Freeze-Dried Cranberry Powder

Premium Freeze-Dried Cranberry Powder – High-PAC Urinary Wellness Ingredient for Nutraceutical Formulations

Yanxi Biotech Freeze-Dried Cranberry Powder is made from the whole fruit of Vaccinium macrocarpon using sophisticated vacuum sublimation technology. This fine powder of deep purple-red colour (60-80 mesh) provides concentrated type-A proanthocyanidins without thermal degradation. Our facility is ISO 22000, HACCP, Kosher and Halal certified with more than 10 years of botanical ingredient experience to provide consistent quality from batch to batch. With our fully integrated manufacturing chain – from raw material sourcing to final export – we supply customers in over 100 countries with reliable cranberry solutions for women's wellness beverages, urinary tract supplements and functional foods.

What Makes Our Freeze-Dried Cranberry Powder Different?

While spray-dried options sometimes use maltodextrin carriers and high heat, our freeze-dried technique retains the natural tart flavour and bright colouring of cranberry. The sub-zero vacuum sublimation process minimises oxidation of heat sensitive A-type PACs important for urinary tract health support.

This powder is carrier-free and maintains the cellular structure of the whole fruit. Each gram gives you real cranberry advantages. A fine mesh standard (60-80) provides excellent dispersion in liquid formulations, without grittiness.

Our product takes care of some of the main manufacturing challenges: extended 24 months shelf life, no need of refrigeration and easy handling unlike juice concentrates. The deep red powder form allows for accurate dosing in capsules, tablets and drink mixes.

Technical Specifications​​​​​​​

Core Product Advantages

freeze-dried material has a porous crystalline structure, and good bioavailability. When you rehydrate this powder, the active ingredients distribute quickly, without requiring enzymatic breakdown of fibrous cell walls.

Our powder has a 15-20% natural protein content which is a plus for gluten free recipes. The entire proanthocyanidin profile delivers true cranberry functioning not found in synthetic extracts.

The vivid purple-red colour suggests the preservation of anthocyanin pigments. You won’t get the pale, washed-out look of heat-processed powders. This natural colouring is great for pink lemonades, wellness shots, and berry flavoured vitamins.

As it is a fine powder, no further grinding is required. It can be added directly to your compositions, saving processing time and equipment wear.

FAQ

Q: What is the odor characteristic of the powder?

A: It has a natural, tart cranberry aroma. The freeze-drying preserves volatile compounds that thermal processing destroys, giving authentic berry fragrance.

Q: Does the powder comply with EU heavy metal limits?

A: Yes. Our product meets strict European standards with lead <0.05ppm, arsenic <0.001ppm, and mercury <0.05ppm as verified by third-party testing.

Q: Can this ingredient withstand high-temperature processing?

A: While possible, we don't recommend exposing it to temperatures above 160°C. Heat degrades proanthocyanidins and vitamins. For baked goods, add post-baking or use in no-bake applications.

Q: How should I mix the powder for optimal dispersion?

A: Use shear mixing at 1000-1500 rpm for 1-3 minutes. This ensures even distribution in liquid formulations without clumping. The powder is dispersible but creates a natural suspension, not a clear solution.

Q: What makes Type-A PACs different from other proanthocyanidins?

A: Type-A PACs found in cranberries have unique double linkages that support urinary tract wellness. This differs from Type-B PACs in grapes and other fruits, which have different biological activities.

Q: Is this powder 100% cranberry with no fillers?

A: Absolutely. We use pure freeze-dried whole cranberry fruit with no maltodextrin, silicon dioxide, or other carriers. The natural fruit sugars and fiber create the powder structure.
