It is a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effect of berries as raw materials processed. The product contains a large number of functional ingredients such as anthocyanins and polyphenolic compounds.
Guanjie's fruit and vegetable powder processing products mainly include tomato powder, jujube powder, pumpkin powder, lotus root powder, bitter melon powder, strawberry powder, lily powder, papaya powder, garlic powder and so on. Drying methods used by processing enterprises are mainly spray drying, freeze drying, hot air drying and so on. Among them, the majority of spray drying powder.
Spray drying powder, the material temperature is high. Product nutrients, color and flavor are easily destroyed. Seriously even produce a burnt flavor. At the same time, due to the drying process to add a large number of drying agents, the resulting spray dried fruit powder and spray dried vegetable powder purity is low, so that its market application range is limited.
Although freeze-drying can better maintain the nutrients in the raw materials of fruits and vegetables. However, the high cost limits its industrialization and promotion. Guanjie has been focusing on freeze dried fruit and vegetable powders for more than 20 years. The traditional hot air drying and crushing of fruit and vegetable powders have larger particles and poorer flavor. The loss of nutrients and functional ingredients is high. It affects the taste when used, and the product has poor processing and application performance.
In addition, there is an urgent need to solve the problems of high energy consumption, less variety, low standardization of product quality, and loss of functional factors, which are common in the fruit and vegetable powder industry. Therefore, the research of new energy-efficient and quality-enhancing powder technology and equipment, standardize the quality of fruit and vegetable powder evaluation standard system and comprehensively improve the fruit and vegetable powder processing industry technology and equipment level has been imminent.

Fruit and vegetable powder can enhance the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables, and improve the color and flavor of products. It can be used in almost every field of food processing. For example, in the production of muffins, replacing wheat flour with 24% apple peel flour had no significant effect on the sensory quality of muffins. At the same time, the addition of apple peel powder muffins, total dietary fiber and total phenol content, antioxidant capacity and so on have a significant increase. The 5% mango peel powder was added into the macaroni. This not only had no effect on the cooking, texture and sensory properties, but also enhanced the product quality of the macaroni. Soft cookies with 10% mango peel powder were added. The contents of total dietary fiber, polyphenols and carotenoids were 2, 5 and 8 times higher than those of non-added soft cookies, respectively. Meanwhile, its ability to scavenge DPPH free radicals was also significantly increased.
In addition, mango kernel powder can also be added to cookies, and the amount of addition can reach 40% without affecting the flavor. Adding blueberries, cranberries and raspberries to breakfast cereals at a ratio of 1% not only improves the color of breakfast cereals, but also makes them more nutritious due to the increase in polyphenol and anthocyanin content.
