Apple Cider Vinegar Powder is a solidified form of liquid apple cider vinegar processed through modern technology. Derived from fresh apples or apple juice, it undergoes a two-step fermentation: yeast first converts sugars into ethanol, followed by acetic acid bacteria oxidizing ethanol into acetic acid. The final powder is created via techniques like spray drying or freeze-drying, which remove moisture while preserving core nutrients such as acetic acid, malic acid, polyphenols, minerals (e.g., potassium, magnesium), and enzymes . During processing, volatile organic acids responsible for strong pungency are reduced, resulting in a milder product with enhanced shelf stability.
    Typically appearing as an ivory-white to light yellow fine powder (passing through 40-80 mesh sieves), it features a balanced aroma of apples and vinegar. With excellent water solubility, a 1% aqueous suspension exhibits a pH of 3.0-5.0 and total acidity ranging from 5% to 10% (expressed as citric acid) . As an FDA-approved dietary supplement ingredient, it is widely used in capsules, tablets, gummies, and other health products, often combined with extracts like ginger or green coffee bean to support weight management and lipid regulation . In the food industry, it serves as a flavor enhancer in snacks, seasoning blends, soups, and dressings, while also acting as a natural preservative in fermented foods due to its antimicrobial properties .
