Our certified organic powders are made with top quality raw materials directly sourced in the Amazon Rainforest and freeze dried from single strenght purees. WE DO NOT USE ANY CONCENTRATED ACAI as raw material, which guarantees the highest ORAC level available in the market.
ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY
The high content of prolyphenol compounds found in acai is directly responsilble for the berry's antioxidant properties, playing an important role f fighting oxidative stress caused by the action of free radicals.
Anthocyanins are found in onver 300 substances in nature. Two of them (Cyanidin 3-glucoside and Cyanidin 3-rutinoside) are predominat in acai, providing the fruit the deep purple characteristc color, which is preserved in the freeze dried acai.
In addition to the anthocyanins, other polyphenols improve the antioxidant strenght of the acai that is measured by the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) analysis.
WHAT IS FREEZE DRYING?
Fresh fruits are carefuly cleaned and whased and before the pulp is extracted. After the extration, the pulp is then pasteurized and frozen. Once the pulp is properly frozen, it is submited to very low pressure in vaccum chmabers, and the water eliminated by sublimation. This dehydration method is called freeze drying. It is considered the best drying method, once the original nutritional profile remains almost intact.
SAFETY
Our paramenters for freeze drying acai were carefully defined in order to ensure the maximum preservation of the bioactive components of the fruit.
The materials used are inspected and approved by suppliers and the entire chain is controlled by a monitoring process and quality control analyses in order to guarantee total microbiological safety and preservation of the fruit's nutritional characteristics
*GMP/HACCP are implemented.
