Bulk Camu-Camu Powder for Beverage & Nutrition Manufacturing
Camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) is an Amazonian fruit with a very tart flavor, documented in the literature as extremely rich in vitamin C. It is used in small doses, and the assay by lot is the number that matters.
Camu-Camu as a manufacturing ingredient
Camu-camu is a niche ingredient with concentrated supply. It grows along rivers in the Amazon basin and is produced in more than one country, so origin, harvest period and traceability need to be confirmed lot by lot.
Formulators usually pair it with a sweetener and flavor system that makes the tartness work, or use it as a vitamin C-bearing option alongside acerola.
Sensory profile: Very sour and acidic, with a citrus-like character. Typically used at low inclusion levels.

Technical and formulation considerations
Very tart
The acidity is strong enough to dominate a formulation. Dose it low and plan the sweetener and flavor system around it.
The assay decides
As with acerola, vitamin C content by lot, with a stated method, is what you specify. Ask what share of the powder is fruit and whether any carrier is present.
Seasonal, concentrated supply
Supply is centered in the Amazon basin and can be seasonal. Confirm the country, harvest window and traceability for the lot you are approving.
Moisture and caking
Acidic powders pick up moisture. Barrier packaging and dry storage keep the powder free-flowing.

Camu-Camu: frequently asked questions
Where does the camu-camu come from?
Camu-camu grows in the Amazon basin. The country and region for a proposed lot are confirmed in the technical dossier and the RFQ response.
Camu-camu or acerola?
Both are used as naturally vitamin C-bearing fruit ingredients. Acerola is generally easier to work with sensorially; camu-camu is much more tart. Many projects evaluate both against the same assay target.
What is the current format?
The current catalog listing is a freeze-dried powder. Other formats are evaluated on request.
