sambucus nigra elderberry fruit extract

We keep 6% and 10% standardized powders in regular inventory. A 20:1 extract (non-standardized) is also available for formulas that don’t require an anthocyanin claim on the label. Custom strengths between 5–15% can be run with a minimum 25 kg trial order.

We use a UV-Vis spectrophotometric method with a cyanidin-3-glucoside standard for routine release testing. HPLC confirmation is done on a per-batch basis and included in the certificate of analysis. The method follows internal SOPs aligned with AOAC 2005.02.

Yes, the powder disperses quickly in cold water, typical dissolution time under 60 seconds with manual stirring. It works well in instant drink powders and gummy mixes. For clear beverages, slight haze from natural pectin may occur, so we suggest a quick test with your formulation.

We can supply organic-certified batches upon request. The fruit is sourced from certified organic growers, and the extract is processed in a dedicated organic line. Lead time is usually 4–5 weeks for a full container, and we provide the NOP certificate with the shipment.

A 100 kg order of our standard 6% anthocyanin extract usually ships within 7–10 working days from our Changsha warehouse, depending on current stock levels. Larger volumes may take 3 weeks if a new production run is needed.
