Use Cases & Applications
Bakery & Confectionery
Defatted apricot kernel flour is blended into biscuits, cakes, and pastries as a protein- and fibre-rich partial flour replacement that adds a marzipan-like nutty note while lowering fat content.
Functional Beverages & Smoothies
The high-protein (60%+) defatted kernel powder serves as a plant protein source in solid drink mixes, multi-protein composite milks, and juice blends, boosting protein content and contributing a natural almond-like flavour.
Dairy & Ice Cream
The powder is incorporated at 10-50% into yoghurt and ice cream formulations as a protein enrichment and texturizing ingredient that improves nutritional value and body without dairy-only solids.
Nutraceutical Capsules & Tablets
Standardized kernel/oil powder is dosed into dietary supplement capsules and tablets as a free-flowing carrier of the kernel's protein, minerals, and bioactive compounds, easier to encapsulate than the liquid oil.
Cosmetics & Skincare
Coarsely milled apricot kernel (stone) powder is used as a natural mechanical exfoliant in face, body, and foot scrubs, offering a biodegradable replacement for synthetic microbeads with gentler edges than walnut shell.
