In the functional food and dietary supplement market, raw material quality is no longer just a preference—it’s a non-negotiable requirement. For buyers sourcing whole-fruit freeze-dried raspberry powder, distinguishing between premium suppliers and commodity producers hinges on one key factor: credible third-party test reports like those from SGS or CQC.
Traditional raspberry powders often use broken fruit, which loses structural integrity during processing—leading to lower nutrient retention and inconsistent texture. In contrast, whole-fruit freeze-dried raspberry powder retains over 95% of intact berries, as verified by independent lab analysis. This isn't just marketing—it's science-backed. A study published in Food Chemistry (2023) found that intact freeze-dried fruits retain up to 27% more anthocyanins than crushed alternatives due to reduced oxidation during drying.
For manufacturers developing high-end probiotic blends or clean-label supplements, consistency in particle size and composition is critical. With >95% whole fruit rate, your supplier ensures:
“In 2024, 78% of European nutraceutical brands reported stricter raw material specifications for raspberry powder—especially regarding microbial limits and physical integrity.” — Global Ingredients Report, Q1 2024
| Test Parameter | Acceptable Range | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Anthocyanin Content | ≥ 12% (dry basis) | Indicator of antioxidant potency |
| Microbial Load (CFU/g) | ≤ 10⁴ | Critical for shelf-life stability |
| Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, As) | Below EU Food Safety Limits | Compliance with global import standards |
A reliable supplier will provide full transparency—not just pass/fail results but also methodology details and batch-specific data. If the report lacks HACCP or ISO 22000 certification, it may indicate poor process control.
