Our Broken and Powder Laurel Leaves are produced from clean, aromatic leaves processed into fine particles suitable for blends, seasonings, and industrial applications. This form provides maximum flavour release and is ideal for food factories, spice brands, and seasoning manufacturers.
Powder and broken forms offer easy mixing, uniform flavouring, and efficient use in industrial production.
Broken and powder forms are milled under controlled conditions, screened for particle size, and packed to preserve aroma with minimal moisture.
Consistent grinding and controlled particle size.
Ideal for seasonings and commercial blends.
Moisture-protected, hygienic bulk packs.
Fast dispatch and reliable documentation.
We have Broken / Powder Laurel Leaves, Each batch is screened for impurities and processed to maintain natural aroma, freshness, and colour.
The primary difference is the surface area and flavor release rate. Broken Laurel Leaves (typically 2mm to 10mm pieces) are ideal for tea bags, pickling brines, and spice sachets where a controlled infusion is needed. Bay Leaf Powder is a finely ground format (usually 40-60 mesh) that provides an immediate, uniform flavor distribution throughout a product. Powder is the preferred choice for meat processing, dry spice rubs, and industrial soup bases where leaf particles should not be visible but the aroma must be potent.
Yes, provided the grinding process is strictly controlled. At DITCO, we use low-temperature milling techniques to prevent the volatile oils from evaporating due to frictional heat. Our laurel leaf powder typically maintains an essential oil content of 2.0% to 2.5%, rich in $1,8\text{-Cineole}$. This ensures that the industrial-grade powder delivers the same signature Mediterranean aroma and antioxidant properties as the whole Laurus nobilis leaves from which it was derived.
While we can customize the granulation to client specifications, our standard industrial bay leaf powder is milled to a 40-60 mesh size. This ensures a fine, free-flowing consistency that prevents clumping in automated seasoning dispensers. For “Broken” grades, we offer various fractions, such as 2-4mm or 5-10mm, depending on whether the application is for botanical infusions or decorative spice blends.
Ground products have a higher surface area, making them more susceptible to environmental factors. DITCO mitigates this risk through a rigorous multi-stage cleaning and optional steam sterilization (SS) process. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every batch, specifically reporting on Total Plate Count (TPC), Yeast & Mold, and confirming the absence of Salmonella and E. coli, ensuring full compliance with EU and FDA food safety regulations for processed spices.
Due to the increased surface area, laurel leaf powder is more sensitive to oxidation than whole leaves. To maximize potency, our powder is packed in moisture-proof, multi-layer kraft bags with food-grade polyethylene liners. When stored in a cool ($<20$°C), dry, and dark environment, the shelf life is 18 to 24 months. We recommend keeping the original packaging sealed until use to preserve the delicate volatile oil profile and prevent aroma loss.
