Elderberry Powder

Premium Sambucus Nigra Extract by Xi'an Tihealth

In the highly competitive immune-support nutraceutical market, European Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) remains the gold standard. However, generic elderberry powders often suffer from poor aqueous solubility, rapid color degradation, and inconsistent active marker profiles. Xi'an Tihealth resolves this with our pharmaceutical-grade, spray-dried Elderberry Extract Powder.

Sourced exclusively from premium European cultivars, our extract undergoes rigorous membrane filtration and low-temperature concentration. This advanced protocol eliminates insoluble fruit fibers and pectins, yielding a brilliantly dark purple-red powder that dissolves 100% clearly in cold water or syrups. Standardized for high concentrations of bio-active Anthocyanins and Polyphenols, it provides a highly stable, functional foundation for premium immune-support gummies, effervescent tablets, and functional winter-defense beverages.

For R&D formulators designing liquid syrups or clear gummy matrices, the physical performance of the extract is just as critical as its nutritional profile. Our specialized processing eliminates common botanical hurdles:

•  
• Membrane Clarification (Zero Sediment):
• Raw fruit powders contain pectins and insoluble celluloses that create a cloudy, unappealing residue in liquids. We utilize ultra-filtration technology to strip away these insolubles prior to spray-drying. The result is a powder that guarantees a crystal-clear, deep purple solution, perfectly suited for RTD (Ready-to-Drink) beverages and pediatric syrups.
•  
• Standardized Active Markers:
• We do not just sell dried fruit dust. Our extraction process is meticulously calibrated and HPLC-tested to ensure a standardized yield of Anthocyanins (e.g., ≥ 5%, 10%, or 25%) and Polyphenols. This guarantees reliable bioactivity for your immune-support label claims.
•  
• Color Stability & Natural Tartness:
• By optimizing the carrier matrix during the spray-drying phase, we protect the fragile anthocyanins from rapid oxidation. The powder imparts a beautiful, stable magenta-to-purple hue (pH dependent) and an authentic, mildly tart berry flavor without synthetic dyes or artificial flavorings.

Batch-to-batch consistency is essential for color profiling and active dosing. Below is the analytical data sheet for our Standardized Elderberry Extract.

Replacing non-compliant disease-treatment claims with scientifically validated mechanisms of action, our elderberry extract supports premium formulas targeting:

Seasonal Immune System Support

Sambucus nigra has an extensive clinical history in supporting the body's natural defense mechanisms during seasonal challenges. The unique flavonoids and anthocyanins present in the extract are recognized for their ability to support robust immune cell function and respiratory tract health.

Cellular Antioxidant Defense

Elderberries possess one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scores among botanical fruits. The concentrated anthocyanins act as powerful free-radical scavengers, mitigating cellular oxidative stress and protecting lipid membranes from environmental degradation.

Microcirculation & Capillary Integrity

The specific phenolic compounds found in elderberry extract support endothelial function. By assisting in the maintenance of vascular elasticity and capillary strength, it provides excellent foundational support for cardiovascular and microcirculation formulas.

• Nutraceutical Gummies & Lozenges:
• The absolute cornerstone ingredient for winter-defense and immune-support pectin gummies. Its high solubility ensures a clear, non-gritty matrix while providing an intense, natural purple-red hue.
•  
• Pediatric Syrups & Elixirs:
• Extensively used in liquid immune formulas. The ultra-filtrated powder guarantees zero sedimentation at the bottom of the bottle, maintaining a visually appealing, homogenous syrup.
•  
• Effervescent Tablets & Stick Packs:
• The rapid cold-water dispersion makes it an ideal active ingredient for instant "immunity-booster" drink mixes and effervescent recovery tablets.
•  
• Functional Dairy & Cosmecuticals:
• Acts as an antioxidant-rich, natural colorant for premium yogurts and "beauty-from-within" collagen blends.

Our extraction methodology guarantees the retention of bioactives while maximizing physical functionality in your mixing tanks:

1.  
2. Botanical Sourcing & Washing:
3. We strictly utilize authentic Sambucus nigra berries. Upon arrival, the berries are thoroughly washed and sorted to remove stems and unripe fruits, ensuring a non-toxic, premium raw material base.
4.  
5. Aqueous Extraction:
6. The crushed berries undergo temperature-controlled aqueous extraction to draw out the water-soluble anthocyanins and polyphenols without degrading them through extreme heat.
7.  
8. Ultra-Filtration (Clarification):
9. A critical step for beverage formulators. The crude extract is passed through advanced membrane filters. This physical separation removes insoluble pectins, cellular debris, and heavy starches, leaving a crystal-clear liquid concentrate.
10.  
11. High-Efficiency Spray Drying:
12. The concentrate is blended with an optimal carrier (such as pharmaceutical-grade maltodextrin) and atomized in a spray dryer. Instantaneous moisture flashing creates a stable, micro-fine powder that locks in the color and bioactivity.

Fruit extracts are highly hygroscopic (prone to absorbing moisture). Operating under an ISO9001:2015 Quality Management System, Xi'an Tihealth utilizes rigorous high-barrier packaging protocols to ensure your bulk powder remains free-flowing upon delivery.

1. Which testing method do you use to verify Anthocyanin content?

For precise QA/QC compliance, we utilize High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or UV-Vis spectrophotometry, depending on your specific formulation requirements. HPLC allows us to accurately quantify specific bioactive compounds (such as cyanidin-3-glucoside), ensuring our extract strictly meets European Pharmacopoeia (EP) standards for your immune-support label claims.

2. Can this extract be used in clear liquid syrups without precipitation?

Yes. Unlike crude elderberry fruit powders that contain insoluble pectins and celluloses, our extract undergoes advanced membrane ultra-filtration prior to spray-drying. This physical clarification yields a 100% water-soluble powder that dissolves rapidly in cold water or liquid syrups, leaving a crystal-clear, deep purple solution with absolutely zero sedimentation.

3. How do you prevent the powder from clumping during transit?

Natural berry extracts are inherently hygroscopic due to their fruit sugars and polyphenols. We mitigate this by optimizing the carrier matrix (food-grade maltodextrin) during the spray-drying phase. Furthermore, all commercial bulk orders are packaged in double-layered, vacuum-sealed PE bags enclosed in heavy-duty drums to completely block moisture ingress during global ocean freight.
