Family: Myrtaceae
Plant Part: Fruit
Origin: Brazil

The accepted botanical name Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) McVaugh can be verified through Plants of the World Online – Kew Science.
Camu Camu Fruit Powder is made from processed camu camu fruit.
Spray drying converts the fruit material into a practical powdered ingredient. This makes storage, transportation and industrial handling easier than working with fresh fruit.
The powdered format also allows manufacturers to incorporate camu camu into dry mixes, beverages, foods and nutritional formulations.
Camu camu has a naturally tart and acidic flavor. It combines well with citrus fruits, berries and tropical flavors such as mango, pineapple and acerola.
Camu camu has attracted scientific and commercial interest because of its naturally occurring vitamin C and plant compounds.
Scientific research has identified vitamin C, phenolic compounds, ellagic acid derivatives and other phytochemicals in camu camu and camu camu-derived powders.
Research has also evaluated spray-dried camu camu powder for food applications.
For manufacturers, the ingredient offers more than nutritional interest. It also provides a distinctive Brazilian fruit identity and a convenient powdered format.
Camu camu is widely recognized for its naturally occurring vitamin C.
Published research on spray-dried camu camu powder has measured substantial vitamin C concentrations in experimental powders.
However, vitamin C content can vary according to the fruit, processing conditions, carrier system and storage.
For commercial formulations, buyers should always use the product specification and Certificate of Analysis to confirm the actual vitamin C content of the supplied batch.
A study published in the Brazilian Journal of Food Technology evaluated vitamin C stability in spray-dried camu camu powder. The full scientific article is available through SciELO.
Camu camu contains several naturally occurring plant compounds associated with antioxidant activity.
Researchers have identified phenolic compounds, ellagic acid derivatives, ellagitannins and other phytochemicals in camu camu-derived products.
A study published in Food Chemistry characterized phenolic compounds, vitamin C and antioxidant capacity in camu camu powder products. Read the study through ScienceDirect.
These findings make Camu Camu Fruit Powder interesting for food, beverage and nutritional product development.
They should not be interpreted as evidence that a commercial powder treats, prevents or cures disease.
Vitamin C has established nutritional functions.
When a finished product provides the amount required by the regulations of its destination market, manufacturers may be able to use authorized vitamin C nutrition or health claims.
Any claim should be based on the analyzed amount contained in the finished product.
The natural vitamin C content of fresh camu camu should never replace analytical data from the commercial powder.
Additional research on vitamin C extraction and analysis in camu camu is available through PubMed.
Camu camu gives manufacturers an opportunity to incorporate a recognizable Brazilian fruit into product development.
It works particularly well in concepts involving tropical fruits, Brazilian ingredients, fruit-based nutrition and innovative beverage formulations.
Spray drying converts processed fruit material into a convenient powder.
The powder is easier to weigh, blend, store and transport than fresh fruit.
It can also simplify industrial production and international distribution.
Camu Camu Fruit Powder can be considered for many product categories.
Potential applications include beverages, nutritional powders, supplements, foods, smoothies, fruit blends, sachets, capsules and tablets.
Camu Camu Fruit Powder 2:1 offers flexibility for food, beverage and nutritional product development.
A 2:1 concentration generally represents the relationship between fruit input and the resulting concentrated ingredient according to the applicable production specification.
The exact fruit-equivalent calculation should always be confirmed in the product documentation.
Potential uses include:
The ideal dosage depends on the required flavor, serving size, product format and technical specification.
Camu Camu Fruit Powder 5:1 provides a higher fruit-equivalent concentration than the 2:1 option according to the applicable production specification.
It may be useful when formulation space is limited or when a higher fruit-equivalent input is required.
Potential applications include:
A 5:1 ratio does not automatically mean five times more vitamin C.
Vitamin C content and other analytical characteristics depend on the fruit, processing conditions, carrier composition and storage.
Manufacturers should use the actual analytical specification when calculating nutrient values.
The beverage industry offers several applications for Camu Camu Fruit Powder.
Manufacturers can evaluate it for:
Camu camu naturally has a tart flavor.
Mango, banana, pineapple, acerola, berry and citrus flavors can help create a balanced sensory profile.
During product development, manufacturers should evaluate acidity, dispersibility, sedimentation, flavor and stability.
Companies interested in another Brazilian fruit ingredient commonly used in beverage and food development can explore our Acerola Berry Products.
Supplement formulators can evaluate Camu Camu Fruit Powder for several formats.
Potential applications include capsules, tablets, sachets, stick packs and powdered nutritional products.
It can also be blended with other fruit powders or botanical ingredients.
Before commercial production, formulators should evaluate important parameters such as moisture, particle size, bulk density, flow and compatibility with other ingredients.
Companies developing Brazilian botanical formulations can also explore our Guarana Products.
Food companies can use Camu Camu Fruit Powder in several product concepts.
Potential applications include:
Heat may reduce vitamin C stability.
Manufacturers using the ingredient in baked, pasteurized or heat-processed products should test the finished product after processing.
Camu camu can complement other Brazilian fruit and botanical ingredients.
Formulators may combine it with Acerola Berry Products when developing fruit blends associated with naturally occurring vitamin C.
It can also complement Acai Berry Powder in tropical fruit, smoothie and nutrition formulations.
Companies developing beverage or supplement products may also evaluate Guarana Products.

Neither option is universally better.
Manufacturers should choose the grade according to serving size, technical specification, flavor profile and finished-product requirements.
Professional buyers should evaluate technical documentation before placing an order.
Important information may include:
Documentation requirements can vary according to the destination country and final application.
Store Camu Camu Fruit Powder in its original sealed packaging.
Keep it in a cool and dry environment.
Protect the powder from direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity, excessive oxygen exposure, strong odors and cross-contamination.
Close the packaging correctly after opening.
Handling equipment should remain clean and dry.
Vitamin C is sensitive to environmental conditions. Proper storage can therefore help maintain product quality.
Manufacturers planning to declare a specific vitamin C level should conduct appropriate finished-product stability testing.
Scientific research has evaluated the stability of vitamin C in spray-dried camu camu powder.
Garcia et al. published the study “Vitamin C stability in acerola and camu-camu powder obtained by spray drying” in the Brazilian Journal of Food Technology.
Researchers evaluated physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activity and vitamin C stability during storage.
The research reinforces the importance of suitable processing, packaging and storage.
