Product Specifications

Product Characteristics & Formulation Advantages

This powder is made from only the best red dragon fruit utilising freeze drying technique that removes moisture while retaining up to 95-98% of the original cellular structure. This ensures that the colour intensity, aroma and micronutrient density are all kept at a level similar to that of fresh fruit – a major advantage over spray-dried options that utilise maltodextrin carriers.

This powder derives its bright magenta colour from naturally occurring betalains (betacyanins), providing a clean-label alternative to synthetic red colourants such as Red 40. The colour is stable in the pH range 3–7, which is perfect for most beverage and supplement applications. It is suitable for baked applications in low to medium heat conditions, however for procedures beyond 180°C, formulation changes are advised to retain colour integrity.

100% pure powder with no additional sugars, fillers or fake chemicals allows you to keep your completed product label simple and transparent, a real selling advantage in today's health-conscious markets.

Applications Across Industries

Functional Beverages & Superfood Blends

The powder disperses smoothly in both cold and warm beverages, minimising the sedimentation problems sometimes associated with fruit purees. It’s a good fit for smoothie mixes, superfood lattes, RTD energy blends and protein powders, providing natural colour and antioxidant benefits.

Confectionery & Bakery Clean Label

The betacyanin-rich powder is used in macarons, gums, frostings and natural candy coatings to offer a steady red to violet hue, without artificial colourants. Excellent colour retention for low heat applications such as gummy vitamins and frostings, no further encapsulation required.

Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals

This powder is filled with Vitamin C, iron, magnesium, fibre and antioxidants and is a potent active ingredient for capsule, tablet or sachet formulations with claims of immune support, digestive health and antioxidant characteristics.

Cosmetical Formulation

This powder’s strong antioxidant capacity and polysaccharide content make it an ideal addition to antioxidant face masks, brightening serums and skin hydration products, giving a bioactive plant-derived ingredient that adds both function and appeal.

Quality Assurance and Safety

Each batch is verified to meet a strict Certificate of Analysis (COA) before it is sent. Critical requirements for inspection are:

• Microbiological Safety: Total Plate Count <10,000CFU/g; Absence of Salmonella, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus
• Heavy Metals: Lead (Pb) <3.0 ppm, Arsenic (As) <1.0 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) <1.0 ppm — Tested by ICP-MS Moisture Control: Kept < 5.0% to prevent caking, microbiological development and lipid oxidation
• Purity Test: HPLC test for maltodextrin adulteration and betacyanin content
• Pesticide Screening: Tested for EU and USP compliance for residues

The production system is ISO 9001 certified and the product has HALAL and KOSHER certifications and satisfies dietary compliance criteria in worldwide markets.

Storage and Handling Guidelines

Due to the natural hygroscopicity of this bulk red dragonfruit powder, proper storage is a must. The high fruit sugar content means that moisture infiltration causes clumping and deterioration of colour.

• Store at < 25°C in a cool dry place, relative humidity < 60%
• Store in a sealed, airtight container until use and reseal immediately after opening.
• Store in nitrogen flushed vacuum sealed aluminium foil bags to protect antioxidant stability (bulk)
• Keep out of direct sunlight, heat sources or humid situations
• Shelf life 24 months in original unopened pack

Following these principles will help you maintain a free flowing, colour stable and fully active supply throughout its shelf life.

Packing and Delivery

Standard packing is 25kg/Drum with vacuum composite film or aluminium foil nitrogen-filled bags to protect the powder from moisture, light and oxidation during travel and storage.

We may offer customised packaging choices to match your brand requirements including lower unit sizes, multilingual labelling and anti-counterfeiting solutions. Shipping is offered by courier, air freight or ocean freight, depending on the volume of your order and the destination. Orders ship within 2-3 business days after order confirmation and full traceability paperwork is supplied with each shipment.

FAQ

Q1: What makes freeze-dried powder better than spray-dried for color-sensitive applications?

A: Freeze-drying preserves 95–98% of the original structure without heat damage, resulting in a more intense, stable color and richer flavor. Spray-dried versions often contain maltodextrin carriers that dilute both color strength and nutritional density.

Q2: How can I confirm the powder contains no hidden carriers or fillers?

A: Request the HPLC analysis report for maltodextrin content. Genuine 100% pure fruit powder will show minimal solubility additives, retain slight fruit fiber texture, and display a true intense flavor — unlike carrier-heavy versions that dissolve too cleanly.

Q3: Why does the powder sometimes clump during storage?

A: The powder is hygroscopic due to its natural fruit sugar matrix. Clumping is caused by moisture ingress. Always store below 25°C at <60% relative humidity in sealed, airtight packaging, ideally nitrogen-flushed aluminum foil bags.

Q4: Is the red color stable in baked goods and high-heat processes?

A: Betalains perform well in low-heat applications like gummies and frostings. Sustained temperatures above 180°C may cause browning. Encapsulation or pH buffering strategies can help preserve color in high-heat industrial baking environments.

Q5: Does this product meet international dietary and safety standards?

A: Yes. The product is ISO 9001, HALAL, and KOSHER certified and tested to meet EU and USP pesticide residue standards, making it suitable for global supplement, food, and cosmetic markets.

Q6: What is the minimum order quantity, and is custom packaging available?

A: Standard supply is in 25 kg drums. Custom quantities, labeling, and packaging formats are available through our OEM/ODM service. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
