Amla Powder

Our Amla Powder, also known as Amla Churna or Indian Gooseberry Powder, originates from Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, India. This region is a globally recognised geographical indication (GI) belt for superior quality amla, thriving at elevations between 100-150 metres. The unique soil and climatic conditions of Pratapgarh contribute to the fruit's distinctive phytochemical profile, which is critical for bulk buyers seeking consistent efficacy.

The harvest season in this region typically runs from October to March, ensuring a reliable supply window for global trade. Sourcing from this specific origin guarantees genuine Emblica officinalis, essential for product integrity and compliance in demanding markets, and allows for complete traceability back to the farm gate.

Our Amla Powder is a whole-fruit, 80-mesh fine powder, reflecting a premium grade suitable for diverse industrial applications. Key parameters include a characteristic dull greenish-brown to yellowish-brown colour, free-flowing texture, and the absence of foreign matter or off-odours. We ensure moisture content is kept below 5-6%, significantly lower than the general Indian standard of 12%, to enhance shelf stability and prevent microbial growth during transit and storage.

Crucial for functional food and nutraceutical applications, our Amla Powder retains high levels of natural Vitamin C and total phenolic compounds. We adhere to the Indian 'Special' grade benchmark for Vitamin C, ensuring a minimum of 150 mg/100gm on a dry basis, although typically achieving higher concentrations. Rigorous testing for total ash (max 12%) and acid-insoluble ash (max 3%) verifies the product's purity and minimal inorganic matter, aligning with global buyer expectations for unadulterated botanical ingredients.

Ensuring the highest safety standards, our Amla Powder undergoes steam sterilisation, guaranteeing it is ethylene-oxide (ETO) free – a critical compliance factor for the European Union, where ETO fumigation is not approved and can lead to product recalls. For the US market, while not explicitly banned, ETO is heavily regulated by the FDA, making an ETO-free product highly desirable to avoid import detentions.

Microbiological integrity is paramount. Our product is tested to ensure Salmonella is completely absent in 25g, meeting stringent EU requirements. Aflatoxin levels are strictly controlled, complying with EU limits of 5.0 µg/kg for Aflatoxin B1 and 10.0 µg/kg for Total Aflatoxins. For the US, we adhere to a limit of not more than 5 ppb (µg/kg) for Aflatoxin B1 and 20 ppb (µg/kg) for Total Aflatoxins in botanical articles.

We conduct comprehensive third-party testing for heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury) and pesticide residues (MRLs) to meet global regulatory frameworks. For example, Lead levels are kept below 0.60 ppm (mg/kg) for dried spices, aligning with EU Regulation (EU) 2023/915. Additionally, we verify the absence of Sudan dyes, which are strictly prohibited by both EU and FDA regulations due to their potential health risks. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and a Phytosanitary Certificate, providing full transparency and traceability.

The global demand for Amla Powder, also known as Amalaki or Indian Gooseberry Powder, is robust and growing, driven primarily by its application in natural health products and nutraceuticals. Its rich concentration of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and polyphenols makes it a highly sought-after ingredient for enhancing nutritional profiles and supporting immunity, digestion, and skin health. This demand positions Amla as a key component for food manufacturers, health supplement brands, and wellness professionals worldwide.

Major importing countries for Amla powder include the United States, South Korea, and Japan, reflecting a strong market in Asia and North America for functional ingredients. Other significant destinations from India are the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, where it is valued for both its traditional Ayurvedic uses and its incorporation into modern cosmetic formulations. The consistent growth trajectory of the Amla extract market underscores its increasing importance in the global bulk trade.

Our Amla Powder (Indian Gooseberry Powder) is classified under the Harmonized System (HS) code 1211.90 globally, and specifically under India's HSN code 1211 90 29 for Amla fruit powder (organic/medicinal). This precise classification facilitates efficient customs clearance and international trade for bulk buyers.

We offer a range of bulk packaging solutions designed to preserve product integrity and extend shelf life to 18-24 months when stored in cool, dry conditions. Common pack formats include robust, food-grade, moisture-proof multi-wall paper bags or HDPE drums, typically available in 10kg, 25kg, and 50kg sizes. While specific minimum order quantities (MOQs) depend on destination and current stock, we work closely with importers and distributors to meet their sourcing needs, offering flexibility for both trial and recurrent orders. All shipments are managed under agreed Incoterms, providing clarity and security for international transactions.
