Lemon Peel Powder is made from the dried outer peel of lemons, Citrus limon, milled into a fine, pale yellow powder. It carries the bright, zesty aroma of fresh lemon zest and is used in bakery, beverages, spice blends, herbal teas, cosmetics and natural cleaning products.
Arizone International supplies Lemon Peel Powder for food and beverage manufacturers, spice and seasoning companies, cosmetic and soap makers, wholesalers and exporters.
Zest in a Convenient Form
Most of a lemon's aroma lives in the thin, colourful outer layer of the peel, called the flavedo, which is full of tiny oil glands. The white layer underneath, the albedo, is rich in pectin and slightly bitter. Lemon peel powder captures both, giving a strong lemon flavour that is easy to measure and store, without the need to zest fresh fruit.
Lemons are grown in many warm countries, including Spain, Italy, Argentina, Turkey, Mexico and South Africa. In India, the familiar small "nimbu" is mostly a type of lime, while larger lemons are also grown. Much of the peel used for powder comes from juice processing, making it a valuable by-product.

Skin Care Tip

Leave-on cosmetic products should be formulated carefully, and users should patch test and avoid strong sun after application.
