This pure, spray-dried Pomegranate Juice contains amino acids, pectin, fruit acids and vitamin C. The tannin Punicalagin is a major antioxidant while anthocyanins, ellagic acid derivatives and hydrolysable tannins provide both colour and supportive antioxidant activity.
Origin
Botanical (Fresh fruit)
Process
Produced by taking freshly squeezed Pomegranate and spray drying them. Spray drying concentrates the antioxidants naturally present in the fruit juice. The process also stabilises the phytochemicals by drying off the water. Most Pomegranate fruit contain around 85% water when fresh so 15g of this Pomegranate juice powder would provide the same antioxidant hit as you would get from a 100g of fresh Pomegranate juice.
Appearance
Deep pink particulates. Free flowing when dehydrated
Odour
Mild, characteristic of Pomegranate but not strong enough to be used as a major odour active.
Solubility
Highly water soluble with little to no need for filtration making this ideal for adding directly into your formula.
pH of reconstituted powder
Around 3
Heat stability
Will tolerate heating for a short time but best to add into your formula once the temperature is below 50C as some of the will start to break down with excessive heat.
Use instructions
To create a re-constituted Pomegranate juice mix 1.5 parts Pomegranate powder to 4.5 parts water (15% powder to 85% water). Add to your formula in the cool-down phase if possible and for best stability, maintain a product pH of below 5 and preferably around 4-4.5. Final product pH is a more important factor in polyphenol stability than heat treatment during manufacturing.
Typical use level
Between 1-15% on an ‘as supplied’ basis but can be used in higher quantities if required.
