Freeze-Dried Mango Powder

FruitBuys supplies freeze-dried mango powder milled from one ingredient: ripe Mekong Delta mango. There is no maltodextrin, no carrier and no added sugar, so your label reads “mango” and every gram you dose is fruit. It is bright golden-yellow, tastes of ripe mango and gives drinks and fillings a real pulpy body. Every lot is released at 3–5% moisture and water activity ≤0.30, and samples leave in 3–5 working days.

What that means for your business:

• A one-word label: “mango”, with no carrier to declare and no flavour dilution, so a lower dose delivers the colour and taste you need
• Natural colour from fruit: a golden-yellow shade that lets beverage, dairy and confectionery lines carry mango colour from the fruit itself
• Four times the payload of pieces: about 11,000 kg floor-loaded in a 20 ft container, so freight per kilogram falls to roughly a quarter
• Flows out of the bag: released at aw ≤0.30 and packed in 5 kg inner bags in a room below 35% RH, so it doses cleanly on the line
• Small first orders: bulk from one 20 kg carton, private label from 500 kg per SKU

Product specification

60–80 mesh is the working sweet spot: fine enough to disperse in a shaker or blender, coarse enough to stay free-flowing. Finer powders under 150 µm look smoother but cake faster once opened, so FruitBuys sets a finer grade only when your application needs it. Store sealed, dry and out of direct light; no refrigeration needed.

Nutrition per 100 g (Eurofins baseline): energy 401 kcal, carbohydrate 94 g, total sugars 59 g (0 g added), fibre 5.6 g, protein 3.1 g, fat 1.3 g, potassium 634 mg, sodium 0 mg.
Typical values for 100% freeze-dried mango; natural variation by origin, season and ripeness applies. Lot nutrition panel available for label artwork. Label guidance is in the nutrition facts guide.

Applications and dose

It disperses rather than dissolving clear like sugar, because the mango’s own fibre stays in. That fibre is the body and mouthfeel that flavourings cannot copy. At under 5% moisture it colours white chocolate without thickening the mass. Add it to dry mixes last. FruitBuys sets the dose with your R&D team on a sample; recipe starting points are in freeze-dried mango powder recipes. Need visible fruit pieces instead? See the formats guide and freeze-dried mango slices, cubes and bites.

Packaging

Powder without a carrier pulls moisture from humid air within about half an hour. The 5 kg inner bag is sized to one mixing batch: open one, use it through the shift, and the rest stays sealed. For lines that run in humid rooms, FruitBuys can add a free-flow agent at 1–2% on request, declared on the specification. Barrier choices are in the packaging and shelf-life guide.

Commercial terms

Powder packs four times denser than pieces. At an example rate of USD 2,500 per 20 ft, floor-loaded freight works out at about USD 0.23/kg for powder against about USD 0.91/kg for pieces, roughly USD 0.68/kg back on your landed cost.

Quality and documents

• Every full container: third-party lot COA from an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory for moisture, water activity, TPC, yeasts and moulds, E. coli and Salmonella
• Baseline surveillance: lead, arsenic and aflatoxins through periodic testing, reports available on request
• Trial and LCL orders: QC release log plus the latest baseline reports; third-party testing at lab cost, refunded in full on your first container

• Export dossier with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, B/L, C/O Form EUR.1, phytosanitary certificate, COA

Fruit is washed and sanitised before cutting, milled in a closed room and packed below 35% RH, so the powder goes straight into ready-to-eat mixes. Claims on packaging, caking and water activity are open for 14 days after unloading, and 30 days for lab results.

Import and labeling

• HS code: 1106.30, flour and powder of Chapter 8 fruit; confirm the line for your destination in the EU TARIC tariff database
• EU duty: preferential rate with C/O Form EUR.1 under the EU–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement
• Ingredient declaration: “mango” or “freeze-dried mango”
• Labels: lot nutrition panel available for US, EU and GCC artwork

Market-by-market documents are in the import guide.

Verify the sample

1. Tip the pouch: powder should pour freely, with no hard lumps
2. Check colour against the retained-sample reference
3. Stir 5 g into 100 ml cold water or milk and time the dispersion
4. Send the second sealed pouch to your lab for moisture and aw
5. Approve; the pre-shipment sample is checked against it

FAQ

Is it really 100% mango?

Yes. Freeze-drying needs no carrier, so the powder is mango only. A free-flow agent is added only if you ask, and it is declared on the specification.

Does it dissolve?

It disperses in 30–60 seconds rather than dissolving clear, because it keeps the fruit’s fibre. That fibre gives smoothies and fillings their pulpy body.

Why does it clump after opening?

Without a carrier it pulls moisture from humid air. Open bags in a dry room, use each 5 kg bag within the shift, and keep no half-open bags in damp storage.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes. Samples ship by courier in 3–5 working days; tell us your application so we match the mesh.
