Request a SampleThis pineapple powder is spray-dried from 60% Ananas comosus pulp with prebiotic fiber as the carrier. The prebiotic fiber carrier adds a gut health dimension not found in starch or maltodextrin-based powders, relevant for functional food and beverage formulators who want a secondary positioning angle.
An independent sensory evaluation (DID-R71, 2025) found significantly higher intensity in sweetness and acidity vs. a leading industry benchmark supplier. Tropical and fruity aroma notes were also rated more intense, with no bitterness detected. The preferred natural, authentic flavor profile means formulators can typically achieve target intensity at lower use rates.
The 2% reconstitution rate is the practical number for beverage development: 2 g powder per 100 g finished product achieves target tropical flavor intensity. That's a well-defined starting point for prototype formulation.
Ananas comosus, spray-dried at source. Prebiotic fiber carrier contributes a gut health co-benefit without altering the flavor profile.
Pineapple is one of the few common fruits that contains significant proteolytic enzyme activity. Bromelain is the primary enzyme responsible: a cysteine protease that supports protein digestion and has been studied for joint support, post-exercise recovery, and anti-inflammatory applications.
This powder contains naturally occurring bromelain. We do not provide a specific IU/g activity claim without a verified per-batch assay. Contact us to discuss activity testing options for your application.
For supplement formulators, pineapple powder is a meaningful bromelain-containing ingredient that supports both a flavor story and a functional enzyme story. It formulates well alongside digestive enzyme blends, post-workout recovery complexes, and joint support formulas.
