NT Biotech Durian Freeze Dried Powder: 95% Nutrient Retention, Zero Additives—Why Food Brands & Bakers Choose It

The freeze dried durian powder of New Things Biotech is a high quality one. The brand is ISO 22000 verified and Halal, which means that the products it produces meet the high safety and high standard requirements. The product is also referred to as durian fruit powder or durian powder and it is increasingly being used by the food and beverage industry internationally as a valuable ingredient. Here you can read about the technical benefits of freeze dried durian powder.

What’s Durian Freeze Dried Powder, and how do they make it?

Unlike traditional fruit powders manufactured by heating, Durian Freeze Dried Powder goes through three sublimation steps, beginning with fresh Mao Shan Wang or D24 durian pulp which is flash-frozen at -40℃ to -60℃, followed by vacuum chamber low-temperature dehydration (sublimation), and grinding into 80-100 mesh fine powder. According to Dr. Lena Tan, R&D Director of NT Biotech, the process maintains over 95% of the fruit bioactive compounds and volatile flavor molecules, which also include diallyl disulfide that is the main compound responsible for the characteristic aroma of durian, and prevents oxidation and nutrient loss. The usual hot-air drying (at 60℃ or more) eliminates 40-50% of vitamin C content and permanently changes the flavor profile. The product is also absolutely free of any additives, artificial sweeteners and preservatives (FDA 21 CFR Acb184.1 compliant).

Quantifiable Durian Powder Benefits

In nutrition, 100g of NT Biotech Durian Freeze Dried Powder provides 15mg of vitamin C (17% of Daily Value, DV), 8g of dietary fiber (32% of DV), 450mg potassium (9% of DV), and 2.3g of essential amino acids (with lysine). Such nutrients are rendered into practical benefits that include Digestive health. Soluble fiber slows down the absorption of glucose (GI value =55) and provides gut probiotics, which minimize bloating in 78% of test subjects (2024 consumer trial).

Cost-effectiveness & cost- Saving: It has a high flavor concentration such that only 0.8-1.2% addition rate is used in bakery products which reduces the cost of raw materials by 30% as compared to the use of fresh durian pulp.

Shelf stability: With a moisture content of 2% or less, the product has a shelf life of 12 months (room temperature, sealed pack), and the fresh durian has a shelf life of 3 to 5 days.

3. Just how is it professionally applied across industries?

It is versatile and therefore is used in a number of industries.

It can be used in high protein smoothies as a preferred durian smoothie powder and it mixes smoothly without clumping (1-2 tsp per serving). Pastry chefs utilize it at a rate of 1% in superior ice cream and mousses to improve the flavour without affecting the creaminess. Singapore's Ice Cream Chefs and other brands indicate a 25% increase in sales of the durian-flavoured lines with this powder.

Commercialized food items: Meal substitute drinks and energy bars contain durian extract powder (3-5% concentration) to increase the content of fiber and to provide a natural sweet taste. This complies with the Clean Labels trend, which is supported by 68% of the American market (source: Mintel 2024).

Household baking: The powder is fine and therefore can be measured out easily (e.g., 1 tbsp to 12 muffins). It has an easy form of use as 90% of the home bakers in the 2024 survey report it is easier to use compared to the fresh durian.
