Elderberry Concentrate Powder - Food Grade

INCI: Sambucus Nigra Fruit Juice (and) Maltodextrin

Elderberry Concentrate Powder is a water-soluble, food-grade concentrate of elderberry (Sambucus nigra) fruit, spray-dried to a free-flowing powder. It is used as a natural colouring ingredient, giving a vivid scarlet to purple-red shade from its naturally occurring anthocyanins.

Colour and pH: as an anthocyanin colour, the shade depends on pH. It is brightest red in acidic systems (around pH 3–4) and shifts towards violet and blue as pH rises. It is not suited to alkaline systems such as cold-process soap.

Solubility: disperses readily and dissolves in cold or warm water. Add to the water phase.

Typical applications: beverages and syrups, confectionery and gummies, dairy and yoghurt, fruit preparations and fillings, bakery decoration, and the water phase of cosmetic formulations.

Typical use level: 0.1–1%, adjusted to the shade required.

Storage: keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from light. The powder is hygroscopic.
