Sea Buckthorn Berry Powder

Sea Buckthorn Berry Powder is made from the small, bright orange berries of Hippophae rhamnoides, a thorny shrub that grows in the cold, dry mountains of the Himalaya and Central Asia. The berries are famous for their tart taste and their high content of vitamin C, carotenoids and rare omega-7 fatty acids.

Arizone International supplies Sea Buckthorn Berry Powder to herbal, Ayurvedic, food and nutraceutical manufacturers, traders, private label brands and bulk buyers. Grade, mesh size, packaging and quantity can all be set to your specification.

What Is

Sea buckthorn grows naturally in harsh, high-altitude regions, including Ladakh, Lahaul-Spiti and other parts of the Indian Himalaya, where it is known as Leh berry or Tsestalulu. The berries are hard to harvest because they cling tightly to thorny branches, which adds to their value.

The berries are rich in vitamin C, carotenoids such as beta-carotene, flavonoids and vitamin E. Their pulp also contains palmitoleic acid (omega-7), a fatty acid found in very few plants. The powder has a bright orange colour and a sharp, fruity, tangy taste.

The berries are cleaned and either freeze-dried whole and milled into powder, which keeps most of the colour, aroma and nutrients, or pressed into juice that is spray-dried with a small amount of carrier such as maltodextrin. Freeze-dried powder is the premium option, while spray-dried juice powder dissolves more easily in drinks.

Tips for Buyers and Formulators

State whether the powder is freeze-dried whole berry or spray-dried juice with a carrier, as this affects price, colour and label claims.

Sea buckthorn powder absorbs moisture and its vitamin C breaks down with heat and light, so pack it with a desiccant in light-proof bags and store it cool.
