New Zealand startup revolutionizes food technology with avocado powder that is freeze dried

by

Food technology company Ovavo located within New Zealand, is innovating by using a freeze-dried avocado paste. Utilizing vacuum technology as well as sub-zero temperatures that dehydrate avocado flesh and turns it into a granular powder. The process turns solid ice crystals inside the avocado’s freezer into vapor. The vapor is extracted while preserving the avocado’s inherent properties, including texture and flavor, as well as color and nutrient content.

The powder is able to be kept in a cool, dry place for more than one year, if it is not opened which makes it an extremely flexible ingredient. Ovavo explores a variety of uses that can use the powder, ranging including ice creams and chocolate truffles, to breakfast drinks, hummus and even a sour cream. Ovavo also recommends that its product be used to be used as a substitute for butter in baking. It also highlights the nutritional advantages of it, including high-quality fiber and potassium as well as vitamins B and E.

Avocado powder isn’t the only freeze-dried item available. Fact.MR’s new analysis shows that freeze dried powders are increasing in recognition due to their capacity to keep vital nutrients in check and prolong shelf-life. The market size, at $27.7 billion by 2023, will grow by a 7.2 percent annual compound rate up to 2033. Avocado powder is a popular ingredient for breakfast bars as well as baked goods. It is also a factor that contributes to the growth of its market.
