Bluegrass Ingredients Expands Citrus Powder Range

Bluegrass Ingredients has expanded its portfolio of citrus juice powders, targeting growing demand for versatile flavour solutions across bakery, snacks, dressings and dessert applications.

The range includes lemon, lime, orange and pineapple variants, designed to deliver authentic fruit taste while offering greater stability and ease of use compared to liquid juice. The powders aim to replicate fresh citrus flavour profiles, helping manufacturers achieve more premium positioning in finished products.

According to the company, the ingredients provide consistent flavour delivery and improved mouthfeel, supporting product differentiation in increasingly competitive categories. The powders are positioned as a flexible solution for formulators, enabling the use of a single ingredient platform across multiple applications, including baked goods and snack seasonings.

From an operational perspective, the dry format offers extended shelf life and simplified logistics, reducing waste linked to perishability and lowering storage and transport costs. The powders are also designed to perform reliably during processing, maintaining flavour integrity through mixing and heat treatment.

The portfolio is available in both conventional and organic formats and meets a range of dietary and certification requirements, including vegan, gluten-free and kosher, allowing manufacturers to address diverse market segments with a single ingredient system.

Bluegrass Ingredients also provides application support, including pH adjustment and flavour optimisation, enabling manufacturers to fine-tune acidity and intensity levels. The company said its spray-drying and blending technologies help preserve citrus aroma and taste, while its development platform supports faster product innovation aligned with evolving consumer preferences.
