Product Overview
Qingdao Oriental Tongxiang Natural Pure Lemon Powder is made from fresh yellow lemons. Fresh pulp is extracted directly without adding water, then refined via advanced spray drying technology, effectively retaining the nutrients and natural flavour of yellow lemons. It is a light yellow, free-flowing powder with natural lemon flavour and acidity. As a clean-label fruit ingredient, it delivers both citrus taste and natural sourness, widely used in solid beverages, bakery, gummies, dairy, seasonings and dietary supplements. It can work well with natural sweeteners such as monk fruit extract and stevia to optimise flavour profiles in zero-sugar formulations.

Key Benefits of Lemon Powder
- Authentic citrus taste & balanced natural acidity
Delivers bright, genuine lemon flavour and clean tartness, to lift flavour profile of beverages, bakery, confectionery and seasonings. Helps reduce reliance on artificial flavourings and fine-tune sourness easily in formulation.
- Dry powder format simplifies production & formulation
No extra water introduced into your recipe. Avoids handling liquid lemon concentrate, leakage, microbial risks and frozen storage. Easy to weigh, dose and blend in dry-mix lines, effervescent tablets, meal replacements and solid drink powders.
- Long shelf life & stable quality, lower logistics cost
Dehydrated lemon powder requires no refrigeration. Longer shelf life vs fresh lemon or liquid juice. You only ship fruit solids instead of water, cutting freight and cold-chain expenses for bulk procurement.
- Clean-label & versatile ingredient for multiple product lines
Natural source, suitable for vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, clean label claims. Works across instant drinks, functional beverages, gummies, baked goods, dairy, salad dressings and nutritional supplements.
- Natural source of Vitamin C & citrus flavonoids
Adds functional nutrition value naturally. Enables brands to highlight antioxidant & wellness positioning for health drinks and dietary supplements without synthetic additives.
- Consistent batch-to-batch performance
Standardized acidity, colour and flavour from controlled manufacturing. Less seasonal fluctuation compared with fresh lemons, supporting stable mass production and predictable final product quality.

FAQ
Q: How much natural Vitamin C is in Oriental Tongxiang natural lemon powder?
A: Fresh lemon juice naturally contains Vitamin C. Our spray-dried lemon powder concentrates the fruit solids, so Vitamin C per unit weight is higher than fresh lemon juice. The exact Vitamin C value varies batch by batch, affected by raw material quality and production conditions. This test is not included on our standard COA. If you need specific Vitamin C data, we can run extra testing for your target batch.

A: No artificial flavourings, synthetic colours or preservatives are added. The taste and colour come purely from fresh lemon raw material.
Q: How is the solubility of lemon powder? Can it be used in bottled drinks?
A: It has good water solubility. It is suitable for solid drink mixes. For bottled liquid beverages, pre-dissolving test is recommended before mass production to check precipitation.
Q: Is your lemon powder heat-resistant? Can it be used in bakery products?
A: It can withstand general baking temperature. For high-temperature long-time baking applications, flavour retention tests are recommended in your formula.
