Tart cherry extract powder supplier

Our tart cherry powder is made from the best grade Cerasus vulgaris (Prunus cerasus) fruit, most often the Montmorency variety known for its outstanding phytochemical profile. This contemporary botanical ingredient is produced by low temperature extraction procedures which preserve volatile bioactive compounds like anthocyanins, quercetin, polyphenols and naturally occurring melatonin. Our concentrated tart cherry extract is not a fruit powder containing sugars. A stable free flowing powder with less than 5% moisture that contains therapeutic quantities of antioxidants. The extract has a deep purple-red colour, will pass thorough 80 mesh screening and is quite stable with a shelf life of 24 months when properly kept.

Test Report of Third Party

Anthocyanin Content Verification: SGS conducted an independent HPLC study to verify our standardised anthocyanin levels according to claimed criteria. Chromatographic profiles reveal cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside as the main bioactive indicators.

Ensuring safe consumption by vulnerable populations, Eurofins' third-party testing for heavy metal compliance has shown lead content less than 3.0 ppm and arsenic, cadmium, and mercury levels far lower than those recommended by the EU and USP pharmacopeial standards.

Extensive multi-residue analysis for over 400 chemicals shows that the product complies with organic certification standards for pesticide residue screening. There were no measurable levels of any of the pesticides that were examined, or levels far lower than the maximum residue limits specified by worldwide regulatory bodies.

Validated microbiological testing reveals complete absence of E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus, with total plate counts below 1,000 CFU/g, meeting stringent food safety standards for nutritional supplement uses.

Product Specification

Tart Cherry Extract Powder Advantages

Improved Bioavailability: Our extraction process utilises advanced carrier systems such as maltodextrin or resistant starch to minimise hygroscopicity and enhance chemical absorption inside the gastrointestinal environment compared to whole fruit forms.

In oxidative stress studies, formulators get the greatest antioxidant value per serving compared to blueberry and pomegranate extracts. Its ORAC values are regularly over 15,000 μmol TE/100g.

Clean Label Formulation – No synthetic ingredients, non-GMO Project Verified, water-ethanol extraction, elimination of chemical solvent residue, satisfying consumer requirement for clear ingredient declarations, plant-based health solutions.

Better Flow Properties: Controlled bulk density of 0.40-0.60 g/mL provides excellent flowability for high-speed encapsulation and tableting, decreasing production downtime and enhancing contract manufacturing efficiency.

Application of Tart Cherry Extract Powder

Sports Nutrition Formulations: Clinical research shows it is beneficial in post-workout recovery products designed to reduce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) Natural anti-inflammatory compounds provide COX-1 and COX-2 enzyme inhibition comparable to pharmaceutical NSAIDs, but without the gastrointestinal side effects.

Sleep Support Supplements: Tart cherry extract is an appropriate ingredient for sleep hygiene formulations, correcting circadian rhythm disturbances with natural melatonin content and tryptophan precursors, without the inclusion of synthetic hormones.

Joint Health Applications: Uniformity in anthocyanin levels supports the control of uric acid crystallisation, making it useful for gout treatment supplements as well as general reduction of inflammatory response in ageing populations looking for natural joint comfort solutions.

Functional Beverage Systems: High water solubility and clean tart flavour profile allow easy incorporation into ready-to-drink forms, protein shakes and hydration powders without precipitation difficulties or unwanted taste qualities that afflict rival constituents.

Manufacturing process

Step 1 – Raw Material Selection Our licensed planting bases perform organoleptic screening and pesticide testing on fresh Montmorency cherry. Only premium quality fruit that meets moisture and Brix criteria are permitted to go on to processing stages, guaranteeing consistent phytochemical profiles.

Step 2 – Extraction optimisation: Controlled temperature water-ethanol extraction at defined ratios maximises yields of anthocyanin and minimises the breakdown of heat sensitive chemicals to provide concentrated liquid extracts with validated quantities of bioactive markers.

Step 3 – Purification Refinement: Multi-stage filtering to eliminate insoluble fibres and tannins, followed by chromatographic separation procedures to separate target polyphenolic fractions, providing clarified extracts with higher purity standards.

Step 4 – Spray Drying Stabilisation: In our 100,000 level clean rooms, we use low-temperature spray drying to convert the liquid extracts into stable powders. Maltodextrin carriers are added to avoid oxidation and retain the free-flowing properties required for commercial use.

Step 5 – Quality Verification: Each manufacturing batch is subjected to extensive testing, including HPLC fingerprinting, heavy metal screening, microbiological analysis, and pesticide residue verification, before gaining a Certificate of Analysis clearance and authorisation for warehouse release.
