china freeze dried cranberry extract

The freeze dried cranberry extract that leaves this factory starts with fruit sourced from contracted growing regions, checked for pesticide residues and heavy metals before processing. After water extraction, the liquid goes straight into the freeze dryer – no spray drying intermediates that would expose heat-sensitive anthocyanins to degradation. The result is a powder with visibly deeper color and better cold water dispersibility compared to spray dried alternatives. Huacheng does not repack third-party material; every batch is traceable back to the raw fruit lot and the extraction run. For a BRC-certified plant, the paper trail is not optional. Buyers receive a full set of documents: COA, MSDS, non-GMO statement, allergen declaration, and the FDA facility registration number. All these go out with the shipment, not days later. The equipment in this production hall runs two separate freeze drying chambers, which means the team can schedule dedicated runs for a single customer once volume reaches a certain threshold. For smaller orders, the standard practice is to draw from stock retained under controlled humidity, which still ships with a fresh COA from retesting. Ingredient manufacturers developing gel capsules, powder stick packs, or pressed tablets typically ask about particle size. The default is 80 mesh, but the in-house milling line handles specifications from 60 to 120 mesh without long lead time penalties. Because the factory has its own packing room, label format and bags (1 kg, 5 kg, or 25 kg with inner double-layer food-grade liner) can be confirmed early in the purchase order. The combination of extraction, freeze drying, and milling under one roof is what makes the pricing feel budget-friendly without shortcuts.
