Anthocyanin-rich freeze-dried raspberry powder is a concentrated, free-flowing ingredient that brings vivid pink/red color, tart flavor and concentrated antioxidant (anthocyanin) content into finished goods without artificial colorants. Because raspberries are freeze-dried at peak ripeness and milled into powder, the ingredient blends cleanly into dry mixes (cereals, snack powders), beverage formulations and nutraceutical capsules while preserving visual appeal and potency — a clear win for clean-label product lines and natural color applications.
Appearance: Pink to light-red fine powder.
Flavor & Aroma: Concentrated raspberry profile (natural tartness).
Particle size: Powder (40–80 mesh options available — confirm mesh in RFQ).
Moisture content: ≤ 5% (confirm water activity on COA).
Shelf life: Typical claim 24 months when stored dry and away from sunlight.
Additives: None by default — clean-label (no added sugar or preservatives).
Packing (bulk): Inner double PE or aluminium-foil bag + five-layer corrugated cartons; retail pouch/OEM packing available.
MOQ (guideline): The product page lists 100 KGS as a starting MOQ; confirm for custom specs.
Certifications: Factory lists BRC, FDA, Kosher, Halal, HACCP, ISO (request certificate copies with RFQ).
Buyer tip: Always request a lot-specific COA (moisture, microbiology, and — if needed — anthocyanin/ORAC data) and specify mesh and packing to avoid acceptance surprises.
Q1 — Can I get samples for R&D? Who pays express freight?
Yes — evaluation samples are standard. Many suppliers provide small sample packs (100–300 g) and either charge express freight or credit it against the first paid order — confirm sample policy in your inquiry.
Q2 — What trade terms do you offer — FOB or CIF?
Both are commonly supported. The site quotes FOB China or CIF to a named port on request; ask for both to compare landed cost.
Q3 — What is typical lead time and how fast are stock orders shipped?
Stock orders are often completed within ~15 days; OEM/ODM orders typically take 25–30 days depending on quantity and customization — confirm production slot when you place an RFQ.
Q4 — Are you a manufacturer and what factory credentials should I check?
Look for in-house freeze-drying capacity, GMP workshops, available production photos, and documented QC process (IQF pre-freezing records, batch COA, retention samples). Ask for recent audit reports (BRC/ISO) and line capacity if you plan scale.
Q5 — What documentation is provided with shipments?
Typical shipment paperwork: COA, microbiology report, packing list, commercial invoice and export certificates on request — essential for customs clearance and retailer onboarding.
Q6 — How to reduce color loss and oxidation in storage/transport?
Specify nitrogen flush, aluminium foil liners and UV-blocking outer cartons. Confirm storage recommendations and request stability data for your target temperature/humidity conditions.
Application-matched samples: sample packs and recommended usage rates for beverages, supplements, bakery and dairy.
Audit & certification support: copies of BRC/FDA/HACCP and other certificates to accelerate importer/retailer acceptance.
Flexible packing & OEM: bulk liners, retail pouches, 5kg/10kg carton options and private-label printing to match shelf formats.
Logistics & trade support: FOB and CIF quotations, mixed-load consolidation and packing options to minimize breakage and color degradation.
