HACCP Certified Production
“We operate a HACCP-certified facility, fully compliant with Victorian Food Safety regulations.”
Our Australian Freeze-Dried Blackberry Powder is a premium, high-potency ingredient designed for manufacturers seeking to capture the deep pigment, complex tartness, and antioxidant density of real blackberries. By utilizing advanced lyophilisation at sub-zero temperatures, we preserve the heat-sensitive anthocyanins and vitamins that are often lost in standard powder production. This ultra-fine, highly soluble powder offers a clean-label solution for functional beverages, sports nutrition, and gourmet confectionery, providing a luxurious dark-purple hue and a concentrated forest-fruit flavour without the need for artificial additives or juice concentrates.
- 100% Australian-Grown Blackberries
- Intense natural dark purple pigment (high anthocyanin content)
- Ultra-fine mesh for seamless integration into powders and liquids
- Clean Label: 100% pure fruit with no maltodextrin, carriers, or added sugar
- Ideal for smoothie blends, antioxidant health supplements, premium protein powders, botanical teas, and natural food colouring
The B2B Advantage: Superior Solubility and Natural Pigmentation
In the functional food and beverage sector, visual appeal and solubility are critical for consumer acceptance. Freeze-dried blackberry powder provides an unmatched, vibrant "obsidian" hue that serves as a 100% natural colorant for high-end formulations. Unlike spray-dried powders that rely on carriers like maltodextrin—which dilute the flavour and change the nutritional profile—our powder is 100% fruit. This ensures a clean ingredient deck and a more potent antioxidant profile per gram, allowing R&D teams to achieve target flavour and colour profiles with lower inclusion rates.
Our specialized milling process ensures a consistent particle size, preventing "specking" or sedimentation in liquid applications, making it the preferred choice for premium RTD (Ready-to-Drink) beverages and functional waters.
Preserving Bioactive Compounds through Cold-Processing
Blackberries are renowned for their high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value, specifically their high levels of polyphenols. Our cold-processing freeze-drying technique prevents the thermal degradation and oxidation that occur during traditional high-heat dehydration. This preserves the natural astringency and earthy sweetness of the berry, as well as its delicate nutrient profile. By choosing Aussie Rich, you are ensuring your final product delivers the functional efficacy that health-conscious consumers demand, backed by the premium reputation of Australian agriculture.
Wholesale Logistics: Stability for Large-Scale Production
Fresh blackberries are highly seasonal and extremely fragile, making them a difficult raw material for year-round production. Aussie Rich’s freeze-dried blackberry powder offers a shelf-stable, zero-waste alternative. It is lightweight and requires no refrigeration, drastically reducing your carbon footprint and shipping costs compared to frozen purees. With a reliable shelf life of 18–24 months when stored in a cool, dry environment, bulk buyers can hedge against seasonal supply fluctuations and ensure consistent production cycles with a predictable cost-per-unit.
B2B Comparison: Freeze-Dried Powder vs. Standard Spray-Dried Powder
| Quality Factor | Aussie Rich Freeze-Dried (Premium) | Standard Spray-Dried Powder |
|---|---|---|
| Purity | 100% Pure: No fillers, no maltodextrin, no flowing agents. | Diluted: Often contains 30-50% carrier agents (maltodextrin). |
| Antioxidant Retention | Maximized: Cold-processing protects heat-sensitive polyphenols. | Lowered: High heat degrades vitamins and antioxidants. |
| Colour Intensity | Deep & Vibrant: Natural dark purple/black hues. | Muted: Can appear beige or pale purple due to fillers. |
| Flavour Impact | Authentic Berry: Bold, tart, and earthy forest-berry notes. | Weak: Muted flavour profile that requires "natural flavours" support. |
