Grapefruit product overview

Grapefruit ingredients are used to deliver bright citrus character, acidity balance, and aroma across beverages and flavor systems. Concentrates and powders are often selected for logistics efficiency, while NFC and frozen formats can support a fresher sensory profile. Citrus cells (pulp) add authentic texture and visual appeal, and grapefruit oil is widely used for natural aroma and top-note flavor impact.

What teams optimize for

  • Consistent flavor + acidity targets
  • Texture and suspension (cells/pulp)
  • Aroma impact (oil) and dosing consistency
  • Efficient packaging + shelf-life fit

Fast RFQ checklist

  • Format(s): cells / frozen / concentrate / NFC / oil / powder
  • Targets: °Brix, pH/acidity, pulp level or cell size
  • Sensory: flavor profile (bright/balanced/bitter) + color
  • Packaging + destination + timeline
  • Certifications + required documents (COA, origin, etc.)

Available formats

Cells

Citrus juice cells (pulp) used to add authentic texture and visual appeal to beverages, fruit preparations, and dessert systems.

  • Brix and acidity in carrier syrup/juice
  • Suspension behavior in beverage system
  • Packaging and storage conditions

Typical applications

  • RTD beverages, lemonades, sparkling drinks
  • Fruit preparations and inclusions
  • Desserts and toppings
  • Premium texture additions

Frozen

Frozen ingredient used to protect quality and provide year-round access to seasonal crops (requires cold chain).

  • Fermentation inputs (where appropriate)

NFC Juice

Not-From-Concentrate single-strength juice, typically chilled or frozen to preserve a fresher sensory profile.

What buyers specify

  • Single-strength spec (solids, acidity)
  • Chilled vs. frozen logistics
  • Micro and shelf-life targets
  • Pulp level (if applicable)
  • Certifications (e.g., USDA Organic) where available

Typical applications

  • Origin and sensory profile
  • Regulatory/compliance documentation
  • Packaging suitable for oils

Typical applications

  • Beverage flavoring (top-note aroma)
  • Candy and gum
  • Bakery and culinary flavor systems
  • Natural flavor blends

Powder

Dehydrated ingredient (often spray-dried) used when you need low water activity and dry handling.

What buyers specify

  • Carrier system (if applicable) and flow properties
  • Solubility / dispersibility
  • Color and flavor intensity
  • Moisture and micro limits
  • Packaging and shelf-life targets

Typical applications

  • Instant beverage mixes
  • Dry blends and supplements
  • Bakery mixes
  • Seasoning systems and snacks
  • Natural flavor in dry formats

Typical specifications (what to ask for)

Specs vary by format and program; this checklist helps your team align quickly.

ParameterHow it’s typically specified
Soluble solids (°Brix)Set per format (e.g., concentrate vs. NFC vs. cells carrier)
pH / acidityTarget range based on application and process
Flavor profileDefined sensory target (bright/balanced/bitter), plus aroma needs
Pulp / cellsCells: cut size + suspension behavior; Juice: pulp level where applicable
Oil typeCold-pressed / folded (program dependent), sensory target, documentation
MicrobiologyLimits per program and intended use
CertificationsUSDA Organic / Kosher / others upon request (where available)
PackagingDrums / totes / cases / other packs depending on format and supplier
StorageAmbient/chilled/frozen depending on format (oil handling varies by program)

Tip: If you’re formulating sparkling/clear RTDs, tell us your turbidity and suspension needs—format choice (clarified concentrate vs. NFC vs. cells) matters.

Applications

Common application paths for Grapefruit ingredients include:

  • Beverages: RTD juices, sparkling citrus drinks, lemonades, soda bases, functional drinks
  • Confectionery: gummies, candies, syrups, flavor bases, gum (oil)
  • Dairy: yogurt fruit prep, drinkable yogurt, frozen desserts
  • Bakery: glazes, fillings, citrus notes in mixes
  • Culinary: marinades, dressings, sauces, savory blends
  • Fermentation: cider/seltzer/wine adjuncts where applicable

Tip: Tell us your end product (RTD, sparkling, confectionery, etc.). We can suggest the best format and a buyer-friendly spec outline.

Packaging & storage guidance

Packaging: Drums and totes are common for concentrates, NFC, and cells; powders ship in lined cases or bags; frozen programs require frozen-capable packaging and palletization. Oils require packaging suitable for aromatic oils.

Storage: Concentrates may ship ambient, chilled, or frozen depending on item and program. NFC, cells, and frozen formats generally require cold chain. Oil handling/storage depends on program and packaging.

Documentation: COA and supporting quality documents are typically available. If you need USDA Organic, Kosher, allergen statements, or additional testing, mention it in your inquiry.

Traceability: Industrial programs often include lot IDs and origin information; requirements vary by supplier.
