Fruits go through a dehydrating process in order to transform into the fruit powder. In this stage, water is removed from the fruit leaving only the solid matter. Dehydrating fruits have been done for thousands of years but of course modern methods are much more efficient and effective in removing moisture. There are two types of fruit powders and the difference is in how the moisture is extracted. The two types are freeze dried powders and drum dried powders.
Types of Fruit Powders
Freeze Dried Fruit Powders
Freeze dried fruit powders are made by extracting the moisture through lowering temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. The fruit is placed on a flat conveyor belt and is slowly subject to freezing temperatures. This turns the moisture into a gas state which separates from the fruit. The key advantage with freeze drying is that the fruit powder preserves most of its vitamins and minerals.
Drum Dried Fruit Powders
Drum drying is normally a faster method of drying fruits and a larger volume can be dehydrated at once. The fruit is dried on a rotating drum over a low temperature. The product is then ground to produce the fruit powder. Drum dried fruit powders are generally much cheaper than freeze dried fruit powders. While drum dried fruit powders do retain many of the vitamins and minerals of the fruit, the percentage retained is still less than that of freeze dried fruit powders.
