How to Use

Add two teaspoons to milkshakes, smoothies or yogurt for natural caramel flavour.

Replace up to 30 % refined sugar in cookies, energy bars and ice-cream bases.

Blend into nutraceutical shakes to supply prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS).

Key Benefits

Natural FOS and inulin support beneficial gut bacteria and low-glycaemic sweetness.

High potassium and iron content enhance electrolyte and mineral claims.

No carriers; low-temperature dehydration preserves creamy flavour notes.

60-mesh milling disperses smoothly in hot or cold systems without caking.

How can Sapota Powder’s fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) aid digestive wellness and sugar reduction?

Sapota fruit contains 8–12 % fructo-oligosaccharides—short, non-digestible carbohydrate chains that act as prebiotic fibres. FOS pass through the small intestine intact and are fermented by Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the colon, producing short-chain fatty acids associated with gut-barrier integrity and improved mineral absorption. Incorporating Sapota Powder at 5 g per serving provides roughly 0.5 g FOS, a dosage shown in several human studies to raise bifidobacterial counts and improve stool frequency. From a formulator’s standpoint, FOS are 30–40 % as sweet as sucrose yet have a glycaemic index of about 20, enabling partial sugar replacement without artificial sweeteners. The powder’s natural caramel note pairs well with chocolate, coffee and malt flavours, giving sensory appeal alongside functional gut benefits.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Claim-strength scale – High = multiple human studies; Moderate = a few trials; Emerging = early lab data.

Does Sapota Powder provide meaningful minerals for electrolyte products?

Typical analysis shows 950 mg potassium and 7 mg iron per 100 g. A 10 g serving adds 95 mg potassium—about 2 % RDA—plus 0.7 mg iron. While not a stand-alone electrolyte solution, the powder boosts natural potassium claims in isotonic drink mixes and plant-based recovery shakes.

Claim strength: High.

How stable is Sapota flavour in high-temperature baking?

The caramel-like maltol compound formed during drying remains stable up to 180 °C. Baking trials in granola bars retained > 80 % flavour intensity after 15 min at 175 °C, outperforming vanilla essence controls.

Claim strength: High.

Can Sapota Powder support low-GI snack formulation?

With intrinsic sugars dominated by low-GI fructose (≈ 55 %) and FOS, Sapota Powder shows a glycaemic load ~40 % lower than sucrose at equal sweetness. Replacing 20 % table sugar with sapota powder in breakfast biscuits reduced post-prandial glucose AUC by 18 % in pilot trials.

Claim strength: Moderate.

How does the powder behave in dairy applications like pudding or kulfi?

Natural pectin raises viscosity, improving mouthfeel and over-run stability in frozen desserts. At 4 % addition, kulfi achieved a smoother texture and 12 % lower ice-crystal score vs. control.

Claim strength: High.

Are there any traditional uses that align with modern functional claims?

Ayurvedic texts describe chickoo as “hridya” (heart-supportive) and digestive. Modern research attributes these effects to sapotin and quercetin glycosides that exhibit antioxidant and mild vasodilatory action, though human data remain limited.

Claim strength: Emerging.
