Organic Functional Beverage Ingredients — EU Sourcing for Formulators
Source organic juice concentrates, fruit powders and botanical extracts for functional beverages. Polyphenol-rich, CoA-backed, multi-supplier quotes via TANDOR.
Functional beverage formulators increasingly specify measurable ingredient values — anthocyanins per 100 ml, total polyphenols — tested by a third-party lab. The ingredient side has to keep up, and that is where most B2B sourcing breaks down.
TANDOR looks for organic and conventional ingredients matched to beverage formats: aronia juice concentrate at 65-70 Brix from Polish organic plantations (anthocyanin values on the supplier CoA), sea-buckthorn puree and oil-free juice from Romanian growers, rosehip fruit powder spray-dried from Bulgaria and Romania, and hawthorn berry extract from Bulgarian wild-collection sites. For acidulants and natural sweetness modulation, single-origin Romanian acacia honey is also available in food-grade drums. We ask suppliers for the marker assay the formulator needs — anthocyanin by pH-differential for aronia, vitamin C and carotenoid profile for sea-buckthorn, total phenolics for rosehip.
Quality documentation per lot covers Brix and acidity for concentrates, microbiological load against beverage-grade specs, pesticide residues under EU Reg. 396/2005, heavy metals under EU 2023/915, and, for organic lots, the organic certificate with control body ID. For formulators working on shelf-stable RTD lines, accelerated stability data on prior production lots is available so the development team can budget for colour drift, sediment risk and active-marker retention before pilot batches commit. Packaging is typically 250 kg aseptic bags-in-drum for concentrates and 25 kg lined cartons for powders. Tell us the format, active target and pack size, and we come back by email with named-supplier offers, sample availability and the supplier's price and delivery terms.
