Our Australian Freeze-Dried Apricot Powder is a premium, high-fiber ingredient designed for manufacturers looking to capture the delicate honey-like sweetness and sun-kissed orange hue of ripe apricots. By utilizing advanced lyophilisation, we remove moisture at sub-zero temperatures, which prevents the caramelisation and browning associated with traditional heat-drying. This results in a vibrant, highly soluble powder that retains the fruit's natural Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene) and potassium. Ideal for infant nutrition, wellness powders, and gourmet bakery applications, our apricot powder provides a clean-label solution for consistent tropical-stone fruit flavour without the need for artificial aromatics or sulphur dioxide.

• Ultra-fine particle size for smooth integration into dry mixes and dairy bases

The B2B Advantage: Clean-Label Colour and Enzyme Integrity

In the industrial food sector, achieving a natural orange pigment often requires synthetic additives. Freeze-dried apricot powder provides a 100% natural, plant-based colorant that remains stable in various pH environments. For manufacturers of "Clean Label" products, our powder offers a significant advantage over standard air-dried versions, which often require sulphur dioxide (preservative 220) to maintain their colour. By choosing Aussie Rich, you can eliminate chemical preservatives from your ingredient deck while delivering the authentic, bright aesthetic that consumers associate with health and freshness.

For R&D teams, the lack of carrier agents ensures that the powder maintains its natural acidity and brix level, allowing for more precise flavour balancing in complex formulations like meal replacements or plant-based desserts.

Preserving Heat-Sensitive Vitamins and Aromatic Volatiles

Apricots are highly valued for their Vitamin A content, which is sensitive to light and heat. Our specialized freeze-drying process protects these bioactive compounds by avoiding the thermal stress used in traditional spray-drying. This technique also traps the fruit’s delicate aromatic volatiles, ensuring a "fresh fruit" scent upon rehydration or consumption. This makes our powder the preferred choice for premium tea blends and nutritional supplements where the sensory experience and vitamin potency are primary selling points.

Wholesale Logistics: Reducing Operational Complexity and Waste

Fresh apricots have one of the shortest seasonal windows and highest bruising rates of any stone fruit. Aussie Rich’s apricot powder offers a shelf-stable, zero-prep alternative that is available year-round. It is lightweight and requires no refrigeration, significantly reducing shipping costs and warehouse energy consumption compared to frozen purees. With a 24-month shelf life, bulk buyers can maintain consistent production schedules without the risk of seasonal supply gaps or the high waste associated with fresh fruit spoilage.
