What it is
Citrus powder is made from dried citrus fruit, such as oranges, lemons, or grapefruits. The fruit is typically dehydrated and then ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates the natural flavors and aromas of the citrus.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use citrus powder to add a bright, tangy flavor to a variety of foods. It can enhance the taste of savory items like sausages and cheeses, or add a citrus note to baked goods like cookies. It is also used in seasonings and snack foods.
Health notes
Citrus powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It is a natural source of vitamin C and other antioxidants found in citrus fruits. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated citrus-derived ingredients. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Citrus powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
