ORIGINE Opens New Extract Powder Factory in Jakarta: Advancing Natural Ingredient Innovation

Extract Powder and Its Advantages

The food industry constantly seeks innovative ingredients, and extract powders offer a versatile solution. These concentrated spice forms are created through a spray-drying process of liquid spice extracts. This method results in a fine, dried powder that offers several key advantages for product development:

• Extended Shelf Life: The spray-drying process significantly reduces moisture content, leading to a longer product lifespan.
• Enhanced Versatility and Ease of Use: Extract powders dissolve readily in liquids, making them ideal for integration into beverages, capsules, and functional foods.
• Improved Safety Profile: The extraction process allows for the removal of undesirable components, such as allergens, pesticides, or other potential contaminants.

ORIGINE Extract Powder Application

ORIGINE's Extract Powders are highly versatile and show exceptional performance in various applications, such as distillery & beverage and plant-based dairy & protein applications. Find out more below how they can accelerate your innovation process.

Distillery & Beverage Applications

Extract powders offer a simple, innovative solution for beverage and distillery brands seeking natural flavors and colors. They are easy to dose, highly stable, and reduce the need for artificial aromas. For distilleries, they enable post-distillation flavor and color enhancement, creating smoother, cleaner profiles while avoiding limitations of traditional infusions and category regulations (e.g., whisky, classic rum). This allows brands to innovate faster, meet growing demand for natural ingredients, and do so without major changes to production systems.

Plant-Based Dairy & Protein Applications

In plant-based milks, ice creams, and protein powders, extract powders simplify formulation by masking vegetal notes, adding natural sweetness, and maintaining flavor under heat. They reduce the need for additives and artificial sweeteners, supporting clean-label innovation. Their solubility and potent sensory strength resolve challenges like blandness in low-calorie products. For plant-based brands, ORIGINE's extracts accelerate product development, bringing indulgent flavors—like chai, cinnamon, or vanilla protein blends—without increasing R&D complexity or cost.

Product Highlight: Butterfly Pea as Natural Colorant

Our Butterfly Pea Extract Powder is one of our standout products. It has shown successful promise as natural colorants with stable pigmentation. Butterfly Pea is already a popular natural colorant and ingredient, widely embraced across Asia and the USA.
