Introduction

A genus of flowering trees and bushes in the Rutaceae family is called Citrus. Citrus fruits are well known for their aromatic rinds rich in juice, flavonoids, and limonoids. The juice's characteristic acidic flavor is due to the abundance of citric acid and other organic acids. Oranges, lemons, grapefruits, pomelos, and limes are examples of citrus fruits. Over half of the world's citrus fruit comprises oranges, the most widely traded and cultivated. Tangerines, lemons, and grapefruits are the next most widely produced citrus fruits. The acidic citrus fruits orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, etc., are used to make the citric powder. Citrus fruits are dried using various methods, such as freeze-drying, drum drying, spray drying, and air drying. Citrus production and export have increased slowly over the past three decades, lagging behind.

Market Dynamics

Increasing Awareness of Citrus Powder, Needs of the Personal Care and Cosmetic Industry, and Increasing Popularity Drives the Global Market

Citrus contains vitamin C, fiber, essential oils, plant compounds, and minerals. Mostly carbs (10%) and water (88–89%). Citrus carbs include glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Citrus fruits are high in pectin, which slows the digestion of sugar and starch, lowering blood sugar. Dietary fibers are the basis of a healthy diet and have health benefits. Vitamins and minerals in citrus fruits include:

• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is essential for immune function and skin health.
• Potassium reduces blood pressure and improves heart health.
• Vitamin B6 helps the body convert food into energy.

Modern lifestyles and poor dietary practices put the population at risk for diseases and vitamin and mineral deficiencies, such as vitamin C, B6, and potassium. Citrus powder provides essential vitamins and minerals, prevents cancer, asthma, anemia, kidney stones, and scurvy, boosts the immune system, maintains a healthy complexion, aids in weight loss, and promotes good health and cardiovascular health and blood pressure.

The majority of people avoid cosmetics and personal care products containing chemical compounds. Consumers' preference for natural products increases the perceived benefits of citrus powder, including vitamin C, antioxidants, and pectin. Powdered citrus aids in pH adjustment, product stability, and shelf life. Thus, the cosmetics industry's demand for citrus powder is growing. Rich in antioxidants and bioflavonoids, the citrus powder promotes cellular turnover, balances skin tone, and protects it from free radical damage. Citric acid also possesses cleansing and foul odor-controlling properties, driving the use of citrus powder in sanitization and deodorant products, and is expected to drive the growth of the personal care industry over the forecast period.

Citrus Powder Enhancements Offering Untapped Growth Potential Creates Tremendous Opportunities

Citrus powder is a powdered fruit product with natural properties and an organic composition. Consumers' preference for natural products over synthetic flavors and essences has created numerous expansion opportunities for the citrus powder market. The citrus powder is used extensively in skin care, soap, cosmetics, medications, other personal care products, and food and beverages. Due to their acidic taste, oranges are the most popular and widely consumed fruit for powder production, and manufacturing companies have mass-produced them.

However, lemon, grapefruit, and tangerine have gained popularity recently. The longer shelf life of dried goods like dry lemon phenolic compounds, which can be used as a dietary supplement, is made possible by investments in research and innovation. Blue Grass and other vital players introduced citrus powder for commercial use and wholesale distribution to major food manufacturers and distributors. Due to recent research revealing their beneficial properties, citrus peels and seeds are now utilized in producing byproducts and existing products.
