Some Manuka honey contains levels of MGO and some do not, once the bees make honey from Manuka pollen the bee keepers test the honey for MGO content. The Manuka honey is graded according to MGO levels, the higher the activity the higher the price of the honey. Nutradry offers “Non-active” which contains little or no MGO but still contains all the other benefits of Manuka honey and we also offer an active honey which contains a minimum level of MGO 100+ in the finished powder. Anything higher than 100 mg/kg is considered antibacterial.

What is the Nutrient content of the powder?
Being a natural product there is natural variation of the nutrient content in the powders. We do not test each batch for nutrients as this would be very costly but we do know from many years of experience and several University studies that Nutradry has excellent retention of valuable nutrients in the final powder and that the damage during drying is negligible. A good example is the retention of vitamin C in our drying of Kakadu Plums. All vitamin C is retained and concentrated during drying, this product is tested every batch as it forms part of the COA. From time to time we do test some products to validate the raw material and drying process standards & quality.
We can and do test nutrient levels in specific products on a case by case basis; this is primarily for our contract dry customers’ or customers who purchase a product for a specific nutrient purpose. Please talk to us if this is of interest (Minimum volumes apply).
What are some examples of the high nutrient retention in Nutradry products?
Carrot juice powder beta-carotene 1010mg/Kg
Kakadu plum powder vitamin C 28,833mg/100mg
Organic Acai powder ORAC 130,300 umol TE/100gm
Premium Blueberry powder ORAC 106,000 mmol TE/100gm
Beetroot juice powder Nitrite 2180 mg/100gm
How do you achieve such intense colours in Nutradry’s powders?
Due to our low temperature evaporation drying process we do not damage the delicate nutrients in the food we are drying.
These nutrients provide the colour in our food, Anthocyanins produces blues, purples and reds, Carotenes give us orange, Lutein generates yellow, green from Chlorophyll and so on. The bright vibrant colours of Nutradry’s powders is further proof of the high nutrient retention we achieve through our drying technology.
