Product Introduction

 

We have fixed supplier to provide us with fresh and ripe pumpkins. We will first select high-quality pumpkins as raw materials for the products, and rinse and sterilize them to ensure the cleanliness of the raw materials. The washed pumpkins will be peeled and cut into pieces for easier subsequent operations. Then we will move the pumpkin pieces one by one into the freezing chamber and control the temperature at minus 40 degrees Celsius to freeze the pumpkins, but this process will not destroy the overall structure of the pumpkin, so that the nutrients in the pumpkin are fully preserved. After the pumpkin pieces are frozen, we will move them to a vacuum environment for drying, during which the water in the pumpkin will be directly sublimated into gas. After the dried pumpkin pieces are in a stable state, we will grind them into powdered finished products and package them for sale.

 

The finished pumpkin powder is orange-yellow, accompanied by the unique sweet and attractive aroma of pumpkin. It has high solubility and water retention, and the lowest fluidity and bulk density. The nutritional quality of pumpkin powder obtained by freeze drying is higher than that of hot air drying and spray drying. This is mainly because the freeze drying process is not carried out under high temperature, so the nutrients in the pumpkin are basically not destroyed, and the physical and chemical properties of freeze dry pumpkin powder are good, and the activity of antioxidants is better preserved. This pumpkin powder is rich in crude protein, crude fat, soluble total sugar, dietary fiber, and also rich in amino acids and a variety of vitamins and minerals, which are functional ingredients that are very beneficial to the human body. Compared with the pumpkin itself, the pumpkin powder made by freeze drying has a longer shelf life. If properly stored, this powdered product can be stored for more than 1 year, which greatly reduces its storage difficulty. In addition, pumpkin powder is more convenient to transport and carry, and its usage scenarios are wider. Whether it is used directly in cooking and baking, or used as a food additive to make other foods, it is the best choice. We have advanced freeze drying equipment and high-quality production lines, which provide a solid foundation for our production. Our entire production process is carried out under strict quality inspection, and the entire process is carried out in a clean and pollution-free environment. During the entire production process of Freeze Dried Pumpkin Powder, we do not add any preservatives and additives, aiming to provide customers with green and pollution-free high-quality products.

Health Benefits Of Freeze Dried Pumpkin Powder

 

Antioxidant

Freeze Dried Pumpkin Powder is rich in beta-carotene, it's a carotenoid that gives it a beautiful orange color. Moreover, beta-carotene is also a powerful antioxidant that can help fight various diseases and even cancer.

Specifically, the human body produces a small amount of oxygen-containing free radicals during normal physiological metabolism. If these free radicals are not removed in time and accumulate excessively, they will quickly react with some biological macromolecules in the body, such as proteins, nucleic acids, amino acids, lipids, etc., to generate oxides or peroxides. These substances will be toxic to cells, causing damage to cell membranes, tissues, enzymes and genes, thereby causing the occurrence of various diseases and aging. The antioxidant effect of beta-carotene is based on the special structure of multiple conjugated polyene double bonds in its molecules. This structure enables it to react irreversibly with oxygen-containing free radicals to generate very stable carbon-centered free radicals, which effectively reduces the concentration of peroxide free radicals in the body and can promptly stop the chain reaction of free radicals, thereby reducing the amount of lipid peroxidation in the body. In summary, beta-carotene can effectively resist the oxidative stress response of free radicals, reduce the spread of cancer cells, and effectively resist cancer erosion.

 

Protect Vision

Freeze Dried Pumpkin Powder is rich in vitamin A, which is essential for eye health.

One of the most important roles of vitamin A is to protect and maintain vision. It helps convert light that hits the eye into electrical signals that can be sent to the brain. Your body also uses vitamin A to make pigments, keep the retina working properly, and moisturize the cornea. An early symptom of vitamin A deficiency is night blindness, which can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. In addition, foods rich in vitamin A can reduce the risk of cataracts or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and regular vitamin A supplements can even restore some vision loss.

Potassium can eliminate excess sodium in the body, thereby controlling blood pressure at a normal level and protecting the smoothness of blood circulation, so that to promote better cardiovascular health.

In addition, pumpkin powder is also rich in dietary fiber, which reduces the absorption of cholesterol by the blood, thereby avoiding the increase of cholesterol levels in the blood and protecting the fluidity of blood vessels.
