Orange peel powder has quickly become one of the most versatile agricultural exports from Nigeria. Rich in vitamin C, calcium, and dietary fiber, it is valued across industries ranging from food and beverages to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. As global demand for natural ingredients grows, procurement buyers are turning to trusted Nigerian exporters like Winning Investments Limited for bulk sourcing.
1. Food and Beverage Industry: Natural Flavoring Agent
Orange peel powder is widely used as a natural flavor enhancer in:
- Bakery products (cakes, cookies, and pastries)
- Confectionery (candies, chocolates, and jellies)
- Beverages (herbal teas, soft drinks, and cocktails)
Its tangy, zesty profile makes it a sustainable alternative to artificial flavoring. Buyers sourcing through our Orange Peel Product Page can access bulk quantities suitable for food-grade applications.
2. Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements
Packed with antioxidants, orange peel powder is a valuable ingredient in dietary supplements that support:
- Immune health (due to high vitamin C content)
- Digestive health (thanks to pectin-rich fiber)
- Blood sugar management (slowing glucose absorption)
This makes dried orange peel exports from Nigeria a high-demand raw material for supplement manufacturers.
3. Cosmetics and Skincare Products
Orange peel contains bioactive compounds that brighten the skin, reduce acne, and combat free radicals. Industries use orange peel powder in:
- Face masks and scrubs
- Skin-brightening creams
- Anti-acne solutions
- Exfoliating soaps
Research shows that orange peel contains 136 mg of vitamin C per 100g—almost double that of the fruit pulp. With growing consumer preference for natural beauty products, global buyers actively seek orange peel powder suppliers in Nigeria to meet demand.
4. Fragrance and Essential Oils Industry
The citrusy aroma of orange peel makes it a vital raw material for:
- Essential oil extraction
- Perfume production
- Room fresheners and aromatherapy products
By supplying bulk orange peel for flavor and fragrance, Winning Investments Limited enables buyers in Europe, Asia, and North America to meet consumer demand for eco-friendly fragrances.
5. Animal Feed and Agriculture
Orange peel powder is also incorporated into animal feed as a cost-effective, nutrient-rich additive. Its fiber content improves digestion and reduces feed costs. In agriculture, dried orange peel is used as organic compost and soil conditioner, supporting sustainable farming.
