury (Hg) < 0.1ppm and Arsenic (As) < 2.0ppm In stringent EU and FDA criteria. All our materials from the Nordics are tested for radiation (Cesium-137) so that they are 100% safe.

Bilberry Extract Specification

Pure Bilberry Extract Advantages

Pharmaceutical-Grade Standardization: Our extract is compliant with European Pharmacopoeia standards, confirmed by HPLC procedures, giving 25% specific anthocyanins against a general pigment measurement. This precision means your formulations result in predictable clinical effects.

Genuine Source Guarantee: We use only wild Vaccinium myrtillus from restricted harvesting regions. Fraudulent substitution is a common industry problem. DNA verification and chromatographic fingerprinting is your answer to safeguard your brand image.

Optimal Bioavailability: Advanced spray-drying process safeguards the natural molecular framework of anthocyanins, retaining the molecular integrity needed for absorption. This makes it far more effective than the synthesized or degraded forms.

Pure Bilberry Extract Application

Vision Health Supplements: Clinically proven to assist the regeneration of rhodopsin in the retinal cells, our extract supports digital eye strain, improving night vision and macular health. The recommended dose is 160-480mg standardized extract daily.

Cardiovascular Wellness Products: Anthocyanins provide vasoprotective benefits and improve microcirculation and healthy blood pressure levels. Formulators include our extract in heart health and circulation support solutions.

Antioxidant Functional Foods: This extract boasts an outstanding ORAC value, making it perfect for beverages, candies and nutrition bars focused on reducing oxidative stress. Its water solubility makes it easy to include without impacting flavour qualities.

Production Process

Step 1 - Raw Material Selection: We choose fresh wild bilberries at their peak of maturity from approved Nordic suppliers, then freeze immediately at -20°C to preserve the anthocyanin content before it degrades.

Step 2 - Cleaning and Preparation: Frozen berries are run through automated washing systems to eliminate dirt and contaminants. The berries are then gently thawed at controlled temperatures to avoid enzymatic destruction of active chemicals.

Step 3 - Extraction: The berries are now ready for a multi-stage countercurrent extraction with optimum ratios of ethanol-water at a temperature of 60-70°C for 2-3 hours that maximizes the yield of anthocyanins while leaving sugars and unwanted tannins behind.

Step 4 - Concentration: The liquid extract is concentrated in vacuum at lowered pressure and temperature below 50°C, thus protecting heat sensitive anthocyanins and efficiently reaching the necessary solid content ratios.

Step 5 - Purification: Target anthocyanins are selectively adsorbed on advanced resin column chromatography, which separates them from remaining sugars and proteins to produce a concentrated solution that meets pharmaceutical purity standards.

Step 6 - Spray Drying: The purified concentrate is spray dried at low temperatures in our 100,000 level clean rooms, resulting in a fine powder with ideal particle size distribution and good reconstitution qualities for your applications.

Step 7 - Quality Testing: Each production batch is tested for anthocyanin content, heavy metals, microbiological and markers of authenticity in our SGS-certified laboratory and approved for Packaging and shipment.

Step 8 - Packaging: Qualified powder is transferred into double layer PE bags within fibre drums, under nitrogen environment to prevent moisture and oxidation during storage and delivery to your site.

FAQ

Q: How can I tell the difference between a UV and HPLC testing result?

A: UV spectrophotometry measures overall pigment absorbance (36% for our standard grade) while HPLC measures individual anthocyanins particularly (25%). HPLC delivers precise bioactive chemical levels for clinical efficacy and is the chosen pharmaceutical standard.

Q: Why is your extract resistant to common adulterants?

A: All the batches were fingerprinted by HPLC and 15 different anthocyanin peaks specific for Vaccinium myrtillus were identified. Other options like mulberry or synthetic dyes generate distinct designs. With each shipment we send you this chromatogram for your verification.

Q: What is the best storage to preserve potency?

A: Store in tightly closed containers, protected from light and at temperatures below 25°C with relative humidity below 60%. Under these conditions, our extract maintains 95% anthocyanins for 24 months from manufacture date .
