Processing Method

Our blackcurrant juice powder is produced through a three-stage process:

1. Juice Extraction

Fresh or frozen Ribes nigrumberries are pressed. We just gather the liquid—no seeds, skins, or stems.

2. Focus.
To preserve heat-sensitive anthocyanins and eliminate superfluous water, the juice is vacuum concentrated at low temperatures.

3. Spray/Dry

Temp-controlled spray towers atomize concentrated juice. The fine, free-flowing powder retains color and taste.

Options: Maltodextrin or tapioca starch can increase spray drying flowability (indicated on COA).

Product Specifications

Application Guide

✓ Beverage Formulations

Advantages:

· Dissolves completely in cold water (no sediment)

· Natural violet-to-red color (pH dependent)

· 6-10x concentrated vs. single-strength juice

Typical usage rates:

· Ready-to-drink beverages: 0.5-2%

· Powdered drink mixes: 5-15%

· Functional shots: 3-5%

pH sensitivity note:Blackcurrant anthocyanins shift color based on pH:

· pH <4 (acidic): Vibrant red-violet

· pH 4-6: Purple

· pH >6 (alkaline): Blue-purple

Recommendation:Add citric acid or ascorbic acid to maintain red tones in neutral-pH products.

✓ Dietary Supplements

Capsule formulations:

Juice powder concentrates fruit solids into smaller volumes compared to whole berry powder. This allows for:

· Higher dosage per capsule

· Better compression for tablets

· Reduced excipient requirements

Typical dosage:300-1000mg per serving

✓ Functional Foods

Compatibility:

• Dairy offerings: yogurt, ice cream
• Baked goods- muffins, bars
• Includes gummy and hard candy.
• Breakfast items (oatmeal, smoothie bowls)

Anthocyanins are moderately heat-resistant. Baked goods may lose color; check your application.

Storage & Handling

⚠️Important:This product is hygroscopic due to natural fruit sugars.

Storage requirements:

• Maintain in a sealed aluminum bag within the fiber drum.
• Maintain storage area at <50% RH.
• Keep below 25°C and away from direct sunlight.
• Reseal immediately from opening.

In proper storage, 24 months. Within 6 months after opening.

Powder causes caking when wet. Although not rotting, this impacts flowability. Store in cool warehouses.

FAQ

Q: What distinguishes juice powder from whole fruit powder?

A: Powdered juice is water-soluble and fiber-free.

Whole fruit powder is dried and milled berries (fiber, less soluble).

Choose juice powder for capsules and clear drinks. Select whole fruit powder for fiber and "whole food" label claims.

Q: What's the anthocyanin content?

A: A typical range is 0.5-2.5% anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalents). Content depends on berry crop and processing batch. Request lot data from the COA.

Q: Can I use this in organic products?

A: You may order our organic version. Standard inventory isn't organic. Ask for a "organic" quotation or sample.

Q: What causes batch color differences?

A: Natural agricultural variation impacts anthocyanin. Color specifications are on each COA. Order current production samples before bulk purchase for essential color-matching applications.

Q: How should I label this ingredient?

A: Typical declarations:

· "Blackcurrant Juice Powder"

· "Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) Juice Powder"

If maltodextrin is used as a carrier, you must declare it: "Blackcurrant Juice Powder (with maltodextrin)."

Check your region's specific labeling regulations.

Q: Do you provide samples?

A: Yes. Free 100g samples are available for qualified businesses. Samples ship within 1-2 business days.

Q: What's your return policy?

A: Unopened, undamaged products may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund minus shipping costs. Opened products are not eligible for return due to the hygroscopic nature of the powder. Always test samples before placing bulk orders.
