Lime Juice Powder

Lime juice powder is made from dried lime juice. The juice is typically spray-dried or freeze-dried to remove water, resulting in a fine powder that retains the tart, citrus flavor of fresh limes.

Manufacturers use lime juice powder as a flavoring agent to add a bright, tangy lime taste to foods. It is often found in seasoning mixes, marinades, snacks like chips and pretzels, and baked goods where a concentrated lime flavor is desired without adding extra moisture.

Lime juice powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is a source of vitamin C, an essential nutrient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lime and its derivatives, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its use in food at normal levels.
