What Makes Our Freeze-Dried Lemon Powder Different?

​​​​​​​The use of high heat in traditional methods of lemon processing results in substantial degradation of vitamin C and loss of volatile aromatic compounds from the fruit bioactives. Our freeze drying technique is conducted under vacuum at below -40℃, where moisture sublimates directly from solid to vapour phase without going thru liquid stage.

This method avoids destroying heat-sensitive nutrients and enzymes by heat. The product is a porous crystalline powder that preserves the cellular structure of fresh lemon tissue. When rehydrated it presents the precise flavour profile of freshly squeezed citrus.

The entire fruit technique – pulp and peel – captures the whole range of the lemon’s nutrient contents. Zest is heavily concentrated with essential oils like D-limonene and citral that produce true aromas that can’t be created with synthetic flavourings.

FAQ

Q: What is the solubility of the product in water?

A: The powder is 90% water dispersible in 2-3 minutes with careful stirring at 25℃. It is not totally clear due to the natural fruit fibre content but it produces a stable, homogeneous suspension that is appropriate for beverage applications. Pair with filtration for crystal clear solutions or use in applications where minor opacity is acceptable.

Q: Can the product be customised to meet unique requirements?

A: Definitely. We can also custom specify particle size (40-100 mesh), moisture (2-5%), and even concentration ratios. Minimum order for customisation is 100kg, 15-20 days lead time following sample clearance. We can provide deseeded versions if seed particles are not desired in the finished product.

Q: How safe is the product for long-term use?

A: The powder is GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) for food use and has no known toxicity at normal levels of intake. It contains 60-70% carbohydrate, mainly natural fruit sugars and soluble pectin fibre. Pectin's bile acid binding mechanism may help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels with regular ingestion. Always use recommended rates of application suitable to your product category.
