Plant Extracts
➢ Product Name: Elderberry Extract
➢ Latin Name: Sambucus nigra L.
➢ Plant Part Used: Dried mature fruits of Adoxaceae Sambucus nigra
Manufactured from dried mature Sambucus nigra berries via sorting-impurity removal, water-ethanol composite extraction, macroporous resin enrichment-purification, vacuum concentration and aseptic spray-drying. The product retains natural active components of elderberry, mainly anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, flavonoids and phenolic acids, without artificial monomer blending or extra exogenous auxiliary materials. It possesses physiological activities of anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation, and is a popular botanical raw material in global dietary-supplement markets. Compared with ordinary elderberry fruit powder, enriched extract delivers higher content of active ingredients with multi-component synergistic effects, suitable for development of dietary supplements and functional foods for immune support and anti-oxidation purposes.
➢ Raw Material Source: 100% extracted from elderberry fruits, free of starch, dextrin and other exogenous additives.
➢ Processing Grade: Low-temperature first-grade refined extract. High-temperature-caused anthocyanin degradation is avoided; no artificial blending. Impurities, solvent residues, heavy metals and pesticide residues are strictly controlled to meet safety limits for food-grade raw materials.
➢ Core Indicators: Total anthocyanins (HPLC) 5%-25%, total polyphenols 15%-40%; multiple customized grades are available.
➢ Physical and Chemical Properties: Purple-red to black-purple fine powder. Anthocyanosides are sensitive to light and pH value. Encapsulated modified grades are available for improved storage stability to adapt to multiple dosage-form development.
➢ Applicable Dosage Forms: Tablets, capsules, solid beverages, pressed candies, compound powders and others.
➢ Storage Properties: Sealed, light-proof and moisture-proof. Store in cool and dry place, avoid light exposure and high temperature to secure anthocyanin activity.
➢ Authentic Raw Material, High-purity & High-activity:
Select mature Sambucus nigra berries with strictly controlled harvesting period. Berries contain sufficient intrinsic anthocyanin and polyphenol contents to guarantee raw-material activity foundation from the source.
➢ Low-temperature Activity Lock, Natural Components:
Adopt mild extraction and resin-enrichment processes to maximally protect heat-sensitive anthocyanin substances and preserve natural component ratio of berries. Synergistic performance of natural compound system outperforms single anthocyanin monomer.
➢ Zero-adulteration Purity, Safe & Compliant:
Free of blending, fillers, pigments, flavors, preservatives and harmful auxiliaries. Residues and microorganisms are strictly controlled in compliance with USP, EP pharmacopoeia standards and domestic food-related regulations.
➢ Strong Compatibility, Full-scenario Adaptation:
Good water-solubility, suitable for weakly-acidic formula systems. Can be used alone or compounded with other botanical extracts. Encapsulated modified products expand applicable formula scenarios.
➢ Standardized Production, Stable Batch Quality:
Produced in 100,000-class GMP workshop. Tested by HPLC and UV dual-methods. Key indicators of total anthocyanins and total polyphenols are strictly controlled for uniform batch quality and full traceability.
Uniform fine powder from purple-red to black-purple with natural berry color, loose, delicate and good fluidity. It bears characteristic elderberry fruity aroma, free of fermented, mildewed or scorched peculiar odor. Conventional grades are water-soluble; aqueous-solution color changes significantly with pH value, showing purple-red under acidic condition and turning blue-green under alkaline environment. Encapsulated modified products improve tolerance to light and pH, mask partial sour-astringent taste, and show better overall quality than ordinary elderberry fruit powder.
Multi-component synergistic system centered on anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, supplemented by phenolic acids and flavonoids. Anthocyanins are light- and heat-sensitive active substances; unmodified raw materials tend to degrade and deactivate under strong light, high temperature and strong-alkali conditions. Micro-capsule encapsulation greatly enhances processing tolerance and remedies the shortcoming of poor stability of ordinary anthocyanin-based raw materials.
Good formulation compatibility. Conventional water-soluble grades are mainly applied in solid beverages and instant foods; high-purity grades fit for tablets and capsules. Strong-alkaline environments shall be avoided in formulas. Encapsulated modified products are suitable for pressed candies requiring high stability. Compatible with most solid-dosage industrial processes to satisfy mass-production and high-end customized development.
Food-grade high-barrier light-proof packaging isolates light, oxygen and moisture to slow down anthocyanin oxidative degradation and moisture caking. Store at cool room temperature without freezing. Use up promptly after opening. Flexible packaging specifications support lab-scale R&D, pilot test and large-scale production.
Elderberry anthocyanin complex, including cyanidin, delphinidin and their glycosides, together with proanthocyanidins, chlorogenic acid and other phenolic acids as well as flavonoid components. Synergy of multiple components forms the material basis for anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory repair.
Anthocyanins and phenolic-acid molecules contain phenolic hydroxyl groups, which directly scavenge reactive-oxygen free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. They up-regulate activities of endogenous antioxidant enzymes including SOD and glutathione to build dual anti-oxidant barriers and alleviate cell damage induced by oxidative stress.
Modulate NF-κB signaling pathway, down-regulate release of pro-inflammatory factors including TNF-α and IL-6, inhibit chronic low-grade inflammatory responses in vivo and mitigate inflammatory damage triggered by oxidative stress.
Polyphenol-anthocyanin components modulate immune-cell responses and assist in maintaining normal body immune-response levels, representing the characteristic target of this raw material.
Anthocyanosides protect vascular endothelial cells, preserve microvascular permeability and structural integrity, and reduce vascular-endothelial damage caused by oxidation.
Polyphenol active components act on cell membranes, mitigate free-radical attack against membrane lipids, maintain cell-membrane structural integrity and reduce cell damage induced by external oxidative stimuli.
Raw material for anti-oxidation health foods, applied in capsules, tablets and solid beverages for consumers with anti-oxidation and immune-support demands.
Note: Domestic product development shall comply with relevant regulations; raw-material source and dosage shall be strictly controlled.
Mainstream berry-type botanical raw material for European and American dietary supplements, featured with immune support and anti-oxidation. Developable into tablets, capsules and compound powders targeting overseas consumer markets.
Applied in pressed candies, solid beverages and instant powders. Often compounded with vitamin C, zinc and propolis extract to manufacture immune-support functional foods.
For scientific-research institutes and enterprise new-product development. Customized raw materials with different anthocyanin contents and micro-capsule encapsulation modification are available to support high-end compound-product development for immune support and anti-oxidation purposes.
Meets quality requirements of USP and EP. Complete test documents are available for bulk export to global markets. It is one of the popular anthocyanin-based botanical raw materials in international markets.
Full safety assessment shall be completed for pet-formula adoption. Limited addition into pet nutritional tablets and powders for anti-oxidation direction is allowed only after assessment approval.
