Dehydrated Purple Yam Powder: 10% Anthocyanins (HPLC) for Food, Beverage and Supplement Brands

Made by plant extraction in China, this standardized ingredient from BioSpark (Xi'an) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is dehydrated purple yam powder with 10% anthocyanins, verified by HPLC. It is a purple to dark purple fine powder with a mild tuber-like odor, sieved to 100–120 mesh. Moisture is 7% or below, and bulk density is 0.4–0.6 g/ml. The powder dissolves in water and is slightly soluble in ethanol. It is packed in 25 kg drums, with a minimum order of 1 kg for business customers. OEM and ODM services are available.

Product Overview

Fresh purple tubers are seasonal, perishable and labor-intensive to peel. A powder is easier to store and dose, and it gives formulators a natural purple tone for ube-style products.

To make this dehydrated purple yam powder, the tubers are washed, peeled, cut and juiced. The pulp returns to the extraction tank for gentle water extraction, which recovers anthocyanins and polysaccharides left in the pulp. The extract is precision-filtered, combined with the first juice and concentrated under low-temperature vacuum. Depending on the formula, maltodextrin and anti-caking agents are added for flow and stability. The concentrate is then spray-dried, jet-milled, sieved and sterilized at low temperature.

The main anthocyanins are cyanidin-3-glucoside and peonidin-3-glucoside. Dietary fiber, resistant starch, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals are also associated with purple yam, but their levels in this powder are not stated on this page. Because carriers may be used depending on the formula, please confirm the ingredient declaration for the grade you need.

COA

Request a Certificate of Analysis before you order. Your QA team can check the anthocyanin content (HPLC) against your own purchasing standard and compare batches.

Certifications

The listed certifications are ISO 9001, Kosher, Halal, FDA and GMP. Please contact us to confirm the current documents and their scope for your market, whether for product registration or retailer audits.

Quality Control

Each batch is tested in the laboratory for purity, consistency and safety, and anthocyanin content is verified by HPLC. Other test items and limits are not listed on this page, so please confirm them against the COA of the batch you order.

Functional Properties

Anthocyanins are natural pigments that are widely studied for their antioxidant properties. Fiber and resistant starch are also of interest in nutrition formulas. The powder can serve as a plant-based source of purple color in products that avoid synthetic dyes. This page makes no disease-related claims, and claims on finished products must follow the rules of your target market.

Application Areas

In trial formulations, dehydrated purple yam powder can be evaluated in the following product types:

• Bakery and confectionery: breads, biscuits, cakes, fillings, frozen dough, ice cream and dairy products. Run a stability trial under your own baking or freezing conditions.
• Beverages and instant mixes: ube-style lattes, boba tea, dairy drinks and plant-based milks. The powder is sieved to 100–120 mesh, so test dispersion in your base.
• Nutritional products: meal replacement powders, capsules and tablets.
• Other foods: fruit and vegetable purees.

  

Customization Options

Beyond the standard 10% grade, dehydrated purple yam powder can be discussed in other forms for different formulas:

• Whole-tuber spray-dried powder for solid drinks and meal replacements
• High-anthocyanin fine powder for colorants and antioxidant products
• Water-soluble instant powder for functional drinks
• Bakery powder for coloring pastry, bread and biscuits
• Blends with blueberry or black goji

Availability, specifications and minimum quantities for these forms are confirmed on inquiry. Color stability depends on pH and processing conditions, so a small pilot trial is recommended.

Packaging, Storage and Shipping

The standard packing is 25 kg per drum. Store the powder in a cool, dry, dark place. The stated shelf life is 12–18 months below 25°C and below 60% relative humidity. Inner packaging details are not specified on this page, so please confirm them when you request a quote.

FAQ

1. How does pH affect color stability?

Anthocyanin color depends on pH. It tends to shift toward red or pink in acidic systems and toward blue-green in alkaline ones. Test the powder in your own formula to confirm the result.

2. Does the dehydrated purple yam powder contain carriers?

Depending on the formula, maltodextrin and anti-caking agents may be used. Both pure powder and maltodextrin-stabilized versions are offered, so please state which one you need and request the ingredient declaration before ordering.

3. What is the shelf life?

The shelf life is 12–18 months when stored below 25°C and below 60% relative humidity.

4. Is it GMO-free?

Non-GMO status is not documented on this page. Please ask for supporting documents before ordering.

5. Can it be used in high-heat extrusion?

No extrusion test data are provided here. Anthocyanin color and stability can change with heat, time and pH, so we recommend a pilot trial before scale-up.

6. What are the order terms?

The minimum order is 1 kg, for business customers only. T/T is the preferred payment, and OEM and ODM services are available.
