Freeze Dried Acai Berry Powder
Acai berries are among the new dietary superstars in modern life. Acai berry is a small purple fruit that is found on the Acai Palm in the Amazon jungle. Local people have enjoyed the fruit for centuries, but because it deteriorates rapidly after harvest, it has only recently been possible to transport premium quality acai berry powder worldwide. While the most well-known benefit of acai berry powder is weight loss, the Brazilian natives who have been using acai berry for centuries, claim numerous health benefits, including increased stamina and energy, treatment of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases, improved immunity, improved vision, improved digestion, reduced effect of aging, and increased sex drive.
Magic Ingredients
The 'magic ingredients' in acai berry powder are anthocyanins, potent antioxidants and fatty acids. Anthocyanins are well known for cardiovascular benefits including improved circulation, relaxed blood vessels, and improvement of atherosclerosis. Some researchers have also identified antiviral properties and promising indications for both prevention and treatment of cancer.There are only 90 calories in a 100-gram serving of acai, with only 2 grams of fat and no cholesterol. It also contains 3.5 grams of dietary fibre. The nutrients are all found within the skin and pulp of the berry. The natives traditionally pureed the fruit and used it as a sauce, discarding the seed. (Some manufacturers are processing the seeds as well as the pulp.) This may lower costs and increase volume, but the known health benefits of the acai are solely within the skin and pulp, and long-term effects of seed consumption have not been adequately studied.
Modern technology
Advancements in modern technology make it possible to harvest and preserve acai berry powder for international shipping.Two common preservation techniques are freeze drying and spray drying. Spray drying is the cheaper of the two alternatives. In the spray drying process, the acai berries are heated to high temperatures to remove the water and then sprayed with a carrier agent such as maltodextrin. There are two serious drawbacks to this process: first, the heat destroys many of the nutrients. Second, the carrier agent dilutes the concentration of actual acai by almost 50%. And due to a loophole in labeling laws, the maltodextrin will not be listed on the label.
Freeze Dried
Freeze dried acai powder is labelled as 'freeze dried'. All our products at Acai Berry UK are freeze dried to retain maximum quality. While the freeze drying process is more expensive, it also results in a purer, more nutritious supplement. In freeze drying, the fruit is first frozen to preserve nutrients at their peak, then dried to remove the water. Thus freeze dried acai powder is nearly 100% pure Acai. Another variation in acai products is the acai extract. However, the nutritive benefits of acai are contained in the whole fruit, so an 'extract' makes no sense. Furthermore, most 'extracts' are manufactured from spray dried acai. Our modern preservation and packaging techniques such as freeze drying enable us to ship our products worldwide.
