product description
Cranberry extract 25% proanthocyanidins (PACs) is a premium standardized botanical ingredient specially customized for global dietary supplement manufacturers, formulated with high-purity A-type proanthocyanidins that deliver verified physiological activity. Adhering strictly to EU and US food-grade production standards, this product is one of the most authoritative and widely applied cranberry active raw materials in the nutraceutical industry.
We exclusively select mature, high-quality Vaccinium macrocarpon cranberry fruits sourced from certified North American planting bases. North America’s unique climate and soil environment endow cranberries with higher natural PACs content and richer phenolic active substances compared with ordinary varieties. All raw materials undergo manual screening, impurity removal, and fresh fruit low-temperature pretreatment to avoid active ingredient loss, with complete farm-to-finished-product traceability reports to ensure raw material safety and authenticity .
The product adopts proprietary multi-stage ethanol-water co-extraction technology, combined with macroporous resin purification and low-temperature vacuum concentration spray drying process. It effectively enriches and retains thermally sensitive A-type proanthocyanidins, removing redundant sugar and organic acid impurities. The finished product is standardized to 25% total Proanthocyanidins (PACs), tested and verified via the authoritative USP BL-DMAC detection method, ensuring consistent active content across all batches .
The product is uniform deep purple fine powder, with pure natural cranberry characteristic odor, no peculiar smell, fine and loose texture, no agglomeration, good water solubility and dispersion, convenient for various supplement formulation processing .
Manufacturing Control
Concentrate Sourcing: North American cranberry fruit concentrate is received with origin and spec documentation; PAC level and color values are screened at intake.
Extraction: The polyphenol fraction is recovered with food-grade ethanol-water extraction, protecting the temperature-sensitive type-A PAC structures.
Purification & Standardization: Resin and membrane steps concentrate PACs while reducing sugars and organic acids, moving the extract toward the 5% PAC specification.
Spray Drying & Blending: Gentle spray drying produces the fine red powder, and blending evens out natural batch variation before final release.
QC Release: BL-DMAC PAC assay, polyphenol profile, heavy metals, and microbials are verified; the cranberry extract bulk lot is packed with COA and retained samples.
The facility operates under an FSSC 22000 certified food safety management system, with validated cleaning between botanical campaigns and full batch documentation.
Product Benefits
