Production Process
Apricot powder can be produced from either the fruit or the seeds. For apricot kernel powder, the seeds are mechanically ground into a fine powder and then sterilized by ionizing radiation to ensure safety and quality. This process involves micronisation to achieve a uniform particle size, which is important for its use in skincare products[2].
Nutrition Facts
Apricot kernel powder is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It contains about 56% lipids, with oleic and linoleic acids being the primary components. The powder also includes vitamins A, C, and E, which contribute to its antioxidant properties[3][5].
Product Components and Benefits
Apricot kernel powder is particularly valued for its exfoliating properties, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products. The presence of vitamins and essential fatty acids provides moisturizing and antioxidant benefits, which can help protect the skin from damage and promote a healthier appearance[5]. Additionally, apricot kernel powder is believed to have immune-boosting properties due to its content of vitamin B17[5].
Product Applications
Apricot powder, especially apricot kernel powder, is widely used in skincare products such as scrubs, masks, and creams. It serves as a natural exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture. In food applications, apricot powder can be used to enrich yoghurt with antioxidants and phenolic compounds, enhancing its nutritional value[3]. Apricot fruit powder is often used in food products like breakfast snacks, where it adds flavor and nutritional benefits[1].
