Frequently Asked Questions
Is the apple powder sulphite-free?
Yes, our standard apple powder is free of sulphites and any chemical preservatives. This is important for buyers targeting sulphite-sensitive populations or clean-label positioning. Please confirm this requirement at order stage.
Can apple powder be used in infant food formulations?
Yes, apple powder meets food-grade safety standards under FSSAI regulations. Buyers should verify compliance with their country's specific infant food regulations (e.g. EU Commission Delegated Regulation 2016/127 for infant formula) before use.
Does apple powder oxidise and turn brown during storage?
Browning is minimised by maintaining moisture below 4% and storing away from oxygen and light. Packaging in nitrogen-flushed multi-layer bags significantly extends colour stability. We can supply nitrogen-flushed packs on request.
Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis with each shipment?
Yes. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is provided with every shipment, covering the standard quality parameters listed under product specifications.
