* Custom mesh size, moisture & Brix available
Two Core Formats - Choose What Fits Your Formula
A common pain point for buyers: not all strawberry powders are created equal. The drying method fundamentally determines nutrient retention, color intensity, solubility, and cost. Here's how to choose:
* Freeze-Dried Strawberry Powder
Produced via lyophilization (sublimation drying at -40°C to -80°C), this format preserves the maximum level of heat-sensitive nutrients - including Vitamin C, anthocyanins, and volatile aroma compounds. The result is a vibrant, intensely flavored powder that reconstitutes beautifully.
Best for:
Premium Supplements, Functional Foods, Clean-Label Snacks, Nutraceuticals
* Spray-Dried Strawberry Powder
Produced by atomizing strawberry juice or puree into a hot-air chamber, spray drying is a cost-efficient, high-volume process. It yields a fine, free-flowing powder with excellent solubility - ideal for applications where cost-per-unit matters and high-heat processing is involved downstream.
Best for:
Beverage Mixes Baked Goods Confectionery Flavoring Systems
* Organic Strawberry Powder
Sourced from certified organic strawberry farms with full chain-of-custody documentation. Available in both freeze-dried and spray-dried formats. Meets NOP (USDA Organic) and JAS (Japan Organic) standards - ideal for brands targeting the premium organic market segment.

Sourcing & Origin
From Field to Powder - Full Traceability
Our dried strawberry powder is sourced from carefully selected growing regions in China - primarily Shandong, Yunnan, and Liaoning provinces - known for their optimal climate, rich soil composition, and established strawberry cultivation heritage.
We work directly with contracted farms under a strict Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) framework. Every harvest batch is traceable back to the specific farm, field, and growing season. This isn't just a compliance checkbox - it's how we ensure consistency across every order you place.
Strawberries are harvested at peak Brix (natural sugar content), typically between 8–12°Brix, to ensure the powder delivers the flavor intensity and nutritional density your customers expect. Post-harvest, fruits are processed within 24 hours to minimize oxidation and preserve bioactive compounds.

Manufacturing Process
How We Make It: From Fresh Fruit to Finished Powder
Transparency in manufacturing is not optional - it's the foundation of a trusted supply relationship. Here's exactly how our dried strawberry powder is produced:
01 Raw Material Inspection & Incoming QC
Every incoming batch of fresh strawberries undergoes rigorous inspection: visual grading, Brix measurement (target 8–12°Brix), pesticide residue screening, and microbiological pre-check. Substandard lots are rejected at the gate - no exceptions.
02 Washing & Sanitization
Fruits pass through a multi-stage washing system using food-grade ozone water and clean water rinse cycles. This step eliminates surface contaminants, residual soil, and reduces microbial load without chemical residues.
03 Sorting, Hulling & Slicing
Automated optical sorting removes discolored or damaged fruit. Hulling and slicing are performed to maximize surface area for drying efficiency and ensure uniform particle size in the final powder.
04 Drying - Freeze-Drying or Spray-Drying
Freeze-drying: Sliced strawberries are pre-frozen to -40°C, then placed in vacuum chambers where ice sublimates directly to vapor. This process takes 18–24 hours but preserves >90% of heat-sensitive nutrients including Vitamin C and anthocyanins. Research confirms freeze-drying retains significantly higher potassium and bioactive compounds compared to hot-air drying methods.
Spray-drying: Strawberry puree is homogenized, atomized through a nozzle into a hot-air chamber (inlet temp 160–180°C, outlet 70–85°C), producing a fine, free-flowing powder in seconds. Maltodextrin or other carriers may be added at this stage per customer specification.
05 Milling & Sieving
Dried product is milled to target mesh size (standard: 80 mesh, 100 mesh, 120 mesh, or custom). Sieving ensures particle size uniformity - critical for dosing accuracy in capsule filling and beverage mixing applications.
06 In-Process Quality Testing
At this stage, samples are pulled for moisture analysis, color measurement (CIE L*a*b*), microbiological testing, and nutritional profiling. Only batches meeting all specifications proceed to packaging.
07 Nitrogen-Flush Packaging & Cold Storage
Finished powder is packaged under nitrogen atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Sealed in food-grade aluminum foil bags or kraft paper bags with inner PE liner. Stored at ≤25°C, ≤60% RH. Shelf life: 24 months from production date.

Frequently Asked Questions from B2B Buyers
Q:What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for dried strawberry powder?
A: Our standard MOQ is 25kg for commercial orders. For sample evaluation, we supply 100g–500g quantities at cost. For customers requiring custom specifications (standardized anthocyanin content, specific mesh size, organic certification), MOQ may be 50–100kg depending on the specification. Contact us to discuss your specific volume requirements - we work with startups and large manufacturers alike.
Q:What's the difference between freeze-dried and spray-dried strawberry powder - which should I choose?
A: The core difference is nutrient retention vs. cost efficiency. Freeze-dried powder retains significantly more heat-sensitive nutrients (Vitamin C, anthocyanins, aroma compounds) because the process never exceeds room temperature. Research confirms freeze-dried samples retain higher potassium and bioactive compounds compared to heat-based drying methods. However, it costs 3–5x more than spray-dried. Spray-dried is ideal for cost-sensitive applications like flavored beverages, baked goods, and confectionery where some nutrient loss is acceptable. For premium supplements and clean-label functional foods, freeze-dried is the professional choice.
