Lychee Powder

Lychee Powder – Natural Fruit Extract Ingredient for Food & Beverage Formulations

Lychee Powder is a plant based substance extracted from mature lychee pulp by concentration, drying and grinding procedures. It keeps the characteristic sweet floral aroma and natural fruit qualities of the fresh lychee. The product is derived from China and is manufactured with a normal plant extraction procedure and has a pale pink to off-white appearance, is water soluble and includes polyphenolic chemicals at 100% purity criteria. ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher and Halal Certified. Confirmed by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis). It is ideal for B2B buyers in the food, beverage and nutraceuticals industries with a MOQ of as little as 1 kg and OEM/ODM support.

What Is Lychee Powder and How Is It Produced?

The product is derived from Litchi chinensis pulp by complex plant extraction method including concentration, spray drying and grinding. This gives the volatile aromatic compounds and the natural carbohydrates shelf stability and water solubility.

The outcome is a fine, pale pink to off-white powder that disperses well in cold water, a significant advantage for industrial beverage making. The powder form greatly improves shelf life compared to fresh lychee, which degrades rapidly within 48 hours, without affecting flavour and functional characteristics.

Active ingredients: polyphenolic compounds. UV-Vis (UV-Visible Spectrophotometry) validated for accuracy and uniformity batch to batch.

Product Specifications

Key Product Characteristics

The powder has a moisture content below 5% and a tiny particle size which guarantees a smooth dissolving without sedimentation in liquid compositions. It's natural off-white to pale pink colour, straight from the fruit – no chemical colourings involved.

Easily soluble in water, it can be cleanly incorporated into both cold-fill and hot-process production lines. This makes it particularly practical for ready-to-drink beverage engineering and instant powder formats.

As it is hygroscopic, suitable storage conditions are needed. Store in a cold (<25°C) place away from direct light. Reseal immediately after use. Protect from moisture absorption and caking.

Functional Benefits for Formulation

It delivers polyphenols of fruit origin, natural vitamins and botanical compounds directly from the lychee flesh. These chemicals help to enhance antioxidant positioning of nutraceutical goods and functional food labels.

The characteristic floral-fruity scent of this lends real sensory value to recipes. Lychee has a better differentiated positioning than regular berry powders, particularly in Asian origin and luxury tropical brands.

It works well in high fat situations like chocolate fillings and cream based frostings. It provides rich fruit flavour without extra moisture that could interfere with emulsions or promote microbial growth.

Application Scenarios

Lychee Powder is used in a wide range of product categories. It is ideal for RTD tea blends, fruit juice powders, milk tea, functional drinks and instant powders in the beverage industry where rapid dissolution and consistent scent are crucial.

It is effective in dairy and dessert applications such as yoghurt, ice cream and soft candy compositions. Its clear taste and water solubility permit easy inclusion without disturbing the texture.

In nutraceutical applications it is a good partner for collagen based products or antioxidant blends in capsule, sachet or tablet form. Bakery and confectionery manufacturers particularly appreciate it for the natural fruit character it brings to fillings, frostings and speciality baked items.

Quality Control and Certifications

Routine quality control testing is performed on each batch for microbiological safety, chemical purity and physical stability. Testing techniques include screening for heavy metals, yeast and mould counts, and pesticide residues to meet FDA and EU regulatory criteria.

UV-Vis Spectrophotometry is used to determine the concentration of the active chemical and sensory evaluation ensures the characteristic lychee aroma and flavour in each batch. ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher & Halal certified – so you can easily enter worldwide markets with zero regulatory friction.

Third-party testing reports are accessible on request for full transparency for procurement and compliance teams.
