Lingonberry berry Extract Powder 100 g

Concentrated lingonberry extract powder for high performance formulation and industrial systems

Lingonberry extract powder derived from Vaccinium vitis idaea is a concentrated botanical ingredient obtained using controlled drying and standardization processes. It is known as Lingonberry Extract Powder and Vaccinium Vitis Idaea Fruit Extract Powder. This ingredient belongs to the category of functional plant extracts and is widely used in formulation systems as a source of polyphenols organic acids anthocyanins and other natural compounds. Compared to whole berry powder it provides higher concentration and allows lower dosage while maintaining formulation efficiency. The dry form ensures storage stability simplifies logistics and allows precise dosing in industrial production. In formulation systems it can dissolve in aqueous phase or form stable dispersions depending on composition. It is compatible with water emulsion gel and dry systems.

Behavior in formulation systems and processing

The extract is primarily added to the aqueous phase and remains stable within pH range of 4 to 7. This makes it suitable for cosmetic food and nutraceutical formulations. While it tolerates moderate heating it is recommended to add it below 45°C to preserve functional components. In emulsions it distributes evenly during homogenization and does not destabilize the system when properly formulated. In dry blends it mixes uniformly without agglomeration. In liquid systems pre dissolution in water glycerin or propanediol is recommended.

Impact on product characteristics

The extract influences color sensory profile and functional performance. In cosmetic systems it may provide natural tone and improve visual perception. In food systems it enhances berry flavor and aroma. In nutraceutical systems it is used as a concentrated plant ingredient. In gels and creams it has minimal impact on viscosity but can affect color intensity. In dry systems it ensures uniform distribution of active compounds.

Application areas and industries

Used in cosmetics food nutraceutical and contract manufacturing industries. Applied in creams serums masks beverages functional foods and powder blends.

Incorporation into formulations

Usage level 0.1 to 5 percent. Pre dissolution recommended. Control pH and temperature.

Recipe

Gel serum

Ingredients:
Water — 70 ml
Glycerin — 10 ml
Propanediol — 5 ml
Xanthan gum — 1 g
Lingonberry extract — 2 g
Preservative — 1 ml
Fragrance — 1 ml

Technology:
Water phase is heated to 40–45°C glycerin and propanediol are added and mixed until uniform. Xanthan gum is slowly dispersed under mixing to form a smooth gel. The extract is pre dissolved in water or glycerin and added to the gel at around 40°C. The mixture is stirred until fully uniform. Preservative and fragrance are added below 35°C and the final product is checked for stability.

Instruction
Ensure complete dissolution before use. Control temperature and pH. Avoid overheating. Perform compatibility testing.

Manufacturing stability and scalability

The extract provides consistent performance and stability during large scale production and ensures reproducible batch quality.
