Production Process
Elderberry powder is produced through either spray-drying or freeze-drying processes. Spray-drying involves pulverizing ripe elderberries after they have been spray-dried, which helps retain a maximum number of vitamins and minerals[1]. Freeze-drying involves freezing the berries and then removing the moisture, preserving the beneficial compounds of fresh berries[3].
