Description
A 4:1 herb-to-extract spray-dried concentrate of Acai berry (Euterpe oleracea), the Brazilian Amazonian superfruit. The 4:1 ratio positions the extract for whole-fruit-equivalent supplement applications without targeting a specific marker compound, suitable for consumer-recognized superfruit positioning rather than clinical-marker-based formulations.
Light purple to dark purple free-flowing powder. Highly water-soluble.
We supply food-grade Acai Berry Extract 4:1 from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production. Organic-certified grades are available.
Companion market grades include Freeze-Dried Acai Powder (premium whole-fruit positioning at 1:1 ratio), Spray-Dried Acai Powder (cost-effective baseline at 1:1), the 4:1 grade documented here, and 10:1 to 20:1 high-ratio concentrates for capsule applications.
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering herb-to-extract ratio verification, total polyphenols (UV), anthocyanin content, residual solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiology.
Introduction
Acai is the fruit of the Acai palm (Euterpe oleracea), native to the Amazon basin of South America, where it has long been a staple food among indigenous communities. The fruit emerged as a leading global superfruit category in the 2000s through aggressive consumer marketing in North American and European markets.
Industrial production proceeds either by freeze-drying of fresh Acai pulp (preserving anthocyanins and producing a premium whole-fruit product) or by spray-drying with carrier agents (producing more cost-effective extract grades at defined herb-to-extract ratios).
Recognized as a permitted food ingredient by the U.S. FDA, the European Food Safety Authority, and equivalent regulators worldwide. Approved as a Novel Food in the EU.
The Acai anthocyanin profile is dominated by cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside. Clinical evidence at supplement doses is limited compared to Bilberry, Aronia, or Black Currant, with consumer demand driven primarily by superfruit positioning and Amazonian-origin branding rather than clinical specifications.
Strategic positioning combines superfruit-positioning dietary supplements, premium functional beverages, and cosmetic skincare leveraging consumer recognition of the Acai brand.
