Concentrated freeze-dried strawberry powder is a fine, intensely flavored ingredient made from ripe, handpicked strawberries that deliver vivid natural color, authentic aroma and stable fruit functionality without added sugar or carriers. Its lightweight, free-flowing form lets manufacturers add genuine strawberry character to beverages, bakery fillings, yogurt, confectionery coatings and nutritional mixes while simplifying supply chain and labeling requirements. Because the powder is produced from strawberries grown on the supplier’s own farms and processed by vacuum freeze-drying, traceability and raw-material consistency are strong selling points for B2B buyers.
Raw material: 100% natural strawberries from self-owned farms; no sugar, no additives.
Particle size / mesh: Common powder ranges available (e.g., 40–120 mesh); specify mesh in RFQ for instantization or blending needs.
Moisture / stability: Typical maximum moisture ≤ 5% (target water activity for shelf stability).
Shelf life: 18–24 months under recommended cool, dry storage.
Micro & heavy metals: Batch COAs include TPC, yeast & mold, and heavy-metal compliance to EU/FDA thresholds.
Certifications & QA: BRC, HACCP, FDA, Halal, Kosher and ISO22000 available—request scanned certificates for audits.
Packaging: Inner double-PE or aluminium foil bag + five-layer corrugated carton; custom retail pouches (20 g–10 kg) and nitrogen flush options available.
MOQ & logistics: Flexible MOQ; mixed-load LCL / 1×20ft FCL options available to support new-market launches.
Q1 — Can I get samples for R&D and who pays express freight?
Yes. Suppliers commonly provide 100–300 g evaluation samples. Sample material is usually provided; express freight is typically collect or refundable/credited against the first paid order depending on your negotiation.
Q2 — Are you a manufacturer or a trader? What factory proof should I request?
Ask for evidence of in-house powder production (photos of freeze-dry lines, GMP workshops), recent audit reports (BRC/ISO/HACCP), batch COAs and the factory’s retention-sample policy. The product page highlights self-owned farms and ISO-certified production lines—good signals for traceability.
Q3 — Do you quote FOB or CIF and which should I choose?
Both FOB (buyer-nominated forwarder) and CIF (seller-arranged freight + insurance) quotes are standard. For first orders request both to compare landed cost; for small pilots consider LCL/mixed loads to lower freight per SKU.
Q4 — What documentation will I receive with shipment?
Standard shipment pack: COA, microbiology report, packing list, commercial invoice and certification copies (on request). These documents support customs clearance and buyer/retailer audits.
Q5 — How do you protect color and aroma in storage and transit?
Specify nitrogen flushing, aluminium foil liners and UV-blocking outer cartons; request stability data at your intended storage temperature to confirm color retention over your shelf-life claim.
Q6 — What lead times and MOQ should I plan for?
Lead times depend on order size and customization. The factory supports flexible MOQs and both LCL and FCL shipping; confirm lead time in the proforma invoice when placing the RFQ.
Farm-to-powder traceability: contracted/self-owned farms and in-house freeze-drying give tighter raw material control and consistent color/aroma for repeatable batch quality.
Audit-ready documentation: scanned BRC/HACCP/FDA/ISO & Halal/Kosher packs to accelerate retailer onboarding.
Application support & sampling: tailored sample kits for beverage instantization, bakery blends and supplement encapsulation with suggested usage rates and reconstitution notes.
Flexible OEM & packing: custom retail pouches, bulk liners, nitrogen flush, and private-label printing to meet your packaging spec.
Logistics & trade guidance: FOB/CIF comparisons, mixed-load consolidation and low-breakage packing recommendations to reduce landed cost and product loss.
