Bulk Elderberry Extract Powder 25% Anthocyanins/17%Anthocyanosides

Elderberry extract is a natural active concentrate extracted from the mature berries of *Sambucus nigra* L., a plant belonging to the *Sambucus* genus of the Caprifoliaceae family, using modern processing techniques. Its core components include anthocyanins, flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol, triterpenoid derivatives, and phenolic acids. These bioactive substances collectively constitute the multidimensional efficacy system highly valued in both traditional herbal medicine and modern pharmacology.

Key Constituents

The biological activity of elderberry extract primarily stems from its abundance of polyphenols, flavonoids, and other active substances.

Polyphenols

Anthocyanins are among the most significant active constituents in elderberry extract and are responsible for the deep purple coloration of its fruit. These primarily include cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-sambubioside. These anthocyanins possess potent antioxidant capabilities; studies have demonstrated that their antioxidant potential surpasses that of both Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

Flavonoids

Elderberry extract is rich in various flavonoid compounds, such as quercetin, kaempferol, and their glycoside derivatives. Flavonoids play a pivotal role in antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory processes.

Other Constituents

In addition to the aforementioned components, elderberry extract also contains organic acids (e.g., chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid), iridoid glycosides (e.g., morroniside), triterpene saponins (e.g., ursolic acid, oleanolic acid), as well as Vitamin C. These constituents act synergistically to collectively form the pharmacological basis of the extract.

Manufacturing Process

Extraction Method

In industrial production, elderberry extract is typically produced using water-based or water-ethanol extraction processes. Fresh or frozen elderberries are washed and crushed, then subjected to extraction using water or a low-concentration ethanol solution to preserve heat-sensitive and water-soluble active constituents (such as anthocyanins). The resulting extract is subsequently processed through steps such as filtration and concentration (e.g., membrane filtration, spray drying, or freeze-drying) to yield a final powder product.
