II. Product Introduction
1. Source
Bilberry extract—anthocyanins 25%—is refined from the fruits of the bilberry plant, belonging to the genus Vaccinium within the Ericaceae family (Latin names: Vaccinium myrtillus L. / Vaccinium uliginosum L.). Its production process includes steps such as selecting high-quality raw materials, washing the raw materials, three-stage extraction, concentration, spray-drying into powder, sieving, and sterilization. Through a scientifically optimized extraction and purification process, this product maximizes the preservation of the active ingredients’ structure and efficacy. Bilberries are native to North America and are primarily found in regions of China including Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, and Xinjiang, where the raw materials boast excellent quality.
2. Core Efficacy and Applications
(1) The field of health food
Anthocyanins in bilberry extract possess antioxidant properties, enabling them to neutralize free radicals in the body and protect cells from oxidative damage. At the same time, they can promote the synthesis of rhodopsin in the retina of the eye, helping to alleviate visual fatigue. Based on these properties, bilberry extract can be used as an ingredient in health foods designed to relieve visual fatigue, such as tablets and capsules.
Blueberry anthocyanins can promote blood circulation in the eyes, relieve eye strain, and improve blurry vision. They are commonly used in dietary supplements such as eye-care capsules, tablets, and oral liquids, making them suitable for individuals who overuse their eyes, including students, office workers, and middle-aged and elderly people.
(2) The field of food additives
As a water-soluble natural pigment, anthocyanins from blueberry extract can be used in the food processing industry to provide natural purplish-red coloring for juices, jams, baked goods, dairy products, and other foods, thereby meeting consumers’ demand for natural and healthy food options.
(3) Cosmetics field
It boasts strong antioxidant properties, effectively neutralizing free radicals in the skin and slowing down skin aging. At the same time, it can inhibit melanin deposition. As a result, it’s commonly added to anti-aging serums, whitening masks, and moisturizing creams, making it suitable for a wide variety of skin types.(4) Functional Food and Beverage Sector
As a natural pigment and antioxidant, it can be added to fruit juices, fruit wines, and cereal snacks, enhancing both the product’s color and extending its shelf life—thus aligning with the growing consumer trend toward natural and healthy foods.III. Technical Specifications and Testing Standards
