Botanical Name: Euterpe Oleracea Martius
Country Of Origin: Brazil
Description: Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) Berry Fruit Juice Powder is made from the pulp of Euterpe oleracea, a palm native to the tropical regions of South America, especially the Amazon basin. The berries grow in dense clusters on tall palms and are collected when fully ripe. The fruit pulp has a naturally deep purple color, and the finished powder reflects the characteristic appearance and mild berry-like profile of the original juice.
Production begins with harvesting mature berries, which are then cleaned to remove field debris. The pulp is separated from the seeds, and the soft fruit material is pressed to obtain juice. This juice is filtered to create a uniform liquid suitable for drying. The filtered juice is converted into powder through a controlled drying method such as spray-drying, producing a stable and free-flowing ingredient. After drying, the powder is milled and sifted for consistency. Depending on processing needs, a carrier may be included during drying to support flow and stability.
Acai Berry Fruit Juice Powder is often used in culinary preparations that benefit from its fruit-derived colour and flavour. It can be added to smoothies, beverage mixes, desserts, baking recipes, snack blends, and powdered drink bases to provide a natural purple tone and berry note.
In crafting and cosmetic formulation, the powder serves as a plant-based coloring ingredient that can be incorporated into soaps, bath blends, and other creative projects. Its fine texture and recognizable pigment make it adaptable to a wide range of culinary, craft, and cosmetic uses.
