Tomato Powder - Juice, Fruit, Tomatoes and Vegetables
These are products made from natural ingredients. It is desirable to retain as many of the natural properties and qualities in the final powder as possible. This can be done for some products, but for others a recipe must be made containing additional carriers, antioxidants, pH-stabilizers and so forth.

TOMATO POWDER:
This is a special fruit which is spray dried in large amounts from a concentrated paste. The tomato powder is made from Hot Break paste or Cold Break paste. The paste used is strained free of skin, seeds and long fibers, and is concentrated to a maximum of 45 °Brix for Hot Break and 50 °Brix for Cold Break. Niro has developed a special tomato spray dryer, which is the most used tomato dryer worldwide for making tomato powder. We have also developed the technology for the drying of tomato paste on the FILTERMAT®. The tomato powder can be made without the used of any additives on the Niro dryers.

JUICE:
Juice is a quality name and can only be used to describe a reconstituted-powder if the powder contains a maximum of 3% additives, such as sucrose on solid base. Real juice powder is made when a high concentration of natural fibers remain in the juice. This has only been possible for a few juices. The dryer for these powders is the FILTERMAT®.

Several juices has been dried to a powder as a flavor product where the concentrated juices or single strength juices are mixed into a flavor base made from e.g. maltodextrin, sugar and gum arabic. The reconstituted powders with this recipe are not real 'juices'. These powders can often be dried on conventional spray dryers, multistage dryers, or the FILTERMAT®.

FRUIT:
The pulp or paste from many fruits and berries are strained to be freed from skin, seeds and long fibers to create a paste which can be spray dried in this pure state, or with only a limited addition of carrier.

Many of these powders will give reconstituted products very close to the original paste in respect to retaining the natural properties like colour, flavour, taste and texture. The FILTERMAT® will be the most attractive dryer for production of high-quality powders from these fruit and berry pastes.
