Elderberry Extract – Anthocyanins
Elderberry anthocyanins are natural active ingredients extracted from elderberry fruits. Their primary effects include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting actions. They are commonly used as an adjunct to help alleviate cold symptoms, promote cardiovascular health, and slow down the aging process. The antioxidant capacity of elderberry anthocyanins stems from their high concentration of anthocyanins, such as cyanidin-3-glucoside.

II. Product Introduction
1. Source
Elderberry extract—anthocyanin 25%—is refined from the fruits of Sambucus nigra L., a plant belonging to the genus Sambucus within the Caprifoliaceae family. Its production process includes several steps: 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. Elderberry is widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and North America, and in China, it is primarily found in regions such as Northeast China, North China, and Northwest China, where the raw materials boast excellent quality.
2. Core Efficacy and Applications
(1) The field of health food
Anthocyanins found in elderberry extract—primarily cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and cyanidin-3-O-sambubioside—exhibit immunomodulatory effects, activating immune cells and enhancing the body’s immune response. At the same time, these anthocyanins work synergistically with other components in the extract, such as rutin and chlorogenic acid, to support the health of the gut-immune axis. Clinical studies have shown that elderberry extract can shorten the duration of the common cold and alleviate its symptoms. Several meta-analyses have confirmed its clear efficacy in improving upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). Consequently, elderberry extract is well-suited for developing immune-supportive dietary supplements, including capsules, gummies, and powdered drinks.
(2) Respiratory Health Field
In terms of respiratory health maintenance, elderberry extract can alleviate discomfort symptoms such as nasal congestion and cough by reducing inflammatory responses in the bronchial mucosa. Its active components inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in lung cells, thereby mitigating oxidative stress damage caused by viral infections and promoting the recovery of respiratory function. In vitro studies have shown that anthocyanins in the extract can bind to viral surface glycoproteins, interfering with viral attachment and demonstrating antiviral potential, making them suitable as raw materials for respiratory health-related products.
(3) Cosmetics field
As a naturally water-soluble pigment, the anthocyanins in elderberry extract can impart a natural purplish-red hue to foods, meeting consumers’ demand for natural and healthy food additives. It is suitable for a variety of food processing applications, including juices, jams, candies, baked goods, and more. While providing coloring effects, it also delivers certain bioactive plant compounds, thereby enhancing the added value of the products.(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
