Blueberry extract is a natural phytochemical derived from Vaccinium species via solvent extraction. It is primarily characterized by high concentrations of anthocyanins, specifically cyanidin-3-glucoside (CAS 7084-24-6). The molecular formula for the core pigment is C21H21O11. Production involves standardized drying and ethanol maceration to ensure consistent polyphenol content.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C with low humidity to prevent degradation. While generally recognized as safe (GRAS), it is not approved as a standalone clinical drug treatment. Industrial handling mandates dust masks and eye protection during powder processing.
