How is Snow Pear Powder made?
| Step No. | Production Stage | Key Action | Control Point & Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw Material Reception | Receiving and inspecting fresh snow pears. | Control Point: Check for maturity, freshness, size, and absence of pests, rot, or mechanical damage. Only accept pears meeting predefined quality standards. |
| 2 | Cleaning & Sorting | Washing and sorting the qualified pears. | Control Point: Use high-pressure water spray to thoroughly remove dust, pesticide residues, and other impurities. Sort out and discard any damaged or unsuitable fruit. |
| 3 | Peeling & Coring | Removing the skin and central core of the pears. | Control Point: Ensure complete removal of the core and seeds as they can affect the final texture and taste. Minimize flesh loss during peeling. |
| 4 | Pulping & Homogenization | Crushing the pear flesh into a uniform slurry or pulp. | Control Point: Achieve a consistent, fine pulp. An antioxidant (e.g., ascorbic acid) may be added to prevent enzymatic browning and color change. |
| 5 | Spray Drying | Atomizing the pear pulp into a hot air chamber to rapidly remove moisture. | Control Point: Strictly manage inlet/outlet air temperature and feed rate. This is critical for achieving the target moisture content (<5%), particle size, and preserving flavor without scorching the powder. |
| 6 | Cooling & Sieving | Cooling the dried powder and sifting it through a mesh screen. | Control Point: Powder must be cooled to room temperature to prevent caking. Sieve to ensure a uniform, fine particle size and remove any oversized agglomerates. |
| 7 | Quality Inspection | Sampling and testing the final powder against specifications. | Control Point: Test for moisture content, microbial count, heavy metals, color, aroma, and taste. Product must pass all food-grade safety and quality parameters before release. |
| 8 | Packaging | Filling the qualified snow pear powder into sealed, food-grade packaging. | Control Point: Packaging must be performed in a controlled, low-humidity environment. Use airtight and moisture-proof materials to ensure product stability and shelf life. Verify final package weight. |

Applications & Usage
Common Applications:
Mechanism of action:
| Parameter | Snow Pear Powder |
|---|---|
| Functional Category | Natural Sweetener & Flavoring Agent; Bulking Agent; Humectant |
| Key Ingredients | Fructose, Sorbitol, Glucose; Malic Acid; Pectin; Dietary Fiber; Polyphenols |
| Mechanism of Action | Natural sugars (fructose, sorbitol) bind to sweet taste receptors on the tongue. Volatile aromatic compounds provide characteristic pear flavor notes. Hygroscopic nature of sugars and dietary fiber binds free water, reducing water activity (aw). Insoluble fiber and pectin components increase viscosity and add solids content without excessive sweetness. |
| Application Effect in Product | Provides a clean, natural sweet taste and subtle pear aroma. Improves mouthfeel and texture by increasing bulk and viscosity. Enhances moisture retention, improving product tenderness and extending shelf life by lowering water activity. Can be used for partial sugar replacement or as a flavor base in beverages, baked goods, and health supplements. |
