What is Organic Apple Powder?
Organic Apple Powder is a natural, nutrient-rich powder derived from 100% organic apples (Malus domestica). It is available in two specifications—Organic Apple Powder and Organic Apple Juice Powder—making it a versatile ingredient suitable for a wide range of applications, including food and beverages, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. Known for its mild sweetness, rich flavor, and high nutrient content, Organic Apple Powder is an ideal choice for health-conscious consumers and food manufacturers.
Production Process:

- Drying: The apple slices are carefully dried using methods such as freeze-drying or air-drying to preserve their natural nutrients and flavor.
- Grinding & Sieving: The dried apples are ground into a fine powder and sieved for uniformity in particle size.
- Juicing (for Apple Juice Powder): For the juice powder variant, the apples are juiced, concentrated, and spray-dried to capture the essence of fresh apple juice.
- Packaging: The final product is packaged in food-grade, moisture-resistant containers to preserve freshness and prevent contamination.
