Acai Berry Extract Supplier & Manufacturer
Bulk Anthocyanin-Rich Botanical Extract for Supplements, Beverages & Cosmetics
Acai Berry Extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from Euterpe oleracea fruit pulp, widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, cosmetics, and food formulations for its high anthocyanin and polyphenol content.
AIHerba® is a GMP-certified Acai Berry Extract manufacturer and bulk supplier in China, offering food-grade and cosmetic-grade extracts with full COA, MSDS, and regulatory documentation.
Our Acai Berry Extract is produced from Brazilian-origin acai fruit, processed in China using controlled water or ethanol-water extraction, ensuring consistent active marker levels, low microbial load, and excellent formulation stability.
Available in multiple specifications (anthocyanins 10–25%, polyphenols 20–50%), this ingredient supports OEM, private label, and wholesale procurement projects requiring traceable sourcing, stable supply, and factory-direct pricing.
1. What Is Acai Berry Extract?
Acai Berry Extract is a concentrated botanical powder obtained from the pulp of Euterpe oleracea, a palm species native to the Amazon region. Through modern extraction and standardization processes, naturally occurring anthocyanins and polyphenols are preserved in a stable form suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
Unlike raw acai powders, standardized acai extracts provide consistent active compound levels, improved microbiological safety, and better compatibility with supplement, beverage, and cosmetic formulations.
