Pumpkin Powder PKP-H22 — Spray-Dried, 93% Pumpkin Pulp for Food Manufacturing

Pumpkin Powder PKP-H22 — Spray-Dried, 93% Pumpkin Pulp, Natural Golden Color for Food Manufacturing

Pumpkin powder PKP-H22 is a spray-dried pumpkin powder made from fresh Hebei pumpkins with maltodextrin as a processing carrier. The pumpkin is pulped, sterilized, and spray-dried into a uniform golden-yellow fine powder with a natural pumpkin flavor and slightly sweet taste. Pumpkin pulp content measures 93% — meaning nearly the entire dry mass comes from pumpkin, with maltodextrin serving only as a spray-drying processing aid.

The spray-drying process preserves the natural golden-yellow color, flavor, and nutritional character of pumpkin significantly better than hot air drying — making PKP-H22 a natural choice for applications where both visual appeal and authentic pumpkin taste matter. The moisture content of 4.85% provides excellent flowability in dry blending equipment and long storage stability.

Microbial quality is exceptionally clean: aerobic plate count measured just 10 CFU/g (specification: ≤1,000), mold below 10 CFU/g, and both Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus not detected. Lead was not detected. The product is manufactured under Halal, ISO 9001, ISO 22000, and HACCP certification.

Pumpkin Powder PKP-H22 Specifications

Applications of Pumpkin Powder PKP-H22

Recommended dosage: 1-10% of total formulation depending on application. Pumpkin powder PKP-H22 disperses evenly in dry blends and hydrates into water and oil-based systems. The fine spray-dried particle size ensures smooth mouthfeel in finished products.

Bakery and Baked Goods

Incorporate pumpkin powder PKP-H22 into bread doughs, cake batters, muffin mixes, cookie formulations, and pastry fillings at 2-5% of flour weight. It contributes natural golden-yellow color, pumpkin flavor, and moisture retention in the finished baked product. In pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffin formulations, PKP-H22 at 3-5% provides the characteristic pumpkin character and golden crumb color. The powder disperses uniformly in dough without visible specks or streaking. In commercial pumpkin pie filling mixes and seasonal bakery product lines, PKP-H22 at 5-8% of the dry mix creates a complete pumpkin base.

Noodles and Pasta

Add pumpkin powder PKP-H22 to noodle doughs, pasta formulations, and instant noodle production at 1-3% of flour weight. It imparts a natural golden-yellow color to the noodle strand — a visual characteristic that signals quality and natural ingredients to consumers. In pumpkin noodle and vegetable pasta products, PKP-H22 at 2-3% provides both color and a subtle pumpkin note. The powder hydrates into the dough water phase and distributes evenly through the gluten network.

Solid Beverage and Nutritional Powder Mixes

Use pumpkin powder PKP-H22 in instant beverage powders, meal replacement shakes, nutritional supplement blends, and smoothie mixes at 2-8%. The fine spray-dried powder dissolves and disperses readily in water and milk. In pumpkin spice latte powder mixes and golden milk blends, PKP-H22 at 3-5% provides the pumpkin body. For meal replacement and nutritional formulations targeting the natural vegetable powder segment, PKP-H22 at 5-10% contributes both vegetable content claims and natural golden color.

Pet Food and Animal Nutrition

Pumpkin powder is widely used in pet food formulations — particularly for digestive health positioning in dog and cat foods. Incorporate PKP-H22 into dry kibble coatings, wet food formulations, pet treat doughs, and nutritional supplement powders at 1-5%. The natural pumpkin flavor is well-accepted by companion animals, and the powder form integrates cleanly into extrusion and coating processes.

Snack Food and Seasoning

Add pumpkin powder PKP-H22 to snack seasoning blends, puffed snack doughs, and extruded snack formulations at 2-5% for natural golden color and pumpkin flavor. In pumpkin-spiced snack seasonings, PKP-H22 at 3-5% combined with cinnamon CP-K38 and a touch of ginger DGP-W01 creates a complete seasonal snack profile. For vegetable-based extruded snacks and healthy-positioned snack products, PKP-H22 at 5-8% in the base dough provides vegetable content and natural coloring.

Infant and Toddler Food

Pumpkin powder PKP-H22 is suitable for infant cereal mixes, baby food puree powders, and toddler snack formulations where natural vegetable ingredients, clean microbial specifications, and consistent nutritional quality are essential. The APC of 10 CFU/g and the absence of detected pathogens support the safety requirements for these sensitive product categories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pumpkin pulp content of PKP-H22?

PKP-H22 contains 93% pumpkin pulp by dry weight. Maltodextrin serves as a spray-drying processing carrier for the remaining portion. This is not a flavored or colored blend — the pumpkin character, color, and taste come from the pumpkin itself.

Why is PKP-H22 spray-dried instead of hot air dried?

Spray drying preserves the natural golden-yellow color, flavor volatile compounds, and nutritional character of pumpkin better than hot air dehydration. The rapid drying at controlled temperature minimizes the browning reactions and flavor degradation that can occur during longer hot air drying cycles. The result is a powder with stronger visual appeal and more authentic pumpkin taste.

Can pumpkin powder PKP-H22 be used in pet food?

Yes. Pumpkin powder is widely used in pet food for its natural vegetable content and digestive health associations. PKP-H22 integrates into both dry kibble coating systems and wet food formulations. The clean microbial profile (APC 10 CFU/g) supports the safety requirements for pet food manufacturing.

What gives PKP-H22 its golden-yellow color?

The golden-yellow color comes from natural carotenoids present in pumpkin — primarily beta-carotene and lutein. No artificial colors or color enhancers are added. The spray-drying process preserves these natural pigments, resulting in consistent golden-yellow color batch to batch.

Does pumpkin powder PKP-H22 contain any additives or preservatives?

PKP-H22 contains pumpkin and maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate carrier that facilitates the spray-drying process. No preservatives, artificial colors, or flavor enhancers are used. The product is manufactured under ISO 22000 and HACCP food safety management.

Is pumpkin powder PKP-H22 suitable for Halal production?

Yes. The product is manufactured under Halal certification. It is a plant-based product with no animal-derived processing aids and no alcohol in the production process.

Can PKP-H22 be used in infant food products?

The exceptionally clean microbial profile — APC 10 CFU/g, mold below 10 CFU/g, and no detected pathogens — supports the safety baseline required for infant and toddler food manufacturing. Full batch-specific COA and microbiological test reports are available on request for your quality assurance process.

What are the MOQ, lead time, and sample policy for pumpkin powder PKP-H22?
