Product Introduction

Purple Sweet Potato Powder is a natural food ingredient derived from the dried tuber flesh of Ipomoea batatas. By utilizing a physical grinding process rather than chemical extraction, we retain the full matrix of naturally occurring starches, dietary fiber, and anthocyanins. This ingredient serves as a functional raw material for food manufacturers seeking a natural, dry-source purple colorant and nutrient boost for bakery, confectionery, and beverage formulations.

Production Process

Greenherb employs a controlled physical processing sequence:
  1. Tuber Sorting​ – Manual selection to remove damaged or green tubers, ensuring only high-quality raw material enters production.
  2. Washing & Peeling​ – High-pressure brush cleaning and abrasive peeling to remove soil and skin without excessive loss of flesh.
  3. Slicing​ – Uniform cutting into thin slices to ensure even dehydration and prevent case-hardening.
  4. Low-Temp Dehydration​ – Belt drying at controlled temperatures (<60°C) to remove moisture while preserving heat-sensitive pigments.
  5. Cryogenic Milling​ – Mechanical micronization to achieve ultra-fine particles without frictional heat damage.
  6. Sieving & Blending​ – Classification by mesh size and homogeneous blending for batch consistency.
  7. Laboratory Testing​ – QC verification of moisture, color uniformity, heavy metals, and microbiological safety.
  8. Secure Packaging​ – Double-layer PE bags with desiccants, sealed within light-proof fiber drums.
