Blackberry Fruit Extract

Nutri Partners supplies high-quality Blackberry Extract powder wholesale, derived from the ripe fruits of Rubus fruticosus. Renowned for their deep purple-black hue, blackberries are a powerhouse of antioxidants, specifically Anthocyanins (Cyanidin-3-Glucoside). Our extract offers manufacturers a dual advantage: a potent functional ingredient for immunity and vision support, and a natural, clean-label food colorant that provides a rich violet shade.

Key Features

• Active Compounds: Rich in Anthocyanins (potent antioxidants), Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and Manganese.
• Standardization: We offer Standardized Extracts (e.g., 5% – 25% Anthocyanins by UV/HPLC) for supplements and Fruit Powders (Spray Dried) for flavoring.
• Color: Deep purple to violet powder.
• Solubility: Excellent water solubility, making it ideal for functional beverages and stick packs.
• Flavor Profile: The extract has a tart, astringent berry taste; juice powders are sweeter and fruitier.

Applications

Blackberry extract is widely used in the “Beauty from Within” and functional food sectors:

• Functional Beverages: A key ingredient in immunity shots and antioxidant drinks. It pairs perfectly with natural sweeteners like Stevia Extract to balance acidity.
• Dietary Supplements: Used in vision health formulas (similar to Bilberry) and anti-aging capsules due to high ORAC values (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity).
• Natural Coloring: An excellent clean-label alternative to synthetic dyes (Red 40 / Blue 1) for yogurts, ice creams, and gummy candies.
• Cosmetics: Used in skincare formulations for its anti-inflammatory and free-radical scavenging properties.

Technical Description: Blackberry Extract Powder Wholesale

When sourcing Blackberry Extract powder wholesale, it is vital to distinguish between the two main production methods:

Standardized Extract: Produced via solvent extraction (water/ethanol) to concentrate the bioactive Anthocyanins. This powder is dark, has a tart taste, and is sold based on potency (e.g., 25% Anthocyanins). It is primarily for supplements.

Spray Dried Juice Powder: Produced by drying the fruit juice on a carrier (like Maltodextrin). It retains the fruity flavor and sugar but has a lower antioxidant concentration. This is primarily for flavoring and coloring food products.

Technical Note on Color Stability: Anthocyanins are pH-sensitive. In acidic environments (low pH, like lemonade), the color is vibrant red/purple. In neutral/alkaline environments (high pH, like bakery), the color may shift towards blue/grey. Formulators should test stability in their specific matrix.

Packaging & Logistics

Packaging: 25 kg fiber drums with double PE liners (for extract) or 20 kg cartons (for spray dried powder).

Storage: Highly Hygroscopic. Store in a cool, dry place. The powder will absorb moisture rapidly if left open, turning into a hard block.

Samples: 50g samples available (please specify if you need Extract or Juice Powder).
