Product Features & Advantages

Superior Flavor & Color Retention

Low-temperature freeze-drying uniquely preserves the volatile aromatic compounds and bright carotenoid pigments (beta-carotene) responsible for mango's signature taste and golden color. This results in a more authentic "fresh" flavor compared to spray-dried powders, which often suffer from caramelized or "cooked" notes.

Rich in Pro-Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene)

Mango is one of the richest fruit sources of beta-carotene. Our process maximizes retention of this heat-sensitive nutrient, providing a natural, clean-label source of Vitamin A for eye health, skin health, and immune support claims in your products.

Natural Sweetness & Flavor Complexity

Offers inherent sweetness from natural fruit sugars, allowing for reduced added sugar in formulations. It also contributes a complex tropical flavor profile that is difficult to replicate with artificial flavors.

Excellent Functional Properties

The fine powder ensures rapid dissolution and easy incorporation into both dry mixes and liquid systems. Its natural pectin and fiber content can also contribute to mouthfeel and texture in certain applications.

Supply Chain & Economic Efficiency

Converts perishable, seasonal fresh mango into a stable, lightweight powder with a 24-month shelf life. This drastically reduces logistics costs, minimizes waste, and guarantees consistent supply and pricing year-round.

How to Use: Integration Steps

1. Define Application Purpose: Determine if used primarily for flavor (0.5-3%), natural color (1-4%), sweetness (1-5%), or nutritional fortification (2-10%).
2. Dosage Calculation: Start with a conservative percentage. Its natural sweetness may allow for a reduction in other sweeteners like sugar or syrup.
3. Pre-Dispersion (For Liquids): For smooth incorporation into beverages, pre-mix with a small amount of water or glycerol to form a slurry before adding to the main batch to prevent floating or clumping.
4. Incorporate: Add during the mixing stage. For products where color is critical, note that the bright yellow is stable across a wide pH range.
5. Compatibility Testing: Test compatibility in your base formula, especially with proteins, as fruit acids can sometimes affect stability.
6. Storage of Raw Material: Store in a cool (<25°C), dry (RH <50%), dark place in tightly sealed containers to preserve color and flavor.

Application Scenarios

Food & Beverage Manufacturing

• Beverages: Mango juices, nectars, smoothies, ready-to-drink teas, tropical flavored waters, and alcoholic mixers.
• Dairy & Plant-Based Alternatives: Mango yogurt, lassi, ice cream, flavored milk, and plant-based dairy desserts.
• Bakery, Snacks & Confectionery: Fruit fillings for pastries, cereal coatings, nutrition/granola bars, fruit leathers, and confectionery glazes. Can be blended with Food Grade Trehalose for flavor protection.
• Sauces, Dressings & Glazes: Chutneys, sweet and sour sauces, marinades, and glazes for meat and desserts.

Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements

• Vitamin A & Antioxidant Blends: A key natural source of beta-carotene in eye health, skin health, and general antioxidant supplements, often blended with other Antioxidants Raw Materials.
• Meal Replacements & Nutritional Powders: Adds natural sweetness, flavor, and nutrients to protein powders, green superfood blends, and meal replacement shakes.
• Children's Nutrition: The appealing sweet flavor and natural color make it ideal for fortifying children's vitamins, gummies, and nutritional drinks.

Other Industrial Uses

• Cosmetic Raw Materials: Used in skincare products for its antioxidant properties (mangiferin) and as a natural fragrance component. Its beta-carotene can impart a slight warm tone.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: As a natural flavor base for creating complex tropical flavor profiles.

FAQ

Q1: What is the key advantage of freeze-dried mango powder over other forms?

A: Freeze-drying best preserves the fresh mango's volatile flavor compounds and heat-sensitive nutrients like beta-carotene (Vitamin A) and Vitamin C. It offers a superior taste and nutritional profile compared to spray-dried or drum-dried powders, which use high heat.

Q2: How does the beta-carotene content compare to other fruits?

A: Mango is exceptionally rich in beta-carotene. Our freeze-dried powder provides a concentrated, natural source that is significantly higher than most other fruit powders, making it valuable for products making Vitamin A or antioxidant claims.

Q3: Can this powder be used to reduce added sugar in my product?

A: Yes. Its natural fruit sugars (fructose, glucose) provide inherent sweetness. By incorporating mango powder, you can often reduce the amount of added refined sugar or syrup, supporting "Reduced Sugar" or "No Added Sugar" claims when combined with other strategies.

Q4: What is the MOQ, pricing, and lead time?

A: Standard MOQ is 100kg for production orders. Competitive pricing is volume-based. Lead time is typically 15-20 working days after order confirmation. Sample quantities are available for R&D purposes.

Q5: Is the color stable in different pH conditions?

A: Yes. The yellow color from beta-carotene is very stable across a broad pH range (pH 3-9) and is not sensitive to pH shifts like anthocyanin-based colors (e.g., from berries). It is also light and heat stable, making it reliable in various processing conditions.
