Description
FRUIT & VEGETABLE POWDER
Cantaloupe Powder
Cantaloupe powder is supplied as a dried, milled preparation of cantaloupe melon fruit, used to deliver fruit flavour, colour and body in a blend. Sugars and other soluble solids are hygroscopic, so the packing and the storage statement should be read together with the specification. It is a food ingredient for further processing and is not a finished consumer product.

Buyer Decision Guide
Agree the particle size, the moisture limit and the delivered colour and flavour before approval, and confirm the packing format, since this grade is hygroscopic and picks up moisture once opened. Where the buyer’s process is sensitive to sugar content, request the soluble-solids figure for the offered batch.
- Particle size, moisture and microbiological status on the certificate of analysis
- Soluble-solids figure available on request
- Hygroscopic behaviour stated, with packing agreed accordingly
- Delivered colour and flavour agreed against a retained sample
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment
- Regulatory status, permitted uses and labelling are the buyer’s responsibility for the destination market
How This Grade Differs
Cantaloupe is offered as dried fruit powder, as a juice concentrate and as a flavour-standardised preparation. The dried powder carries the whole fruit, including the fibre, and is hygroscopic; the concentrate delivers solids on a different basis. They are not interchangeable in the buyer’s formulation.
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
