Home Functional Ingredients Lime Powder

Natural spray-dried lime powder.

This lime powder is spray-dried from 84% Citrus latifolia juice concentrate with acacia gum as the carrier. Acacia gum is a natural carrier with fiber benefits, not a starch or synthetic encapsulant. The result is a clean-label citrus powder with a bright, natural flavor profile and reliable reconstitution performance.

The 84% juice concentration is what beverage formulators care about most. At 1% use rate (1 g powder per 100 g finished product), you reach target citrus flavor intensity. That's an efficient addition rate that keeps cost-per-serving competitive while delivering authentic lime character.

An independent sensory evaluation found higher acidity intensity and preferred natural citrus character vs. a leading industry benchmark supplier. The same study confirmed equivalent flowability for industrial handling.

Fresh Citrus latifolia lime fruits

Citrus latifolia (Persian lime), the world's most commercially grown lime variety. Seedless, with a clean, bright acidity profile.
