Organic Monk Fruit Powder is derived from the dried extract of monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii), a small, sweet melon native to Southeast Asia. It is known for being a natural, low-calorie sweetener with high antioxidant content.Â
Organic Monk Fruit Powder is primarily used as a natural sweetener in food and beverage products, offering a zero-calorie alternative to sugar. It is also popular in the formulation of low-sugar, keto, and diabetic-friendly products.Â
The powder has an intense sweetness, around 150-200 times sweeter than sugar, with a clean, fruity taste and no bitter aftertaste, making it ideal for sweetening foods and drinks.Â
The fruit is harvested, dried, and then extracted to isolate its natural sweet compounds, particularly mogrosides, responsible for the sweetness. The resulting extract is then processed into a fine powder.Â
It is certified organic and non-GMO, free from synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and genetically modified ingredients.Â
It is a fine, white off-white powder with a smooth texture and a pleasant fruity aroma.Â
Absolutely. It is used in various applications such as sugar-free desserts, beverages, baked goods, and dietary supplements, providing natural sweetness without adding calories or affecting blood sugar levels.Â
The vital active compounds are mogrosides, natural antioxidants, and the primary sweetening agents. These compounds offer sweetness without the glycemic impact of traditional sugars.Â
It undergoes rigorous testing for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and microbes to ensure it meets food safety and quality standards.Â
When stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight, Organic Monk Fruit Powder typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years.Â
It is naturally gluten- and plant-based, making it suitable for vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-conscious consumers.Â
Due to its zero-calorie profile and blood sugar-friendly properties, it is used in the formulation of sugar-free supplements, particularly for weight management and diabetic-friendly products.Â
For large-scale production, it should be stored in airtight, food-grade containers in a cool, dry warehouse to preserve its sweetness and prevent clumping.Â
