Manufacturing industries that can use graviola powder

Graviola, also known in Brazil as jaca do Pará, is a fruit that has numerous benefits. The powder input is also widely used in the food, beverage, cosmetics and pharmacological industries.

Scientific named as Annona muricata L. and found in tropical regions, graviola resembles a jackfruit. It has an oval shape and a dark green peel covered with thorns. Its pulp is white, with a sweet and sour taste.

The food industry is one of the segments that most use the graviola powder, especially for the production of ice creams, yogurts, and juices. Some brands market the fruit’s pulp for the consumer to prepare soft drinks, mousses, and vitamins.

In the pharmacological industry, graviola is used to develop capsules and extracts. And in cosmetics, graviola is an input for moisturizing creams, soaps, deodorants, and perfumes.

Because it contains anti-inflammatory properties, it is usually indicated for people who suffer from ulcer or gastritis. At the same time, because it is acid, it should be avoided when the person has ulcers or any type of mouth injury.

Anemic people can also enjoy the fruit because of its iron content. And anyone who has osteoporosis or wants to prevent bone problems cannot ignore the calcium content present in graviola.

The abundance of water, mentioned above, plus the antioxidant properties, respectively, help in hydrating the body and retarding the aging.
