Citrus latifolia, spray-dried. 84% juice concentration. Natural acacia gum carrier. Bright, clean citrus flavor at 1% use rate.
Request a SampleThis 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.
Citrus latifolia (Persian lime), the world's most commercially grown lime variety. Seedless, with a clean, bright acidity profile.
