Frequently Asked Questions
Does guava powder retain its natural pectin, and can it be used as a gelling agent?
Dehydrated guava powder retains a proportion of the natural pectin present in fresh guava. However, the pectin content and gelling performance in guava powder is significantly lower than isolated commercial pectin (such as citrus or apple pectin). It is suitable as a natural flavour and partial texture contributor in jam and preserve formulations, but should not be relied upon as the primary gelling agent. For applications requiring defined gel strength, supplement with commercial pectin to achieve your target texture.
Can guava powder be used in beverage applications for natural tropical flavouring?
Yes. Guava powder dissolves readily in water at typical beverage formulation temperatures. It provides a natural tropical guava flavour and aroma at use levels of 1–5% in powdered drink mixes and 0.5–2% in ready-to-mix beverage concentrates. The slight natural turbidity from fibre content can be reduced by adjusting formulation. Sample quantities are available for flavour development and consumer testing.
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.
How should the powder be stored after delivery?
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep packaging sealed when not in use and follow FIFO stock rotation.
