Botanical Source: Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon)
Used Part: Fruit Flesh (Pulp)
Key Components: Naturally contains L-Citrulline, Lycopene, Vitamins (A, C, B6), Electrolytes (Potassium), and natural sugars.
Form: Spray-dried or freeze-dried powder.
Appearance: Fine, light pink to red powder.
Taste: Sweet, refreshing, characteristic watermelon flavor.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water and other liquids.
Our gentle dehydration process is designed to lock in flavor, color, and heat-sensitive nutrients:
Fruit Selection & Washing: Sourcing of ripe, high-brix watermelons. Fruits are thoroughly washed and sanitized.
Flesh Extraction & Seed Removal: The rind is removed, and the red flesh is separated from seeds and processed into a puree or juice.
Filtration & Homogenization: The pulp/juice is homogenized and may be finely filtered to achieve a smooth consistency and remove any remaining fibrous material, depending on the desired final powder texture.
Concentration & Pasteurization: The juice/puree is gently concentrated under vacuum and pasteurized to ensure microbial safety while minimizing thermal impact.
Carrier Addition (if applicable): A minimal amount of a natural, neutral carrier (such as maltodextrin or tapioca starch) may be added to aid the drying process and improve powder flowability, while still maintaining a clean-label status.
Spray Drying: The liquid feed is atomized into a hot air drying chamber in a controlled spray-drying process. The rapid evaporation produces fine, dry particles that retain much of the fruit's original flavor and color.
Cooling, Sieving & Packaging: The powder is cooled, sieved to ensure uniform particle size, and immediately packaged in moisture-proof, light-resistant containers to preserve quality.
Watermelon Powder is valued for its refreshing taste and its associated wellness benefits:
Natural Source of L-Citrulline: This amino acid may support vascular health, enhance nitric oxide production, and aid in exercise performance and recovery by reducing muscle soreness.
Hydration & Electrolyte Support: Provides potassium and other electrolytes, contributing to hydration, especially in functional sports or recovery beverages.
Antioxidant Protection: Contains lycopene (a carotenoid) and vitamin C, antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
Refreshing Flavor & Natural Sweetness – Imparts a universally pleasant, sweet flavor that can reduce the need for added sugars in formulations.
Supports Overall Wellness – The combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants contributes to general health and vitality.*
