Blood Orange Powder

Blood Orange Powder is a natural, water-soluble fruit powder produced from high-quality red-fleshed blood oranges.
It delivers the authentic citrus flavor, vibrant red color, and nutritional components of the fresh fruit, while offering improved stability, solubility, and application flexibility for industrial formulations.

Jiuyuan Blood Orange Powder produced from Citrus sinensis Moro-type cultivars - the variety with the highest documented anthocyanin accumulation among blood orange types - each batch is spray-dried under validated conditions and standardized to ≥1.0% total anthocyanins and ≥0.5% cyanidin-3-glucoside by HPLC. The result is a deep reddish powder with a clean citrus flavor profile, a verifiable bioactive fingerprint, and a documentation package that holds up to regulatory scrutiny in both US and EU markets.

1. Raw fruit selection

2. Washing and extraction

3. Filtration

4. Concentration (low temperature)

5. Spray drying

6. Milling and sieving

7. Metal detection

8. Packaging in a controlled environment

Key advantages:

• Good water solubility
• Low moisture level
• Consistent quality
• Cost-effective for large-scale production

This is a distinction that matters more than most sourcing teams realize - and one that suppliers rarely explain with any precision.

Key insight: Blood orange powder occupies the middle ground between commodity citrus powders and high-cost standardized extracts. It delivers a clinically relevant bioactive profile - including the anthocyanins absent from all conventional orange powders - within a clean-label, whole-food ingredient declaration. For brands that need both label appeal and functional credibility without the regulatory complexity of a concentrated extract, it is often the most pragmatic choice.

Final dosage should be determined based on flavor intensity, formulation, and processing conditions.

Pain Points We Solve Directly

"We can't find a blood orange ingredient with consistent anthocyanin levels batch to batch." Anthocyanin content in blood orange is highly cultivar- and season-dependent. We address this through contracted farm sourcing, harvest-timing protocols, and HPLC verification on every production batch - not just periodic audits.

"The supplier's COA shows high anthocyanins, but our third-party lab gets very different numbers." We provide batch-specific HPLC chromatograms alongside the COA and actively support split-sample third-party verification before any purchase commitment. Discrepancies between in-house and third-party results are investigated and documented.

"We need an ingredient that works for both US and EU market labeling." Our powder holds both NOP (USDA) and EU Organic certification under a single SKU. It is classified as a conventional food ingredient under EU Regulation 2015/2283 - no Novel Food authorization required - simplifying regulatory pathways in both markets simultaneously.

"We need clinical substantiation for a weight management claim." A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on Moro blood orange Citrus sinensis standardized extract demonstrated statistically significant improvements in body mass (4.2% vs. 2.2%), BMI, waist circumference, and fat distribution versus placebo over 6 months. We can provide the full study reference and assist your regulatory team in assessing claim applicability for your specific formulation.

"Lead times are unpredictable and disrupt our production schedule." With 6,000+ tons annual processing capacity and a dedicated inventory buffer for high-velocity SKUs, standard lead times run 7–15 days for stocked grades.

Q1: What makes blood orange powder functionally different from regular orange powder?

A: The critical distinction is anthocyanin content. Conventional sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) varieties do not accumulate anthocyanins - their flesh and rind remain orange regardless of ripeness. Blood orange cultivars (Moro, Tarocco, Sanguinello) are unique within the Citrus genus in producing cyanidin-based anthocyanins, particularly cyanidin-3-glucoside, which is responsible for the characteristic red pigmentation and the majority of the documented functional differentiation. A standard orange powder contains no anthocyanins; our blood orange powder is standardized to ≥1.0% total anthocyanins by HPLC.

Q2: Is there clinical evidence supporting the use of blood orange ingredients in weight management formulas?

A: Yes - specifically for Moro cultivar-derived standardized extract. A 2022 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study published in Nutrients (PMC8838101) demonstrated that Moro blood orange Citrus sinensis extract produced statistically significant reductions in body mass, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, and both visceral and subcutaneous fat versus placebo over a 6-month intervention. Our powder is produced from Moro-type cultivars. Buyers intending to use this study for claim substantiation should consult their regulatory counsel regarding the applicability to their specific product format and dosage.

Q3: Does spray-drying significantly degrade the anthocyanin content of blood orange?

A: Processing conditions are the decisive variable. Blood orange polyphenols are susceptible to oxidative degradation, but research confirms that properly optimized spray-drying conditions can actually concentrate total polyphenol content and total monomeric anthocyanins relative to the starting liquid fraction. Our spray-drying parameters are validated and documented, and finished-product anthocyanin content is verified by HPLC on every batch - not inferred from raw material values.

Q4: What is the minimum order quantity, and how do samples work?

A: The commercial MOQ is 25 kg. Pre-purchase evaluation samples (200g–500g) are available at nominal cost, with the sample fee credited against your first commercial order. Sample dispatch typically occurs within 3–5 business days of inquiry confirmation. Full TDS and COA are provided with every sample shipment.

Q5: Is this product suitable for EU Novel Food compliance?

A: Blood orange powder derived from Citrus sinensis whole fruit is a conventional food ingredient with a well-documented history of consumption in the EU and is not classified as a Novel Food under EU Regulation 2015/2283. This distinguishes it from some concentrated blood orange extracts that may require Novel Food authorization depending on concentration and intended use. Buyers are advised to verify compliance with their national competent authority for their specific application, dosage, and any associated health claims under EU Regulation 1924/2006.

Q6: Can you supply a carrier-free, additive-free grade?

A: Yes. Our standard spray-dried grade is produced without maltodextrin or any other carrier. A maltodextrin-assisted grade (5–7% w/w) is available as a separate SKU for buyers who require improved flowability and instant dispersibility in sachet or stick-pack applications. Both grades are clearly differentiated in their respective TDS documents and priced accordingly.

Q7: How should the powder be stored, and what is the realistic shelf life after opening?

A: Unopened: 24 months at ≤25°C, in the original sealed packaging, away from direct light and moisture. After opening: reseal immediately under the same storage conditions and consume within 3–6 months. Nitrogen-flushed resealing is strongly recommended for extended post-opening storage, as anthocyanins are susceptible to oxidative degradation upon prolonged air exposure. Water activity (Aw ≤0.40) is monitored as part of our stability program.

Q8: Can you accommodate custom specifications - higher anthocyanin standardization, specific cultivar, or custom mesh size?

A: Yes on all three. Beyond our catalogue specifications, we accept custom production requests for single-cultivar sourcing (Moro, Tarocco, or Sanguinello), higher anthocyanin standardization (e.g., ≥1.5% or ≥2.0%), and mesh size up to 100 mesh - subject to minimum volume commitments. Please provide your target specification sheet at the inquiry stage and our technical team will assess feasibility, lead time, and pricing.
