What it is

The whole fruit, in a powder that dissolves

The purée is sprayed into a stream of hot air and dries in just a few seconds. Maltodextrin is added as an encapsulating agent, preserving colour, flavour and aroma during the process.

The result is a fine, even, low-moisture powder designed for powdered formulations and drinks. It is the most cost-efficient format for adding fruit flavour and colour.

Frequently asked questions

Before you order

How is it different from freeze-dried fruit?+

Both are fruit powders. Spray-dried fruit dries in seconds with hot air, dissolves easily and costs less. Freeze-dried fruit is dried cold and better preserves aroma and nutrients; it is the premium format.

Who handles the import?+

We do. We have more than 30 years in international trade: we take care of transport from origin, customs, documentation and health checks on entry into the European Union. For a full container, the product goes straight from origin to your plant; by pallet, it ships from Spain.

How long does the first delivery take?+

24–48 hours if there is stock in Spain, 2–10 days if there is stock in the EU, and around 8 weeks if shipped from origin. After that, deliveries are scheduled around your production calendar.

How much fruit does it contain?+

The standard is 90% fruit and 10% maltodextrin, and it can be adjusted to the needs of your formulation.

Is it suitable for coeliacs?+

Yes. It can be used in gluten-free products.

What is the minimum order?+

From 5 kg per product.

Can I try it before buying?+

Yes. We will send you a sample and its technical data sheet within 10–15 working days, depending on available stock, so you can validate it in your formulation.
