Spray Dried Carrot Powder

Spray Dried Carrot Powder

Spray-dried carrot powder is a highly concentrated form of carrot that retains the essential nutrients and flavor of fresh carrots. It is produced by first washing, peeling, and slicing fresh carrots, followed by pureeing them. The puree is then subjected to a spray-drying process, where hot air is used to rapidly dry the liquid, resulting in fine, powdery carrot concentrate. This powder is rich in key nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as important minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium. It is an excellent source of beta-carotene, which is known for its antioxidant properties and is converted into vitamin A in the body, promoting healthy vision and immune function. Spray-dried carrot powder is widely used in the food and beverage industry for adding flavor, color, and nutritional value to products like soups, sauces, smoothies, baked goods, and snacks. It offers a convenient and long shelf life alternative to fresh carrots.
