Dehydrated Spinach Powder

Dehydrated Spinach powder is a powdered product made from fresh spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) – either the whole plant or just the leaves. We carefully select spinach that is deep green, hasn't bolted, and is free from yellowed or rotten leaves. The spinach then undergoes a process of dehydration, drying, and pulverization. The resulting powder is green or light green, with the characteristic aroma and taste of spinach. This product retains most of the nutritional components of spinach, such as vitamin C, β-carotene, iron, calcium, and other minerals, as well as natural active ingredients like chlorophyll.

This product is a convenient nutritional supplement that can be added to smoothies, juices, soups, sauces, or baked goods to increase daily vegetable intake. Compared to fresh spinach, this product is easier to consume and has a higher nutrient density. Furthermore, our factory can precisely customize the formula to meet the specific needs of different industry clients.

 

Dehydrated Spinach Powder is produced from whole Spinacia oleracea L. leaves and retains a broad spectrum of naturally occurring nutrients and phytonutrients typically found in leafy greens. Nature and peer-reviewed nutritional data suggest the following associations in the context of food and functional ingredient applications:

Vitamins: Spinach Powder contains vitamin A precursors (as carotenoids), vitamin K, folate, and other micronutrients commonly associated with normal metabolic and physiological functions in nutrition research. PubMed

Minerals: Naturally occurring minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc contribute to the nutritional density of spinach powder. PubMed

Phytonutrients: Chlorophyll, lutein, and zeaxanthin are plant pigments studied for their roles in supporting normal cellular antioxidant activity and eye health within nutrition science. spice.alibaba.com

Dietary Fiber: Spinach Powder contains dietary fiber, contributing to the bulk of food matrices and aligning with fiber-rich ingredient profiles.PubMed

High Nutrient Density: Dehydrated and concentrated 8-10 times, 1g of spinach powder is equivalent to the nutrition of 10g of fresh spinach.
Oxalate Control: Low-temperature baking or short-term blanching processes reduce oxalate by 30-50%, minimizing the risk of kidney stones.
Zero Sediment upon Rehydration: Excellent solubility, no dregs or stratification after mixing, resulting in a smooth texture.
Wide Range of Applicable Users: Convenient for infants, seniors, vegetarians, and fitness enthusiasts to supplement their vegetable intake.

 

 

Iron & Micronutrient Contribution: Spinach Powder contains naturally occurring non-heme iron alongside vitamin K and other micronutrients. In the context of overall dietary intake, these nutrients contribute to normal iron supply and metabolic functions. PubMe
Phytonutrient Contribution: Natural phytonutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin are studied for their role in supporting normal cellular antioxidant activity and contribute to the overall antioxidant profile of the formulation.
Dietary Fiber Contribution: Dietary fiber in spinach powder contributes to the total fiber content of finished foods, aligning with formulations designed to promote fullness and support normal digestive function as part of a balanced diet.

Vitamin & Mineral Support: The presence of vitamin K, calcium, and magnesium in spinach powder aligns with nutrient profiles studied for their roles in normal metabolic maintenance and nutrient utilization.

Phytonutrient Associations: Carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin are studied in nutrition science for their association with normal visual function and contribution to antioxidant systems.

 

 

Spinach Powder is used as a plant-based nutrient source in a variety of applications where enhanced vegetable content, color, and nutrient density are desired. Typical formulation contributions include:

• Nutrient Density: Concentrated micronutrient profile supports products positioned for vegetable-derived nutrition and clean-label claims.
• Plant Pigmentation & Sensory: Natural green pigmentation from chlorophyll can be used for color enhancement in food and beverage formulations.
• Dietary Fiber Contribution: The inherent fiber content can contribute to formula texture and labeling as a source of dietary fiber.
• Phytonutrient Support: Phytonutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin are associated in nutrition research with normal visual function and cellular antioxidant activity. 

These statements describe nutritional associations and ingredient roles without implying prevention or treatment of health conditions.

 

 

Raw Material Selection: Fresh, high-quality spinach is selected.
Washing and Pre-treatment: Spinach is washed to remove impurities.
Dehydration and Drying: Spray drying technology is used to preserve nutrients.
Pulverization and Sieving: The dried spinach is pulverized into a fine powder and sieved to obtain a uniform powder.
Packaging: Sealed packaging to prevent moisture and oxidation.

Nutrient Density

1g of spinach powder ≈ 10 g of fresh spinach (dehydrated and concentrated 8-10 times).
Every 100g of powder contains 28mg iron, 1.9mg folate, and 800mg lutein, amounts difficult to consume at once from fresh spinach.

 

Portability and Shelf Life

Powder form can be stored at 25℃ away from light for 24 months; fresh spinach wilts and loses water in 3-5 days when refrigerated at 4℃.
90% less transport volume, no cold chain required, suitable for outdoor activities, travel, and astronaut food.

 

Oxalate and Anti-Nutrient Factor Control

Blanching at 90-95℃ for 30s before spray drying reduces oxalate by 30-40%, lowering the risk of kidney stones; fresh spinach retains 100% of its oxalate.

 

Diverse Usage Scenarios

Can be directly dissolved in water, milk, yogurt, or mixed into flour, meal replacement powders, noodles, and infant food; fresh spinach requires cooking and is limited by dish forms.

 

Stable Color and Flavor

Chlorophyll and carotenoids are protected by ascorbic acid and low-temperature processing, resulting in a stable, vibrant green color; fresh spinach easily browns when heated.

 

Microbiological Safety

Ozone + UV secondary sterilization ensures total bacterial count ≤1000CFU/g; fresh spinach surfaces can easily carry soil bacteria and parasite eggs.

 

Year-Round Consistent Supply

In off-season or difficult-to-transport areas, this product ensures stable nutritional intake year-round; fresh spinach prices fluctuate significantly due to climate and logistics.

 

Precise Formulation

Factories can standardize iron, folate, and lutein content, facilitating the development of iron-fortified, eye-protective, and pregnancy-specific powders; fresh spinach nutrition varies greatly with variety and soil.
