This project concerns the production and marketing of pineapple powder.

Pineapple powder is a product of fine grinding of dried pineapple. The product is sieved to remove any impurities. The drying is done in an oven after the pineapple is sliced. It is finely crushed, sieved and packed in plastic bags or sachets and hermetically sealed jars. It is therefore a fine powder with a yellow colour, a fruity pineapple smell that intensifies and a characteristic sweet pineapple taste. Its active constituents are bromelain, fruit acids and sugars.

It is used to reconstitute natural pineapple juice from water and is therefore a raw material available to juice producers who do not have easy access to fresh pineapple locally and especially in the hinterland countries. It is also used as a flavouring in the preparation of drinks, but also in confectionery and pastries, where it is of great interest.

Different ranges of the product under the "DELONIA" brand will be marketed:

25 kg bags

5 kg bags

1kg bag

500 g bag

100 g bag.

The production unit is designed to have a production capacity of 100 kg of dried pulp per day with a production ratio of 1/6.

To give it an interesting marketing profile, the product will be controlled by the Central Laboratory for Food Safety.

It will be distributed in supermarkets and shops and will be communicated through social media and outreach.

It will be progressively developed to meet all the standards that will allow its distribution on international markets.
