Product Info
What is Strawberry Fruit Powder?
Strawberry Fruit Powder is a fine powder made from dried and ground strawberries, primarily used to impart natural flavor, color, and aroma to smoothies, baked goods, and drink mixes.
How is Strawberry Fruit Powder made?
| Step No. | Production Stage | Key Action | Control Point & Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw Material Reception | Receive and inspect fresh, ripe strawberries. | Quality check is critical. Inspect for correct ripeness, color, firmness, and absence of mold, pests, or damage. Verify supplier documentation. |
| 2 | Washing & Sorting | Wash the strawberries in sanitized water and remove stems (calyx). Manually or optically sort to discard any unsuitable fruit. | Water sanitation levels must be monitored. Only sound, high-quality fruit should proceed to ensure the final product's flavor and safety. |
| 3 | Pulping / Juicing | Crush and blend the clean strawberries into a uniform puree or juice. | The consistency of the puree is important for the next stage. Equipment must be food-grade stainless steel and thoroughly sanitized to prevent contamination. |
| 4 | Pre-treatment & Formulation | Mix the strawberry puree with a carrier agent (e.g., maltodextrin) and an anti-caking agent. | The ratio of fruit solids to carrier is a key control point. This step is essential for spray drying to prevent stickiness and ensure a free-flowing powder. |
| 5 | Dehydration (Drying) | Dry the formulated slurry into a powder, most commonly via spray drying or freeze-drying. | This is the most critical stage. For spray drying, control the inlet/outlet air temperature and feed rate. For freeze-drying, control vacuum pressure and temperature to preserve color, nutrients, and flavor. |
| 6 | Milling & Sieving | Mill the dried product to achieve a fine, uniform powder. Sieve the powder through a specific mesh size. | Control the final particle size distribution for desired texture and solubility. Use powerful magnets and metal detectors to remove any potential physical contaminants. |
| 7 | Final Quality Control | Test a representative sample of the finished powder lot. | Key parameters are moisture content (typically <5%) for shelf stability, microbial count, color analysis (colorimetry), and sensory evaluation for flavor and aroma. |
| 8 | Packaging & Storage | Package the powder into airtight, moisture-proof, and light-blocking containers. | Ensure package seals are intact to prevent moisture ingress. Store in a cool, dry environment to prevent caking and preserve quality over its shelf life. |

Mechanism of action:
| Parameter | Strawberry Fruit Powder |
|---|---|
| Functional Category | Flavoring Agent; Colorant; Nutritional Enhancer; Bulking Agent |
| Key Ingredients | Dehydrated and Milled Strawberry Fruit Solids; Citric Acid; Malic Acid; Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C); Anthocyanins; Dietary Fiber (Pectin) |
| Mechanism of Action | Delivers a complex profile of volatile organic compounds (esters, aldehydes) for characteristic flavor and aroma. Anthocyanin pigments provide natural red coloration, the intensity of which is pH-dependent. Provides dietary fiber, which contributes to viscosity and texture. Natural organic acids (citric, malic) lower product pH, enhancing tartness and providing a mild preservative effect. |
| Application Effect in Product | Imparts authentic strawberry taste and aroma to beverages, bakery goods, and dairy products. Provides a natural red/pink color without synthetic dyes. Enhances nutritional value with vitamins and fiber. Increases total solids content and can improve mouthfeel in yogurts, smoothies, and sauces. |
