Definition: Pear powder is a fine powder obtained after fresh pears undergo processes such as cleaning, peeling, pitting, pulping, drying (such as spray drying, freeze-drying, etc.), and crushing.
Raw material characteristics: Select pears with high ripeness, white flesh, abundant juice and sweet taste. They are rich in water and natural sugar, making them excellent raw materials for making pear powder.
Manufacturing Process
Pre-treatment: Fresh pears are washed, and the peels and cores are removed (to avoid a bitter taste). The flesh is cut into small pieces and processed into a fine pulp by a pulping machine.
Drying treatment
Spray drying: After concentrating the pear pulp, it is rapidly dehydrated in a high-temperature gas flow through spray drying equipment to form powder, retaining most of the nutrients and flavor, which is suitable for large-scale production.
Freeze-drying: First, the fruit pulp is frozen, and then the water sublimates in a vacuum environment to retain the nutrients and natural color to the greatest extent, but the cost is relatively high.
Crushing and screening: After drying, the material is crushed and sieved to obtain fine and uniform pear powder.
Appearance and Flavor
Appearance: Usually a fine powder ranging from white to light yellow, with a light texture and no obvious impurities.
Aroma and taste: It has the unique sweet fruity aroma of snow pears, with a slightly sweet taste and no astringency, retaining the natural flavor of snow pears.
Main Nutrients
Sugars: Containing glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc., provide energy and give sweetness.
Vitamins: Rich in B vitamins (such as B1, B2), vitamin C, etc. Vitamin C has antioxidant effects and helps enhance immunity.
Minerals: They include potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. Potassium helps regulate the body's water balance and heart function.
Dietary fiber: Retaining some dietary fiber helps promote intestinal peristalsis.
Organic acids: Containing a small amount of malic acid, citric acid, etc., they regulate flavor and promote digestion.
Characteristics and Advantages
Easy to store and transport: The powder form reduces the moisture content, extends the shelf life, and is convenient to carry and transport.
Wide application: It has good solubility and can be directly dissolved in water for drinking or added to food without complex processing.
Retaining nutrients: Through reasonable processing, the natural nutrients and flavor of pears can be well preserved, making them a natural nutritional supplement.
