Home Functional Ingredients Lemon Powder

Mandarin Lemon in powder form.

This lemon powder is spray-dried from 87% Citrus limonia (Mandarin Lemon) juice concentrate. 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.

The 87% juice concentration delivers 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.
