Fruit and vegetable powder is made from a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. It contain a large number of vitamins, minerals, plant compounds and dietary fiber, with the advantages of pure quality, high efficiency, high absorption, as well as promote metabolism, beauty, etc. But the market of fruit powders and vegetable powders are varied, a wide range of categories, so how should we select quality fruit and vegetable powder?
● Raw material selection
Choose if manufactures use green and pollution-free healthy fruits and vegetables. Use green pollution-free fruits and vegetables powder is assurance of product safety and quality . Fruits and vegetables pesticide residues, nitrate content, as well as industrial waste and pathogenic microorganisms and other harmful substances caused by the content of commercial vegetables will directly affect the quality and human health.
● Processing method
Fruit and vegetable powder in the production and processing of freeze-drying and drying are two processing methods. And whether the nutrients can be more retained and processing methods have a direct relationship.
Freeze-drying technology:
It also known as low-temperature vacuum drying technology, involves the use of specialized machines in a vacuum environment to quickly dehydrate ingredients at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius. This method reduces fruit oxidation, preserves up to 95% or more of the fruit's nutrition, and is based on the principle of physical sublimation. In this process, the water inside the food is first frozen into a solid state in a low-temperature environment, and then sublimated into a gaseous state in a vacuum environment.
Drying technology:
In contrast, traditional drying technology does not involve a vacuum or low temperatures. It typically takes place in a more ventilated area with higher temperatures, causing water in the food to evaporate. This type of drying method often results in a crinkled, deformed product with deepened color and significant nutrient loss due to high temperatures. The physical principle of volatilization is used in drying technology, with high temperature causing the food's moisture and liquid to vaporize into aaseous state. The production of dried fruit and vegetable bulk powder using this method involves temperatures higher than 100 degrees Celsius, which can greatly damage important vitamins and nutrients.
It is important to note that most fruit powder and vegetable powder sold in the market is produced using traditional drying technology, resulting in damage to many nutrients and biologically active substances due to high temperatures. Freeze-dried fruit and vegetable powder, on the other hand, is much higher in nutritional value, but production costs are relatively high as well.
● Nutritional composition
Different types of fruits and vegetables, the extracted nutrients are different, rich in vitamins and minerals, providing full nutritional support; a variety of plant compounds, can play a role in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant effects; select fruit and vegetable powder can look at the nutrient table.
High-quality and well-absorbed vegetable powder and fruit powder will choose green and pollution-free, phytonutrient and bioactive substances with high content of fruits and vegetables as raw materials, ingredients will choose fruits and vegetables with high nutritional value, such as: mulberry leaf, western blueberry, blueberry, sea buckthorn, apple, wolfberry, coniferous cherry, passion fruit, tomatoes, etc., while using scientifically identified with clear biological efficacy concentrated extracts, such as: olive fruit extract (hydroxytyrosol), The extracts include: olive extract (hydroxytyrosol), acacia extract (quercetin), turmeric (curcumin), etc.
● Wall-breaking technology
It is a method used in bulk fruit and bulk vegetable powder production that involves breaking down the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. This method is applied to wall-breaking powder, which differs from ordinary powder in that it utilizes advanced wall-breaking technology to release active ingredients. When the cell walls are broken, the active ingredients are released, resulting in a higher absorption and utilization rate of up to 90% in the human body. This utilization rate is 3-8 times higher than that of ordinary.
