HALAL and KOSHER certified. 25KG/DRUM bulk packing. Shipped within 2-3 working days. Trusted clean label ingredient for food, beverage, nutraceutical and cosmetics industries throughout the world.

Product Specifications

Product Characteristics & Technical Advantages

The colour scheme of this product is based on the pigment class of betalains (betacyanins), which are the natural colourants that provide the eye-catching colour of the red pitaya fruit. This makes the powder a straight, clean-label replacement for synthetic red dyes like Red 40, without the regulatory issues of artificial colourants.

Betacyanins are stable in the pH range of 3–7, which covers most acidic beverages and dairy applications. It works nicely as a baking powder at moderate heat. Slight colour change may occur with extended temperatures above 180°C. Formulation changes are needed for high temperature commercial baking.

Excellent flowability and dispersion, particle size 60–80 mesh. Moisture level is maintained at less than 5% to minimise clumping, microbial development, and fat oxidation during storage and transport.

Application Areas

Functional Beverages & RTD Mixes – The powder dissolves cleanly in water, avoiding sedimentation problems associated with fruit purees. It’s suitable for superfood lattes, energy drinks, smoothie blends and instant powder sachets. The stable nature of the betacyanins ensures colour fidelity throughout a wide acidic pH range.

Confectionery, Bakery & Dairy — Natural pink-to-red colourant with no artificial additives. Ideal for macarons, candies, icing, yoghurt and desserts. Its clean-label designation facilitates on-pack “no artificial colors” claims, an increasing consumer demand in premium food categories.

Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements – Retained micronutrient profile – including Vitamin C, iron and magnesium – supports nutritional claims in both capsule and powder supplement formulations. Besides colouring alone, it has functional benefit with its natural antioxidant capacity (ORAC value).

Cosmetic Formulations The high polysaccharide content and antioxidant capacity support claims of skin hydration and brightness. It’s increasingly added to antioxidant face masks and brightening serum formulas.

Quality Assurance and Safety

Every production batch of red dragonfruit powder goes through a multi-phase quality examination. Raw materials are screened at intake, monitored during production and tested again as final goods.

The critical parameters that are checked on each Certificate of Analysis (COA) are:

• Microbiology: Total Plate Count <10,000 CFU/g Strictly No Salmonella, E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus
• Heavy Metals: Lead (Pb) <3.0 ppm, Arsenic (As) <1.0 ppm, Cadmium (Cd) <1.0 ppm tested by ICP-MS
• Moisture & Water Activity: Maintained below 5% to avoid caking and degradation
• Pesticide Residues: EU/USP standards tested.
• Purity check: HPLC testing indicates no undeclared carrier agents such as maltodextrin

ISO 9001 certified facility and products approved HALAL and KOSHER for compliance in international markets. 

Storage and Handling Guidelines

This powder is naturally hygroscopic because of the high fruit sugar content. Proper storage immediately impacts colour stability, texture and shelf life.

• Store below 25°C in a cool dry place, below 60% relative humidity.
• Keep sealed and airtight when not in use.
• Keep away from sunshine and high temperature environment
• After opening, transfer to nitrogen-flushed or vacuum-sealed containers to minimise oxidation.
• Shelf life 24 months from manufacturing date under proper conditions

If clumping occurs after opening, it is generally a symptom of moisture intrusion, not a quality issue. You may stop this by resealing it properly after each usage.

FAQ

Q1: Is this powder 100% pure fruit with no added carriers?

A: Yes. This product is a 100% pure product with no maltodextrin or other carrier agents added. HPLC testing can confirm purity on each COA.

Q2: How does it perform in beverage formulations?

A: It disperses readily in water and performs well across acidic pH ranges (3–7). It eliminates the sedimentation problems commonly seen with fruit purees, making it practical for RTD and instant drink applications.

Q3: Can it be used as a natural colorant to replace synthetic dyes?

A: Yes. The natural betacyanin content delivers a vibrant magenta-red hue. It is a clean-label alternative to synthetic red dyes and supports "no artificial colors" labeling.

Q4: Will color and quality vary between batches?

A: Controlled processing and full-batch quality testing maintain consistent appearance, moisture, solubility, and other specified attributes across production runs.

Q5: What packaging options are available for bulk orders?

A: Standard packaging is 25kg/drum. Customized packaging including aluminum foil nitrogen-filled bags and vacuum composite film options are available. OEM labeling and multilingual packaging can also be arranged.

Q6: What certifications does the product hold?
