Lemon is a nutritious fruit rich in vitamin C, which is generally used as a beauty food. It contains a large amount of vitamin C. VC is one of the important elements widely recognized in the field of beauty and cosmetics. It can effectively inhibit the activity of lysine enzyme and reduce the oxidized melanin to colorless reducing melanin, so as to achieve the effect of whitenin. Lemon powder is manufactured with spray drying technology. The process includes crushing and juicing fresh fruit, concentrating the juice, adding maltodextrin into the juice, then spray drying with a hot gas, collecting dried powder and sieving the powder through 80 mesh.
