Project Description
Product Description
Plum Powder is a premium, all-natural fruit powder derived from carefully selected plums (Prunus domestica). It is produced through a controlled drying and milling process that preserves the fruit‘s natural nutritional profile, including dietary fiber, naturally occurring sorbitol, and characteristic fruit sugars. This versatile ingredient serves dual purposes: as a natural functional food ingredient for digestive health and as a natural flavor enhancer with a rich, fruity sweetness.

Application
Plum Powder is a versatile ingredient suitable for a wide range of food, beverage, and supplement applications, valued for its natural sweetness, authentic fruit flavor, and functional benefits for digestive health. Its clean-label profile and natural composition make it an ideal choice for formulators seeking to develop products with natural, recognizable ingredients.
In functional foods and beverages, Plum Powder is used to support digestive wellness concepts, leveraging its naturally occurring sorbitol and dietary fiber content. It is commonly incorporated into health bars, smoothies, juices, yogurts, and baked goods at typical usage levels of 2% to 10% of the formulation, depending on the desired flavor intensity and functional benefit. Its pleasant sweetness also allows for a reduction in added sugars, supporting clean-label and sugar-reduction claims.
In the dietary supplement sector, Plum Powder is formulated into capsules, tablets, and powder sachets as a natural source of fiber and sorbitol for digestive health support. Recommended daily intake typically ranges from 1 to 3 grams per serving, depending on the target health benefit and regulatory considerations. Its natural composition and mild flavor make it suitable for daily wellness routines.
In confectionery and bakery applications, Plum Powder serves as a natural flavor and sweetness enhancer in products such as cookies, cakes, fruit fillings, jams, and pastries. Its characteristic sweet, fruity plum flavor adds depth and authenticity to formulations, often complementing spices like cinnamon or other fruit powders. Suggested usage levels range from 3% to 10% of the formulation, depending on the desired flavor intensity and product type.
In snack products, Plum Powder can be used to add fruity flavor and nutritional value to fruit bars, snack mixes, and seasoned snacks. Its natural sweetness and fiber content contribute to a satisfying taste and texture, aligning with health-conscious consumer preferences. It is also suitable for use as a coating or seasoning ingredient in savory snack applications.
In all applications, Plum Powder is water-soluble, making it easy to incorporate into both dry and liquid formulations. Its natural acidity (pH 3.5–4.5) makes it compatible with most fruit-based and mildly acidic systems. For optimal dispersion in beverages, we recommend pre-dissolving the powder in a small amount of water before adding to the bulk formulation. The powder is stable under standard pasteurisation and baking conditions. All applications should be validated according to the food and supplement regulations of the target market, with recommended usage levels confirmed through small-scale trials for each specific product. Technical support and sample data are available upon request to assist with formulation development and regulatory compliance.
