natural blueberry extract

Huacheng Biotech’s natural blueberry extract is produced under a full-chain control model that traces from fresh or frozen blueberries through water-alcohol extraction, membrane concentration, and spray drying onto maltodextrin carriers. Typical anthocyanin content is quantified at 25% by UV or HPLC, with particle size held below 80 mesh for rapid dispersion in liquid applications. The extract appears as a free-flowing purple-red powder with characteristic blueberry aroma, which holds up well in pH-stable beverages, pressed bars, and gummy matrices without requiring heavy masking. We supply this extract primarily to manufacturers who need a clean-label fruit component but are sensitive to ingredient cost per serving. It fits well into powdered drink mixes, yogurt fruit preparations, and breakfast cereal coatings where color and label appeal matter more than high-purity pharmaceutical activity. Batch records include heavy metal analysis (Pb < 2 ppm, As < 1 ppm) and microbiological clearance to meet EU Novel Food guidance levels. For developers working on sugar-reduced products, the natural sweetness from carrier maltodextrin can partially offset the need for additional sweeteners—something our application lab often helps balance during formulation trials. A typical 1-2% use rate provides visibly purple hue and light berry flavor, with antioxidant claims supportable at higher inclusion levels.
