Juice concentrate

In the production of fruit concentrates the natural content of water in the juice is being removed through vaporisation. The Brix will vary depending on the amount of water extracted.

The juice can also be concentrated through a special freeze method. The difference in temperature between the crystalisation of the water and solids in the juice makes it possible to concentrate the juice without the use of heat. This process enhances the flavour and the aroma in the concentrate, but also lenghten the concentration process at an added cost.
