Product Specifications

Key Product Advantages

One of the most important things for companies that make food and drinks is that their goods dissolve completely in cold water. It doesn't leave any haze, sediment, or residue behind when this powder dissolves very quickly. This makes it great for clear liquids like RTD drinks and pouches of instant drinks.

Synthetic citric acid alone does not have the natural bio-flavonoids, volatile oils, and complicated organoleptic properties of real lemon juice. This powder does. It tastes like real lemon and has a clean label. Food-grade maltodextrin is used to help the essential oils spread while the food is being sprayed. In this way, the volatile oils don't break down in the heat, and the powder has great flow qualities.

One big advantage over liquid lemon concentrates is that it can be kept for longer. It is best to keep liquid concentrates cool, and they should last between 6 and 12 months. At room temperature, this powder stays stable for 24 months. This means that there are no cold-chain logistics costs and there is less risk in the supply chain for large-scale operations.

Application Areas

The main industrial use is in functional beverages and instant drink mixes. The powder works well in RTD coffee, sports drinks with electrolytes, and single-serve packets. It keeps the acidity level steady without the phase separation or fermentation risks that come with liquid concentrates.

Standardised amounts of vitamin C and citric acid are good for dietary supplement powders. The particles are between 40 and 80 mesh, which makes it easy to mix with other powders. The moisture content is kept below 5%, which protects against microbes and keeps the product stable on the shelf.

The powder is used to precisely control the pH in baking and candy making. It turns on the pectin in fruit jellies and combines properly with baking soda without adding too much water, which would change the texture of the dough or the viscosity of the sugar matrix.

This style is also good for Savoury Seasonings and Dry Rubs. Liquid lemon juice would make snack sauces and dry marinades clump or get soggy, but the powder sticks evenly and adds a sharp citrus top note that stays stable even when heated during processing.

Quality Assurance and Safety

Each batch of dried lemon juice powder is checked using HPLC and UV analytical methods, which gives accurate information on the amount of active ingredients, such as Vitamin C and titratable acidity. The company has an in-house Quality Control Centre that checks for microbial limits and possible contaminants. The centre has GC-MS equipment for thorough safety checks.

A GMP-based method that is in line with ISO 9001 quality management standards is used to run production. The product has been certified as both KOSHER and HALAL, which lets it be sold in regulated global markets. A full traceability system covers the whole process, from receiving the raw materials to sending out the finished goods. This gives you full visibility into the whole supply chain.

Storage and Handling Guidelines

Because it has natural plant sugars and organic acids, this powder absorbs a lot of water. Taking in water from the air leads to caking, which lowers the quality of the product.

Keep it in a cool, dry place that is below 25°C and has a relative humidity of less than 60%. When not in use, always keep containers closed. When a bag or drum is opened, it needs to be resealed right away or used up in one production batch. Stay away from strong smells and bright sunlight.

Adding about 1 part powder to 6–8 parts water makes the consistency about the same as fresh lemon juice in terms of acidity. You should change the exact amounts based on the formulation you want to make and the level of acidity you need.

Packing and Delivery

Standard packaging uses sealed outer drums with vacuum composite film bags inside to hold 25 kg per drum. This packaging is made to keep out moisture, oxidation, and physical damage while it's being shipped.

Courier, Air Freight, and Ocean Freight are all shipping choices that can handle different order sizes and delivery times. Ready stock is kept so that orders can be sent out within two to three business days of being confirmed. For OEM and ODM orders, custom labelling and packaging formats, including choices in more than one language, can be made upon request.

Our Factory

A modern production base run by Shaanxi New Things Biotech can be found in Xi'an. It has molecular distillation technology, supercritical fluid extraction systems, and fully automatic production lines. A digital manufacturing management system keeps track of every step of production in real time at the factory.

The facility is set up so that it can handle any size of order, from small trial batches of a few kilograms to big commercial volumes. The integrated plant-to-product supply chain includes growing, identifying, extracting, purifying, and packaging. This means that from the raw material to the finished ingredient, you only have to deal with one responsible supplier.

FAQ

Q1: Does this powder contain only lemon juice, or are other ingredients added?

A: Food grade maltodextrin is included as an encapsulation carrier. It protects the volatile oils during spray drying and ensures free-flowing powder properties and complete water solubility.

Q2: Will it dissolve completely without leaving sediment?

A: Yes. It is manufactured to achieve ≥99% cold-water solubility. No sediment or haze is left behind, making it suitable for clear beverage applications.

Q3: Can this powder replace fresh lemon juice directly?

A: It is a concentrate, not a 1:1 replacement by weight. Combining 1 part powder with approximately 6–8 parts water reconstitutes to a strength comparable to fresh lemon juice.

Q4: What is the shelf life compared to liquid lemon concentrate?

A: Liquid concentrates require refrigeration and last 6–12 months. This product provides 24 months of shelf stability at ambient temperature, significantly reducing cold-chain dependency.

Q5: What certifications does this product carry?

A: The product holds ISO 9001, KOSHER, and HALAL certifications, supporting compliance requirements for food, supplement, and beverage manufacturers across international markets.

Q6: Is customized packaging or private label production available?

A: Yes. OEM and ODM services are available, including customized formulation, labeling, multilingual packaging, and flexible batch sizes from trial quantities to full commercial volumes.
