Blueberry Extract

Blueberry Extract (5% Anthocyanins)

1. English Name

Blueberry Extract (specify “Water-Soluble Blueberry Extract” or “Oil-Soluble Blueberry Extract” if you need to call out solubility—super helpful for formulators!)

2. Specification

Key Active Ingredient: ≥ 5% Anthocyanins (HPLC tested—anthocyanins are the purple antioxidants that make blueberries “superfoods”; this is the industry standard for functional use)
Solubility: Water-soluble: Mixes seamlessly in juices, smoothies, or serums (no clumps, turns liquids bright purple)
Oil-soluble: Blends perfectly in oils, creams, or fatty foods (great for skincare or baked goods—locks in color better in fatty bases)

Purity: ≥ 99% pure blueberry extract (no added sugars, artificial colors, or preservatives—vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO)

Moisture: ≤ 5% (keeps powder from clumping—stays fresh for 2+ years sealed; oil-soluble versions have ≤ 0.5% moisture)

3. Appearance

Water-soluble: Bright purple-red to deep violet fine powder. Oil-soluble: Dark purple paste or powder. Both have a fresh, sweet-tart blueberry aroma—100% not a yellowish-white solid with chocolate scent! It smells like you just crushed a handful of ripe blueberries—fruity, bright, no weird sweet notes.

4. CAS NO.

N/A (it’s a natural fruit extract, not a single chemical). Its main active, anthocyanins (e.g., cyanidin-3-glucoside), has CAS 7084-24-4—but the full extract doesn’t have a single CAS number.

5. Lead Time

3–7 Working Days. We keep both water-soluble and oil-soluble 5% anthocyanin grades in stock—fast for supplement brands, bakeries, skincare companies, or anyone needing quick access to quality blueberry extract.

6. Package

Consumer/Batch Sizes: 100g/500g resealable foil bags (powder—comes with a small scoop) or 1L amber glass jars (oil-soluble paste—light-proof to protect anthocyanins)
Bulk Sizes: 25kg food-grade drums (lined with plastic for water-soluble; food-grade HDPE drums for oil-soluble—27 drums per tray; desiccants included to keep moisture out)

7. Main Market

Global—here’s where it’s most popular: North America: Smoothie shops, protein bar brands, and “clean label” supplements (anthocyanins sell great for immunity and brain health)Europe: Organic food manufacturers (yogurt, granola) and natural skincare lines (antioxidant serums)Asia: Functional drink brands (purple iced teas, beauty drinks) and traditional dessert mixes (adds color without artificial dyes)

8. Applications & Key Benefits

The 5% anthocyanin level hits the sweet spot—enough antioxidant power for functional products, but mild enough for everyday foods. Here’s how it’s used:

Food & BeveragesSmoothies/Juices: 1–2 tsp of water-soluble extract = flavor of 1 cup fresh blueberries (saves time—no washing or mashing!)
Baked Goods: Oil-soluble extract mixed into muffin/cookie dough (keeps color bright when baked—water-soluble fades a little in heat)
Yogurt/Oatmeal: Stir water-soluble extract into plain yogurt or oatmeal (adds color and flavor—kids love the “purple breakfast” trend)

Dietary SupplementsAntioxidant Capsules: 500mg per serving (paired with elderberry or vitamin C for immunity boosts—popular during cold season)

Brain Health Blends: Added to nootropics (anthocyanins support focus—marketed to students and busy professionals)

Vegan Formulas: A natural source of antioxidants for plant-based multivitamins (no animal derivatives)

SkincareBrightening Serums: 2%–3% water-soluble extract (fights free radicals, fades dark spots—gentler than vitamin C for sensitive skin)

Moisturizers: Oil-soluble extract mixed into face creams (locks in hydration and protects skin from sun damage)

Face Masks: Added to clay masks (calms redness—great for post-sun or acne-prone skin)

Pro Tip for Formulators: If you’re making something hot (like bread or soup), use oil-soluble extract—it holds color better. For cold products (smoothies, serums), water-soluble is easier to mix!

Why This Blueberry Extract Works

Fresh blueberries go bad fast and are expensive—this extract lets you get that blueberry goodness year-round, at a fraction of the cost. The 5% anthocyanin level is perfect for “functional” claims without being overpowering (no bitter aftertaste!). Plus, it’s a natural colorant—brands love it because they can skip artificial dyes like Red 40 or Blue 1.

Quick Safety & Storage Notes

Safe for everyone—kids, pregnant people, and seniors included—when used as directed (stick to 1–2g of extract daily for adults). Store in a cool, dark place: light breaks down anthocyanins (that’s why we use amber jars for oil-soluble versions!). If the powder clumps, just break it up with a fork—still good to use!
