Mulberry Extract Powder

Shandong Guanqing Food Ingredients Co., Ltd. introduces its mulberry fruit powder, crafted exclusively from naturally ripened fresh black mulberries sourced from prime domestic production regions. Processed using low-temperature spray-drying technology, the product contains no added colorants, flavorings, sucrose, or fillers, effectively preserving the active nutrients-including natural anthocyanins, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals-found in the fruit. This food-grade ingredient serves as a natural colorant and functional additive; it is supplied to manufacturers of health supplements, solid beverages, baked goods, pressed candies, and drinks, meeting market entry standards for Europe and the United States.
The raw material originates from large-scale, pollution-free mulberry plantations; only fully ripened, deep purple-black fruits are harvested, followed by manual sorting to remove unripe or spoiled fruit, as well as twigs, leaves, and other impurities.
The comprehensive processing workflow includes: washing fresh fruit → low-temperature crushing and juicing → ultrafiltration, purification, and concentration → low-temperature spray drying → aseptic sifting → packaging in a clean-room environment. The low-temperature process minimizes the loss of anthocyanins caused by heat, retains the fruit's original flavor and active compounds, and prevents high-temperature carbonization or nutrient degradation.

Controlled-Source Organic Fresh Fruit Raw Materials

 

We partner with exclusive, large-scale organic mulberry orchards situated far from industrial zones and irrigated with clean water free from heavy-metal contamination. During harvest, only fully ripe, plump mulberries with a deep purple-black hue are selected. Manual sorting removes unripe fruit, decayed berries, twigs, soil, and other impurities; fallen or defective fruit is strictly excluded from processing. This ensures raw material purity at the source and mitigates risks associated with pesticide residues and excessive impurities, meeting the standards for high-end overseas organic ingredient procurement.

Low-Temperature, Closed-Loop Processing to Preserve Bioactive Compounds

 

Unlike standard market products made via high-temperature drying and coarse grinding, we utilize an integrated low-temperature production line combining juice concentration and spray drying. The comprehensive process includes: high-pressure air-bubble washing of fresh fruit → physical cold-pressing for juice extraction → multi-stage ultrafiltration to remove pulp fibers and impurities → low-temperature vacuum concentration → aseptic low-temperature spray drying → vibratory grading and screening → vacuum-sealed packaging in a Class 100,000 cleanroom.

Temperature is strictly controlled throughout the entire processing system, significantly minimizing the degradation of bioactive compounds-such as anthocyanins and polysaccharides-caused by high heat. The finished product retains a rich, natural mulberry aroma without any burnt or bitter off-notes, achieving a nutrient retention rate far superior to that of traditionally processed mulberry powder.

1. Appearance: A uniform, fine, deep purplish-red powder; the powder is free-flowing and resistant to moisture absorption or clumping.

2. Flavor and Aroma: Pure, natural mulberry fruit aroma; free from harsh off-notes or industrial processing odors.

3. Solubility: Dissolves quickly and evenly in both cold and warm water; the resulting solution is clear and purplish-red, with no significant residue or sedimentation.

4. Particle Size: Available in standard 80-mesh and 120-mesh specifications; suitable for various applications such as tableting, instant beverage mixing, baking, and coloring.

5. Moisture Content: ≤6%; low moisture content makes it suitable for long-distance ocean transport and minimizes clumping or spoilage caused by humidity.

6. Safety Standards: Heavy metals, pesticide residues, total bacterial counts, and pathogens are strictly controlled within EU and US limits for food ingredients; minimal batch-to-batch variation in composition and color ensures consistent color in customers' mass-produced finished products.
