How to make lemon powder using lemon juice like milk powder?

Seasoned Advice Asked by user57453 on July 7, 2021

Recently I had a good lemon harvest , and I’m experimenting with it . I like to know if I can make lemon powder , so I can use them later . I tried heating , but it all went black and became unusable , is there a way to remove all the water in lime juice without harming the taste ?

The problem is that you likely cannot afford it. It is done by vacuum, so the machine (rotovap) will cost you about 10 000 dollars, or you can find a few Chinese noname suppliers for maybe 6 000.

It is an amazing thing to play with in the kitchen, but it will cover the cost of buying supermarket lemons for several lifetimes.

Any conventional ways of conserving the lemons will result in something entirely different. Certainly not lemon powder which can be rehydrated to something lemon-juice like. But there are other techniques for preserving lemons, which simply create a different end product with different uses. You could ferment them, or make jam, or preserve the peel only, etc. This is the more feasible way to deal with them.

I have placed fresh squeezed lemon juice in a Harvest Right freeze dryer. It does turn it to a powder. Within a short amount of time it changes to a sticky clump. I have been reading that you add Maltodextrin to it so it will not cake. I am interested in the ratios of this.
