Our LCOE528 100% Orange Citrus Concentrate is a premium natural product made from carefully selected Spanish oranges, renowned for their superior quality and flavor. The process used to create this concentrate leverages every part of the fruit, from the outer peel to the juicy pulp, ensuring that each essential component contributes to a balanced, flavorful final product.

Maximizing Every Part of the Citrus Fruit

The concentrate is obtained through a meticulous process that extracts and combines three key parts of the citrus: the flavedo, the albedo, and the endocarp. Each of these layers plays a crucial role in the final product.

1. Flavedo (Flavors & Essential Oils)
   The flavedo is the outermost layer of the citrus peel, where essential oils are concentrated. These oils are responsible for the fresh, vibrant aroma that characterizes citrus fruits, adding a unique dimension to both the flavor and fragrance of the concentrate. The essential oils also impart a slight bitterness that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of the fruit.
2. Albedo (Citrus Fiber)
   The next layer, the albedo, is rich in natural fiber. This layer is crucial not only for its nutritional benefits but also because it contributes to the concentrate’s texture. The albedo is what gives the product its characteristic cloudy appearance, meaning that it retains some of the fruit’s natural fibers, resulting in an unfiltered, authentic citrus experience.
3. Endocarp (Juice & Pulp Cells)
   The endocarp is the innermost layer, containing the juice-filled cells that hold the majority of the fruit’s fresh flavor. This part provides the liquid base for the concentrate, containing the natural sugars and acids that define the final product’s taste profile. The combination of juice and pulp cells ensures that the concentrate preserves the full, authentic flavor of freshly squeezed fruit.
