FAQ
Q1: How does Sea Buckthorn Juice Powder differ from Freeze-Dried Whole Fruit Powder?
A1: Juice powder is produced from clarified/pressed juice, making it highly water-soluble with few gritty pulp—ideal for beverages. Freeze-dried whole fruit powder includes fruit skin and seed fiber, retaining natural lipids (Omega-7) but having lower liquid solubility.
Q2: Is GH Sea Buckthorn Juice Powder suitable for cold-blend beverage production?
A2: Yes. The powder is engineered for rapid dissolution in room-temperature and cold liquids, leaving no floating residue or persistent lumps.
Q3: What are the recommended storage conditions to ensure maximum shelf life?
A3: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity (<20℃, relative humidity <60%). Keep aluminum barrier packaging tightly sealed when not in use.
