Fruit and vegetable powders
for the food industry
Natural. Functional. Versatile.
As an import and trading company serving the German and European food industry, our portfolio includes fruit and vegetable powders from around the world, ranging from classic standard fruits to exotic specialties. Production always uses freshly harvested fruits and vegetables, employing three proven technologies: spray drying based on juices or concentrates for standardized, highly soluble products, freeze drying for carrier-free, natural products with a robust flavor profile, and milling for coarse-textured powders with a high raw material content. In this way, our product range covers the entire spectrum of requirements that modern recipes place on plant-based powdered raw materials.

Spray-dried fruit powders
These fruit powders are gently produced from fruit juices or fruit purees using a modern spray-drying process. The result is a homogeneous, fine, and free-flowing powder with an intensely aromatic fruit profile, as well as excellent dispersibility and solubility.
These are standardized grades that contain only a small amount of carrier material (maltodextrin) and ensure consistently high product stability.
Freeze-dried fruit powders
For these types, moisture is removed through freeze-drying , and the dry mass is then gently ground. Here, too, only fresh fruit in the form of juices or concentrates is used.
These varieties typically have an amorphous, coarser structure than spray-dried types, contain no carrier substances (“Clean Label”), and are characterized by a particularly robust, natural fruit aroma.
Applications for fruit powder
Thanks to their long shelf life, easy storage, and simple dosing, our fruit powders offer a wide range of applications across many sectors of the food industry, such as instant beverages, dairy products, confectionery, baked goods, dietary supplements, flavor and blending systems, compounds, muesli and cereals, chocolates and fillings, and snacks.
Spray-dried vegetable powders
In addition to our fruit portfolio, we offer high-quality vegetable powders that are exclusively spray-dried. They are produced from fresh juices or purees using modern spray-drying technology. The powders are fine, homogeneous, and highly soluble, and are characterized by a variety-specific, authentic vegetable aroma. They are ideal for applications where functionality, natural color, and a clearly defined flavor are paramount.
Applications for vegetable powder
Our vegetable powders also offer a wide range of applications in the food industry thanks to their long shelf life, convenient storage, and easy dosing. Examples include instant beverages, dairy products, baked goods, snacks, dietary supplements, compounds, flavor and blending systems, muesli and cereals, and other innovative product concepts.
Packaging and Storage
Due to the wide variety of raw materials and production processes, different packaging solutions are used. Spray-dried fruit and vegetable powders, for example, are packaged in 15-kg cartons containing 3 x 5-kg vacuum bags. This solution ensures convenient handling, high product safety, and resource-efficient use. Freeze-dried fruit powders are delivered in vacuum-sealed aluminum bags, in 10-kg or 20-kg containers depending on the product. Additionally, other packaging options are available depending on the specific raw material. The raw materials generally have a shelf life of 18 months or longer.
