Botanical ingredient sourcing
Build a maqui berry powder purchasing brief around the berry fraction, declared processing and the sensory demands of your project.
The category refers to Aristotelia chilensis berry material. Confirm whole-fruit versus juice-derived powder and identify any carrier or other ingredient. A concentrated or standardized extract is a different material and should not be substituted without an agreed specification.
Ask about the fruit fraction, processing declaration, particle-size and moisture methods, and relevant microbiological and contaminant documents. If a color or marker measurement is requested, define the method and acceptance criteria with the supplier instead of assuming a standardized content.
Evaluate purple color contribution, flavor, dispersion and sediment in your own food matrix. Discuss sample handling and the evidence required for storage and stability decisions. Sample and test documents require confirmation.
Share your sample purpose, application, destination market, order range, packaging and requested timing. Ask the proposed supplier to confirm COA, relevant safety information, ingredient declaration and process documents. Sample availability, application suitability and commercial terms require confirmation.
