What is the Source of Spray-Dried Seabuckthorn Powder?
The raw material of spray-dried seabuckthorn powder is seabuckthorn fruit. Seabuckthorn is a deciduous shrub with characteristics such as drought resistance, wind and sand resistance, and salt and alkali resistance. It is widely planted in northwest China. Its fruit is rich in a variety of nutrients. This provides a rich nutritional basis for seabuckthorn powder.
What Is Spray-Dried Seabuckthorn Powder Produced?
The quality of spray-dried seabuckthorn powder depends largely on the advancement of drying technology and the scientific nature of the processing. To maximize the retention of heat-sensitive nutrients (such as vitamin C, flavonoids, etc.) in seabuckthorn fruit, Guanjie Biotech adopts modern centrifugal spray drying technology. This method is one of the most widely used and mature technologies in the processing of functional plant extract powders, with the advantages of short drying time, controllable temperature, and uniform product particle size.
Pretreatment stage-Raw material pretreatment stage
•Cleaning:
Three-stage countercurrent cleaning equipment is used to thoroughly clean the seabuckthorn fruit to remove mud, impurities and potential pesticide residues on the surface of the peel. The seabuckthorn raw materials used must comply with the provisions on pesticide residue limits in the "GB 2763 National Food Safety Standard".
•Juicing and filtration:
We use a screw press to perform physical squeezing under low temperature conditions (≤40℃). This can effectively avoid the damage of heat-sensitive active substances by high temperature. The resulting juice is then filtered through a 150-mesh fine screen to effectively remove impurities such as pomace and seed shells to ensure the purity of the spray-dried seabuckthorn powder.
•Concentration:
The filtered juice is sent to the vacuum concentration tank for concentration, and the vacuum degree is controlled at -0.08 MPa, and the temperature is maintained at 50~55℃. This increases the solid concentration in the juice to 30%-35%. This step helps to reduce energy consumption in the subsequent drying process and improve the spray-dried seabuckthorn powder yield of the product.
Important Production Process
•Atomization:
The concentrated juice is transported to the high-speed rotating centrifugal atomizer by a high-pressure pump, with a speed of up to 18,000 rpm. Under high-speed rotation, the juice is quickly broken into fine droplets with a particle size of 5~20 microns, which greatly increases its contact area with hot air, which is conducive to subsequent rapid drying.
•Drying:
The droplets are in countercurrent contact with hot air with an inlet temperature of 180-200℃ and an outlet temperature of 80-85℃ in the drying tower, and the water evaporates instantly (the drying time is only 5-10 seconds), avoiding nutrient loss of spray-dried seabuckthorn powder due to long-term high temperature.
•Separation and cooling:
The spray-dried seabuckthorn powder is separated by a cyclone separator and then cooled to room temperature by a cooler to prevent residual heat from causing oxidation of the ingredients.
•Addition of auxiliary materials
In order to improve the fluidity and moisture resistance of the product during storage and use, Guanjie Biotech will add no more than 5% maltodextrin as a carrier in some batches of Spray-dried seabuckthorn powder products. The maltodextrin used is derived from non-GMO corn, and its DE value is controlled between 10 and 15, which complies with the "GB 15203 Food Additives Hygiene Standard". This auxiliary material not only helps to improve the fluidity and moisture resistance of spray-dried seabuckthorn powder, but also does not significantly affect the original flavor, nutritional structure, and color performance of sea buckthorn.
Product Properties
Physical Properties
• Appearance:
Spray-dried seabuckthorn powder is an orange-yellow to orange-red loose powder (color difference value E ≤ 3, which meets the standard for natural pigments). Our sea buckthorn juice powder has a ≥98% pass rate through an 80-mesh sieve. The particles are fine and free of lumps.
• Flowability:
The angle of repose is ≤35°. And the bulk density of spray-dried seabuckthorn powder ranges from 0.3 to 0.4 g/cm³, making it convenient for measurement and addition to automated production lines.
• Solubility:
Spray-dried seabuckthorn powder dissolves completely in water at 25°C after stirring for 30 seconds. The solution has a clarity of ≥95% with no visible precipitation.
Sensory Indicators
• Smell:
It has the characteristic fresh fruity aroma of sea buckthorn, with no burnt, rancid, or other off odors. (Volatile components are analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to ensure flavor purity.)
• Taste:
The spray-dried seabuckthorn powder has a slightly sour and sweet flavor. Its acidity (calculated as citric acid) ranges from 3.0% to 4.5%, which aligns with general consumer preferences. The texture is smooth and fine, with no gritty mouthfeel.
Physicochemical Indicators
• The moisture content of spray-dried seabuckthorn powder is ≤5% (measured by Karl Fischer titration), ensuring resistance to mold during shelf life.
• Total colony count is ≤1000 cfu/g, mold and yeast ≤50 cfu/g, and no pathogenic bacteria are detected (in compliance with GB 16740-2014, Health Food standard).
Product Advantages
•Nutrients are preserved intact:
Advanced spray-drying technology retains the nutrients and natural flavor of sea buckthorn fruit to the greatest extent, ensuring high nutritional value and a pure taste.
•Stable quality:
We have a mature production process and a strict quality control system. From raw material procurement to spray-dried seabuckthorn powder delivery, multiple quality inspection steps are carried out to ensure that each batch of products is stable and reliable.
•Easy to store and transport:
Sea buckthorn powder has low moisture content and can be sealed and stored at room temperature. Spray-dried seabuckthorn powder requires relatively simple storage and transportation conditions and generally has a shelf life of 24 months.
•Easy to use:
Spray-dried seabuckthorn powder can be directly used in the production of various foods and beverages. It can also be easily processed into tablets, granules, and other dosage forms.
High Quality Control:
Certification
Package:
•Packaging:
Packed in aluminum foil vacuum bags (1kg/bag) or fiber drums (25kg/drum, lined with PE bags). Avoid exposure to light and moisture.
•Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place (temperature ≤25°C, relative humidity ≤60%). After opening, seal tightly and refrigerate (0–4°C). Spray-dried seabuckthorn powder is recommended to be used within 30 days after opening.
•Shelf life:
24 months unopened. If the shelf life is exceeded, the spray-dried seabuckthorn powder must be retested and confirmed to meet quality standards before use.
