What It Does
Blood Orange Juice Powder is a spray-dried or freeze-dried ingredient derived from the juice of Citrus sinensis blood orange varieties, such as Moro, Tarocco, and Sanguinello, which are distinguished by their exceptionally high anthocyanin content — a pigment rarely found in other citrus fruits. These anthocyanins, alongside vitamin C (ascorbic acid), flavonoids, and hydroxycinnamic acids, give the ingredient a potent antioxidant profile and a characteristic reddish-purple hue that can impart natural colorant properties in formulations. Formulators choose it for clean-label, naturally derived antioxidant protection, mild skin-brightening benefits, and the added appeal of a recognizable, consumer-friendly ingredient with a pleasant citrus scent note.
