Summary
This pure, spray-dried Blackberry powder delivers a concentrated natural blend of phenolic antioxidants including the purple anthocyanins to your cosmetic product. In addition the powder contains fruit sugars, acids and soluble fibre for microbiome support and antioxidant stabilisation.
Origin
Botanical (Fresh fruit)
Process
Produced by taking freshly squeezed blackberries and spray drying them. Spray drying concentrates the antioxidants naturally present in the fruit juice. The process also stabilises the phytochemicals by drying off the water. Most blackberries contain around 88% water when fresh so 12g of this blackberry juice powder would provide the same antioxidant hit as you would get from a 100g of fresh blackberry juice.
Appearance
Purple particulates. Free flowing when dehydrated
Odour:
Mild, characteristic of Blackberries but not strong enough to be used as a major odour active.
Solubility
Water soluble.
pH of a reconstituted juice
Around 3.5
Heat stability
Will tolerate heating for a short time but best to add into your formula once the temperature is below 50C as some of the anthocyanins (purple colourants) will start to break down with excessive heat.
Use instructions
To create a re-constituted Blackberry juice mix 1.2 parts Blackberry powder to 8.8 parts water (12% powder to 88% water). Add to your formula in the cool-down phase if possible and for best stability, maintain a product pH of below 5. Final product pH is a more important factor in polyphenol stability than heat treatment during manufacturing.
Typical use level
Between 1-12% on an ‘as supplied’ basis but can be used in higher quantities if required.
