Freeze Dried Custard Apple Powder
Freeze-Dried Custard Apple Powder is produced from premium-quality custard apples carefully selected at peak ripeness. Using advanced freeze-drying technology, the natural sweetness, creamy texture, flavor, and nutritional properties of the fruit are preserved. The result is a fine, light powder with a long shelf life, free from preservatives, added sugar, or artificial colors. It serves as a versatile ingredient for smoothies, beverages, dairy products, bakery items, confectionery, desserts, nutraceuticals, and instant mixes. Its rich flavor and nutritional profile make it an ideal choice for both household use and industrial applications.

Manufacturing Process:
Raw Material Selection - Fresh, fully ripe, and high-quality custard apples are carefully chosen. Cleaning & Washing - Fruits are thoroughly washed to remove dirt, impurities, and surface contaminants.Peeling & Deseeding - The outer skin is removed, and seeds are separated to obtain only the edible pulp. Pulp Preparation - The custard apple pulp is homogenized into a smooth, uniform consistency. Pre-Freezing - The pulp is spread onto trays and frozen at very low temperatures to lock in nutrients, color, and flavor. Freeze-Drying (Lyophilization) - The frozen pulp is subjected to a vacuum freeze-drying process, where ice crystals are sublimated directly into vapor, leaving behind dry fruit solids.
Milling / Powdering - The dried fruit is gently milled into a fine powder while preserving its natural aroma and taste. Sieving & Quality Check: Powder is sieved to uniform particle size and tested for quality, microbiological safety, and nutritional retention. Packaging - The powder is packed in moisture-proof, airtight packaging (laminated pouches or bulk containers) to ensure long shelf life. Storage & Dispatch - Stored under cool, dry conditions before being dispatched for commercial or retail use.
