Elderberry Fruit Powder

Natural Sambucus nigra Berry Powder

Elderberry Fruit Powder is natural plant-derived powder produced from ripe elderberries (Sambucus nigra). The whole production workflow covers berry harvesting, sorting, rinsing, de-stemming, low-temperature concentration and spray drying. Ripe berries are harvested and processed soon after picking, then converted into fine powder without excessive heat treatment. This clean-label fruit raw material retains the natural deep purple colour and characteristic tart taste of elderberries, suitable for food formulation and bulk export.

Product Details

Many elderberry powder products on the market vary in colour, carry a heavy cooked taste or contain high insoluble residue. Our elderberry fruit powder uses ripe berries as starting material and adopts controlled low-temperature processing and spray drying to protect the natural colour and fruit flavour. The finished powder presents uniform deep purple-red, dissolves readily in water and disperses well in liquid systems. No added sugar, artificial colours,

Natural Characteristics

Sambucus nigra is a woody shrub widely grown in temperate regions. Ripe elderberry fruits naturally accumulate anthocyanin pigments and a range of fruit components during ripening. Our elderberry fruit powder uses ripe berries as starting material, processed by mild low-temperature treatment and spray drying to retain the natural colour and fruit profile of elderberries. This plant-derived ingredient shows stable physical properties and flexible application options, matching the global market trend for natural, plant-based and clean-label food ingredients.
