Our acerola berry extract is produced through four core steps: Raw Material Pre-treatment, Enzymatic Hydrolysis & Separation, Concentration, and Drying & Pulverization. Given that acerola cherries are naturally rich in highly sensitive vitamin C and antioxidants, we strictly control temperature and oxygen exposure throughout the entire production process to ensure the potency and purity of the active components.

The key manufacturing procedures are as follows:

1. Raw Material Pre-treatment

a. Selection & Cleaning: Strictly select fresh, high-quality acerola cherries (Malpighia glabra L.) free from decay and spoilage. Remove impurities, stems, and seeds.

b. Crushing & Pulping: Use a pulping machine to crush the fruit into a uniform pulp.

2. Enzymatic Hydrolysis & Separation

a. Enzymatic Hydrolysis: Add pectinase, cellulase, and tannase to the fruit pulp for enzymatic hydrolysis. This process helps break down plant cell walls, releasing more vitamin C and polyphenols while reducing the viscosity of the pulp.

b. Enzyme Inactivation: Upon completion of enzymatic hydrolysis, rapidly raise the temperature of the material to 85-90°C and maintain for 5-10 minutes to denature and deactivate the enzymes, then quickly cool to ambient temperature.

c. Centrifugal Filtration: After homogenization through a colloid mill, separate solids from liquids using a centrifuge or filter membrane to remove fruit pomace and collect clarified juice filtrate.

d. Degassing: Transfer the clarified juice filtrate to a vacuum degasser to remove dissolved oxygen from the liquid under vacuum conditions.

3. Vacuum Concentration

a. Low-Temperature Concentration: Transfer the degassed juice filtrate to a vacuum concentration unit for reduced-pressure concentration. Evaporate most of the water at a relatively low temperature (typically < 60°C) to minimize oxidative degradation of vitamin C caused by high heat.

b. Excipient Blending: Mix the concentrated liquid with pre-dissolved carrier excipients (e.g., maltodextrin) in a specified ratio, stirring thoroughly until uniform.

4. Drying & Pulverization

a. Spray Drying: The blended concentrate is atomized into extremely fine droplets through a spray drying tower and instantly dried into powder in a hot air stream.

5. Sieving

a. Sieving: Pass the dried powder through a vibrating sieve to remove large particles or agglomerates. And then, pass the sieved powder through a metal detector to eliminate any potential metal fragments (e.g., from equipment wear).

6. Product Quality Control

a. Active Component Assay: Vitamin C content is determined using validated analytical methods (e.g., HPLC) to confirm it meets the labeled specification.

b. Physical Property Testing: Appearance, color, particle size, moisture content, and ash content are measured to ensure physical consistency.

c. Microbiological Testing: Total plate count, yeast & mold, and pathogenic bacteria (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli) are tested to ensure compliance with food safety standards.

d. Heavy Metal Screening: Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and other heavy metals are analyzed to verify they fall within acceptable limits.

e. Release Criteria: Only batches that pass all quality parameters are approved for release and packaging.

7. Packaging & Warehousing

a. Packaging: The finished product is packaged in a low-humidity, clean environment (relative humidity ≤ 30%) using aluminum foil composite bags, which are then heat-sealed. Outer packaging consists of sturdy fiber drums.

b. Warehousing: Packaged products are stored in a dedicated, temperature-controlled warehouse.

Acerola Extract offers multiple health benefits, largely attributed to its naturally occurring vitamin C and bioactive phytonutrient complex.

Natural Vitamin C Supplementation: Acerola cherry is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. Its natural bioactive compounds, such as bioflavonoids, may help protect vitamin C from oxidation.

Antioxidant & Cellular Protection: Acerola cherry provides a complex of antioxidant phytonutrients, including anthocyanins, carotenoids, and polyphenols. These compounds work alongside the body's natural antioxidant systems to help neutralize free radicals.

Collagen Synthesis Support: Vitamin C in acerola cherry extract contributes to normal collagen formation, supporting the normal function of skin, gums, and joints, and helping maintain skin elasticity.

Immune Support: Vitamin C from natural sources like acerola contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Emerging research suggests that bioactive compounds in the extract may provide additional support to immune cells.

Promotion of Plant-Based Iron Absorption: Vitamin C in acerola cherry extract enhances iron absorption, particularly beneficial for those on plant-based diets or with higher iron needs.

Acerola Extract, naturally rich in vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and a broad spectrum of antioxidants, has become a versatile ingredient across three primary industries: dietary supplements, food & beverages, and cosmetics. Its natural origin makes it an ideal choice for clean-label product formulations.

 Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals

Recognized as the "King of Natural Vitamin C," acerola powder is widely formulated into tablets, capsules, and powdered mixes to support daily immune function and provide antioxidant protection. Its natural nutrient complex, including bioflavonoids and phenolic compounds, offers a well-recognized alternative to synthetic vitamin C, making it a preferred ingredient for health-conscious consumers.

a. Typical End Products: Vitamin C chewable tablets, acerola compressed candies, children's multivitamin powders, and immune support sachets.

 Food & Functional Beverages

As a natural functional ingredient, acerola cherry extract not only imparts a pleasant sweet-tart flavor to products but also serves as a natural antioxidant alternative to synthetic additives.

a. Beverages: Added to fruit juices, carbonated drinks, sports beverages, and oral liquids for natural nutrient fortification.

b. Bakery & Confectionery: Incorporated into gummies, jams, yogurts, and cereal bars to enhance fruity notes and vitamin content.

c. Natural Preservation: The high vitamin C content helps extend shelf life and maintain product color stability by reducing oxidative degradation, with emerging applications in plant-based and meat products.

 Cosmetics & Personal Care

With its potent antioxidant properties and ability to inhibit melanin synthesis, acerola cherry extract is highly valued in skincare formulations. It helps protect skin from free radical damage, brightens complexion, and supports anti-aging benefits.

a. Typical End Products: Brightening serums, anti-aging creams, facial masks, and body lotions.

Q1: What is the difference between acerola cherry extract and whole acerola powder?

A: Whole fruit powder retains the full spectrum of fiber and phytochemicals (typically 2-6% vitamin C), while acerola cherry extract is concentrated and standardized (e.g., 17% or 25% vitamin C) for consistent potency in formulation, though some natural co-factors may be reduced.

Q2: What are the common specifications available for acerola powder?

A: Common vitamin C-standardized grades include 17% and 25%. Concentration-ratio grades (e.g., 4:1 or 10:1 extracts) are also available, but note these usually contain lower vitamin C levels (approx. 4-6%) and are not equivalent to 17%+ extracts. The powder typically appears as a light yellow to light pink fine powder.

Q3: What happens if acerola powder is exposed to high humidity?

A: High relative humidity (>50%) can cause moisture absorption, leading to visible stickiness, caking, and degradation of vitamin C and polyphenols. The powder should be kept in a low-humidity environment (relative humidity ≤ 40%).

Q4: Does the color of acerola powder change over time?

A: Gradual darkening over time is a normal characteristic of natural products due to oxidation. While this does not indicate spoilage, it is a visual cue of aging and generally correlates with a slight decline in vitamin C potency, rather than freshness.

Q5: Is acerola cherry extract recognized as a food ingredient globally?

A: In the US, acerola cherry extract is GRAS, but vitamin C label claims must comply with FDA fortification regulations. In the EU, it is primarily permitted as a food supplement or natural flavoring; it is not universally approved as a fortification ingredient for all food categories. Maximum permitted vitamin C levels vary by country and application; local regulatory consultation is strongly recommended.

Q6: How does acerola cherry extract perform in high-fat formulations?

A: It is water-soluble and oil-insoluble; add it to the water phase of oil-based formulations. Use emulsifiers (e.g., lecithin) and consider chelating agents (e.g., EDTA or sodium phytate) strictly within local regulatory limits to protect against metal-induced oxidation. Crucially, add the powder during the cooling phase (below 40°C) to avoid thermal degradation of vitamin C.
