Product details
Everything your QC and R&D teams check before a sample.
Ripe Vietnamese durian flesh, frozen and freeze-dried at partner plants in Vietnam, then milled and sealed in aluminium-laminate bags; stored cool and dry.
Frozen durian pulp needs a reefer and a freezer at your plant. Freeze-dried powder carries the durian aroma in a dry container and goes straight into a mixer, a dough or a tea base.
Each lot is one variety, Ri6 or Monthong, stated on the COA, with nothing added. Durian is rich in fat, so the pack and storage decide how long the aroma stays fresh. VinFruits Global sources, specifies and exports.

Market access
China
The plant needs GACC registration under Decree 280, in force since 1 June 2026. Chinese checks on Vietnamese durian include cadmium and auramine O, so both are on the lot report.
United States
The plant must be FDA-registered and your importer runs FSVP supplier checks. A 100% durian powder lists durian as its only ingredient; origin follows where the durian was grown.
EU, Japan and South Korea
EU residue limits apply to the powder after allowing for drying. Japan holds unlisted pesticides to 0.01 mg/kg; Korea needs the foreign plant registered with MFDS.
Checked 19 Oct 2026. We reconfirm for each contract.
Before you order
How do I start with freeze-dried durian powder?
Ask for a sample with its data sheet and tell us Ri6 or Monthong. After approval we agree an LCL trial lot, then full 20-ft or 40-ft dry containers; the bag count is stated in the quotation.
Ri6 or Monthong durian powder?
Ri6 gives a strong, bittersweet durian note for ice cream and durian-forward desserts. Monthong is milder and sweeter, so it blends into bakery fillings and bubble tea. Samples of both can ship together for a side-by-side test.
Can durian powder go to China?
Yes, from a plant registered with GACC under Decree 280. Chinese controls on Vietnamese durian include cadmium and auramine O, so both are tested on the lot. If you repack it as a retail drink powder, Chinese solid-beverage labelling also applies.
