Products Description

 

Purple Corn Extract Powder | 25% Anthocyanin | Solvent & Pesticide Free

Our Purple Corn Extract Powder Through patented cryogenic extraction (≤40°C) and three-stage precision filtration, the product is standardized to ≥25% anthocyanin (main components: cyanidin-3-glucoside, delphinidin-3-glucoside) and ≥30% total polyphenols (HPLC-verified), presenting as a deep purple to violet fine powder with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and natural coloring properties. Fully compliant with EU Regulation EC 396/2005 (pesticide residue standard) and USP 49, it is a core functional ingredient for high-end dietary supplements, natural beverages, and anti-aging cosmetics globally.

Unlike traditional spray-dried purple corn products (which lose 20-30% anthocyanins and leave solvent residues), our cryogenic extraction technology retains 98.5% of active components (anthocyanins, polyphenols) at low temperature, achieving zero solvent residue (GC-MS tested, compliant with USP <467>) . The finished product has a subtle corn aroma, no bitter aftertaste, and ultra-high water solubility (>99% in 20°C water)-solving the formulation pain points of poor compatibility, color instability, and low bioavailability of traditional extracts. Its ORAC value reaches 22,500 μmol TE/g-2.5x higher than acai berry extract-while the rich anthocyanins (a type of anthocyanidin) deliver stable violet-to-red hues (pH 3–9), making it a "dual-functional star" in the natural extract market (functional nutrition + natural coloring).

Strictly adhering to EU Regulation EC 396/2005, our purple corn extract powder achieves zero pesticide residue (GC-MS/MS tested, 400+ pesticides screened, all below detection limit) and heavy metals compliant with EU 1881/2006 (Pb≤0.05ppm, Cd≤0.3ppm, As≤1.0ppm, Hg≤0.3ppm) . It holds USDA Organic, EU Organic, Kosher, Halal, and Non-GMO Project certifications, trusted by 280+ global brands (including NOW Foods and Innisfree) . Full traceability is available via blockchain-enabled QR code, tracking from Andean planting plots (GPS locatable) to finished powder, ensuring regulatory peace of mind for clients in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
