Water Soluble Freeze-Dried Maqui Berry Powder
Product Description
Maqui berry powder is derived from the fruits of Aristotelia chilensis, a plant native to the Patagonian region of South America. The berries are rich in anthocyanins (a type of flavonoid), polyphenols, vitamins (e.g., vitamin C), and dietary fiber. The powder is typically produced via freeze-drying or spray-drying to retain its nutritional potency, making it a popular ingredient in dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, and health products.
| Type | Processing Method | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Freeze-Dried Powder | Berries are frozen and dehydrated under vacuum | Retains maximum nutrients (especially heat-sensitive compounds like anthocyanins). |
| Spray-Dried Powder | Berries are juiced, concentrated, and sprayed into hot air | More cost-effective, suitable for water-soluble applications but may lose some heat-sensitive nutrients. |
