This is the most critical distinction in the industry. Spray drying requires liquid fruit juice to be sprayed into a high-heat chamber (often over 150°C) and mandates the addition of 20%-30% maltodextrin as a carrier. This destroys the flavor and dilutes the product. Freeze-drying is a slow, vacuum-sublimation process that requires no carriers, uses low temperatures to preserve vitamins, and yields 100% pure banana solids. The higher cost reflects the vastly superior purity, flavor intensity, and nutritional density.

Yes, 100% pure FD fruit powders are naturally highly hygroscopic because they contain native fruit sugars and lack anti-caking additives. To prevent clumping, we maintain an ultra-low moisture content (≤5%) and ship the powder in heavily sealed, moisture-barrier packaging. Once opened in your manufacturing facility, it should be processed in a humidity-controlled environment.

Because our powder is made from the whole banana flesh (which contains natural insoluble dietary fibers like pectin and cellulose), it disperses excellently and rapidly in water to form a smooth puree or cloudy suspension, but it will not dissolve 100% clear like a synthetic flavor extract.

Our standard MOQ for mass production is 20kg to 25kg, packed in specialized aluminum foil bags inside protective commercial drums. We also supply smaller quantities (1kg-5kg) for pilot manufacturing and R&D trials. Standard dispatch is within 7-10 days.
