Production Process & Quality Control
Our Spray Dried Pumpkin Powder is manufactured through a controlled process:
- Sourcing & Selection: Fresh, ripe pumpkins are sourced from qualified suppliers and rigorously inspected.
- Washing & Preparation: Pumpkins are thoroughly washed, peeled, and deseeded.
- Pulping & Homogenization: The pumpkin flesh is pureed into a consistent slurry.
- Spray Drying: The slurry is fed into a spray dryer where it is atomized into a hot air chamber, instantly evaporating the water and leaving behind fine, dry powder particles. This rapid process minimizes nutrient degradation.
- Sifting & Blending: The powder is sifted to the specified mesh size (100-120) and blended to ensure uniformity.
- Packaging: The finished powder is promptly packaged in moisture-resistant bags under strict hygienic conditions.
Throughout this process, rigorous Quality Control checks are conducted, including microbiological testing, moisture analysis, and color consistency verification.
