What it is
Orange juice powder is a dried form of orange juice. It is made by removing the water content from liquid orange juice through methods like spray drying or freeze drying. This process concentrates the flavor and nutrients of the original juice.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use orange juice powder to add a concentrated orange flavor and aroma to foods without adding significant moisture. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, marinades, dry beverage mixes, baked goods, and confectionery products.
Health notes
Orange juice powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains natural sugars and vitamin C, similar to liquid orange juice. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated orange juice and its derivatives, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its use as a food ingredient at normal levels.
Allergen info
Orange juice powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
