Spray Dried Apple Powder

Spray Dried Apple Powder

Spray-dried apple powder is a fine, dry powder made from fresh apples through a process of spray drying, where liquid apple juice or puree is atomized into a fine mist and rapidly dried using hot air. This method preserves the flavor, aroma, and nutritional content of the apple while ensuring a long shelf life. The powder is rich in essential nutrients such as dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins (especially Vitamin C), and minerals like potassium. It is commonly used in food products like beverages, snacks, bakery items, and supplements due to its natural sweetness and health benefits. The powder is also a good source of polyphenols, which have antioxidant properties that help fight free radicals in the body. The high fiber content aids in digestion and promotes gut health. Spray-dried apple powder is convenient for use in various recipes, providing a burst of apple flavor and nutritional value without the need for fresh fruit.
