How do black-currant anthocyanins support eye comfort and night vision for screen-heavy lifestyles?

Delphinidin-rich anthocyanins accumulate in retinal pigment epithelium where they scavenge reactive oxygen species and improve micro-circulation. A 2021 double-blind trial (n = 60 office workers, 8 h screen time/day) found that 210 mg black-currant anthocyanins daily for eight weeks reduced eye-fatigue scores 16 % and shortened dark-adaptation time by 11 %. Our powder contains ~4 % anthocyanins; a 6 g serving supplies ~240 mg—matching the study dose in one scoop. The same serving delivers 33 mg vitamin C, which assists collagen in ocular vessels. Brands can position RTD sachets or gummies for “digital-eye comfort” with substantiated actives while avoiding synthetic colourants.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Claim-strength scale – High = multiple human studies; Moderate = a few trials; Emerging = early lab data.

Can Black-Currant Powder naturally replace FD&C Purple #2 in beverages?

Yes—the powder’s delphinidin/cyanidin anthocyanins give a stable violet hue at pH 2.8 – 3.5. A vitamin water with 0.4 % powder held colour ΔE < 2 after 12-week ambient storage—visually unchanged—while synthetic Purple #2 faces regulatory scrutiny in many markets.

Claim strength: High.

How does black-currant powder affect glycaemic response when used as a sweet-tart flavour?

Anthocyanins inhibit α-glucosidase, slowing starch digestion. In a crossover pilot, adding 150 mg anthocyanins (≈ 4 g powder) to a 50 g white-bread meal lowered 2 h glucose iAUC by 11 %. This helps lower post-meal blood-sugar spikes in granolas or breakfast drinks.

Claim strength: Emerging.

Is freeze-dried powder stable for infusion teas or hot beverages?

Anthocyanins lose ~10 % colour at 90 °C for 5 min; flavour volatiles remain vivid. A black-currant latte with 1 % powder retained 88 % antioxidant capacity after steam foaming, delivering 45 mg vitamin C per cup.

Claim strength: High.

Does the powder contribute meaningful immune-support nutrients?

A 5 g serving supplies ~28 mg vitamin C (31 % RDA) and 200 mg anthocyanins—both recognised by EFSA for supporting immune defence and protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Any oxalate or allergen issues?

Black currant oxalate is ~12 mg/5 g serving—far lower than spinach. Currants are not major allergens; standard “contains black-currant” labelling suffices for transparency.

Claim strength: High.
