Acerola Cherry Powder

Premium Acerola Cherry Powder. The richest natural source of Vitamin C (standardized 17-25%). Clean label antioxidant and immune booster. Wholesale supply.

Nutri Partners supplies high-grade Acerola Cherry Powder wholesale, derived from the fruit of Malpighia emarginata (native to South America/Brazil). Acerola is globally recognized as one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), containing up to 30 times more Vitamin C than oranges. We offer this superfruit in a stabilized powder form, standardized to specific Vitamin C concentrations, making it the perfect “Clean Label” alternative to synthetic ascorbic acid for food preservation and dietary supplements.

Key Features

  • Standardization: Available in 17% and 25% Native Vitamin C content (HPLC).
  • Bioavailability: Contains natural bioflavonoids that improve the absorption of Vitamin C compared to synthetic alternatives.
  • Clean Label: Allows manufacturers to label ingredients as “Acerola Fruit Powder” instead of “E300” or “Ascorbic Acid.”
  • Taste & Color: Light orange to reddish powder with a characteristic tart, acidic flavor.
  • Solubility: Water-soluble extract, suitable for beverage applications.

Applications

Acerola is versatile across multiple industries:

  • Dietary Supplements: The gold standard for “Natural Vitamin C” capsules, immune support blends, and multivitamins.
  • Bakery & Meat Processing: Used as a natural antioxidant and dough conditioner (oxidizer) to improve gluten structure in bread or extend shelf life in processed meats (preventing oxidation).
  • Functional Beverages: Added to smoothies, juices, and sports drinks for vitamin fortification.
  • Cosmetics: Used in brightening serums and anti-aging creams due to Vitamin C’s role in collagen synthesis and skin tone evening. It pairs well with other antioxidant fruits like Blackberry Extract.

Technical Description: Acerola Cherry Powder Wholesale

When sourcing Acerola Cherry Powder wholesale, buyers must distinguish between Spray Dried Juice Powder and Standardized Extract.

Juice Powder: Focuses on flavor. Vitamin C content varies naturally (usually 2-5%).

Standardized Extract (Our Focus): Processed to guarantee a high Vitamin C level (17% or 25%).

Carrier Note: Acerola fruit is naturally extremely sticky due to high sugar content. To turn it into a free-flowing powder, it requires a carrier (typically Maltodextrin or Manioc Starch). A “100% fruit powder” without carrier would turn into a solid block instantly. We optimize the carrier ratio to maintain high potency while ensuring flowability.

Packaging & Logistics

Packaging: 20 kg or 25 kg cartons with heavy-duty PE inner liners.

Storage: Very Hygroscopic. Vitamin C degrades with moisture and heat. Store in a cool (max 20°C), dry place. Keep the liner tightly closed immediately after use.

Samples: 50g samples available (please specify desired Vitamin C %).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is natural Vitamin C better than synthetic?

Chemically, the ascorbic acid molecule is identical. However, Acerola powder contains a complex matrix of phytonutrients (bioflavonoids, anthocyanins) that studies suggest may enhance the absorption and retention of Vitamin C in the body. Plus, consumers strongly prefer natural sources.

Is the product heat stable?

Vitamin C is sensitive to heat. While spray drying is a gentle process, we recommend adding Acerola powder at the end of your production process (post-baking or pasteurization) if possible, to minimize vitamin loss.

Does it contain Maltodextrin?

Yes, almost all industrial Acerola powders contain a carrier (like non-GMO Maltodextrin) to prevent caking. The carrier is necessary for the spray-drying process. We provide full specification sheets detailing the fruit-to-carrier ratio.
