Mandarin juice is mainly composed of carbohydrates, particularly natural sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, which represent the main source of energy and give the fruit its characteristic sweet flavor.
It also contains good amounts of dietary fiber, beneficial for digestion and metabolism. It is rich in vitamins C and A: the former is essential for the immune system, collagen synthesis, and skin health; the latter supports vision, cell growth, and overall wellness.
It also provides essential minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron, along with bioactive compounds including flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenols, which have antioxidant properties that protect against free radical damage and support cardiovascular and immune health.
Mandarin juice can be used in the formulation of liquid supplements, liquid detergents (soaps, bath foams, shampoos), and functional beverages.

Mandarin juice powder can be used in a wide range of food products, functional beverages, supplements, and cosmetics.
