How about changing the artificial aromas, colors, and flavors of guava for 100% natural fruit powder? This has been the choice of many industries that are reviewing the composition of their products to offer consumers healthier options.

Fewer and fewer products with artificial ingredients and excess sugar have been chosen by consumers willing to change their eating habits and their families’. Therefore, in an attempt to avoid a reduction in sales and adapt to new consumption profiles, 100% natural inputs have been gaining more and more space in production processes.

Dehydrated guava powder preserves the essential characteristics of the fruit, such as color, flavor, and nutritional properties. Thus, it can easily replace artificial ingredients in the production of cosmetics and food such as juice powders, concentrated drinks, ice cream, jellies, among others.

Guava powder maintains the fruit’s benefits

Consumers’ search for natural products lies in the fact that they carry the real benefits of fruits and vegetables, quite different from artificial ingredients that only imitate the color, taste, and smell of food.

Considered a superfood, guava gathers a considerable amount of nutrients and minerals. There are many varieties of the fruit, but here in Brazil, white and red are found.

Generally speaking, guava has more vitamin C than oranges and more potassium than bananas. Vitamin C acts directly to strengthen the immune system, aids in the absorption of iron, balances blood sugar levels, and helps maintain healthier blood vessels.

Potassium helps to reduce the action of sodium in the body, a substance that, in high amounts, can cause fluid retention and raise cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Potassium also works to strengthen bones, relieve cramps, and regulate heart rate. Together with vitamins B3 and B6, it influences the proper functioning of the brain.

The fruit also has a high amount of antioxidants, such as lycopene, which helps fight free radicals and premature aging. It has a high amount of fiber that improves the intestinal tract and vitamin A to ensure eye health.

For the guava to dehydrate and turn into a healthy and 100% natural powder, Frootiva® Co uses Spray Drying, an atomization process that removes water from food and preserves all its properties.

In addition to guava, the fruit powder line has other flavors: acai, avocado, acerola, apple, banana, blackberry, caja, cashew, cupuacu, grape, soursop, guava, lemon, lychee, mango, orange, melon, passion fruit, peach, jabuticaba, pear, pineapple, raspberry, strawberry, tamarind, mandarin, and watermelon. There are also vegetable powders: beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, eggplant, spinach, tomato, and watercress.

Frootiva® Co also develops different flavors of fruit bits and dry extracts from plants. To learn more about the products and work done by the company, contact us by phone 55 11 4765-0732 or fill out the contact form.
