Product Introduction
Apple juice concentrate (decolorized and deacidified) is a versatile ingredient derived from high-quality apples. This concentrated form retains the natural sweetness and flavor profile of apples, making it ideal for various applications in the food and beverage industry. The decolorization and deacidification processes enhance its usability by delivering a light color and balanced acidity, appealing to manufacturers and consumers alike. It can be utilized in juices, sauces, and bakery products, providing a consistent taste without overpowering other ingredients.
Production Process
The production of apple juice concentrate involves several key steps. Initially, fresh apples are washed and crushed to extract the juice. This juice is then subjected to filtration to remove impurities, followed by a concentration process where water is removed under low heat. In the decolorization stage, activated carbon or various natural processes are employed to lighten the juice's color without altering its flavor. Following this, the juice undergoes deacidification, often achieved through ion exchange or chemical neutralization, to lower its acidity levels. The final concentrate is then pasteurized to ensure safety and packaged for distribution.
