Papaya is known for its bright orange colour, mild sweetness and soft texture. DWBL Foods produces Dehydrated Papaya Dice and Papaya Powder using ripe papayas sourced from major cultivation regions such as Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka. The dehydration process preserves the fruit’s natural colour and flavour, making it suitable for bakery, dry mixes, nutraceuticals and ready-to-eat applications.
Product Overview
Dehydrated papaya is prepared by washing, peeling, deseeding and dicing or pureeing ripe papayas, followed by controlled hot-air or low-temperature drying. The dried dice retain the fruit’s natural structure and colour, while the fine powder provides concentrated papaya flavour that blends easily in formulations. No artificial flavours, colours or preservatives are added.
