Key Differences Between Orange Powder and Orange Juice Powder:
| Feature | Organic Orange Powder | Organic Orange Juice Powder |
|---|---|---|
| Processing Technology | Whole fruit drying, including juice and pulp | Juice extraction followed by spray drying |
| Nutrient Profile | Contains fiber from the peel, pulp, and juice, providing a full spectrum of vitamins (especially vitamin C), flavonoids, and minerals | Higher concentration of vitamin C and natural sugars, but lower in fiber |
| Flavor | Sweet, tangy, and slightly bitter with a more complex citrus flavor from the whole fruit | More intense, sweet-tangy flavor with a slightly higher sweetness due to juice concentration |
| Color | Bright orange with slight variations from whole fruit processing | Vibrant orange color from concentrated juice |
| Application Areas | Smoothies, baked goods, snack bars, sauces, dressings, seasoning blends, dietary supplements | Beverages, powdered drink mixes, health supplements, flavored functional foods |
| Shelf Life | Longer shelf life due to the fiber content and the whole fruit processing | Slightly shorter shelf life due to higher moisture content and juice concentration |
| Water Solubility | Less soluble in water due to the presence of fiber and pulp | Highly soluble in water, ideal for instant beverages or drinks |
