Citrus limonia (Mandarin Lemon). Lemon juice is the first ingredient. Higher carotenoid content than standard lemon powder. Warm amber-orange hue.
Request a SampleThis lemon powder is spray-dried from Citrus limonia (Mandarin Lemon) juice. Citrus limonia is a distinct variety from the more common Persian lime (Citrus latifolia), a hybrid citrus with a warmer, more amber-orange color profile and higher carotenoid content than standard lemon varieties.
The elevated carotenoid content is relevant to two different buyer types: beverage formulators who care about natural color contribution in finished products, and supplement formulators building antioxidant-positioned formulas where a broader bioactive profile adds label value.
Lemon juice is the largest ingredient by weight going into the dryer, which gives a strong flavor payload. For beverage applications, the warm amber-orange hue creates natural visual differentiation vs. the pale yellow of lime or standard lemon powders.
