FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fruit concentrate, NFC juice, and fruit puree?

- Fruit concentrate is produced by removing water from juice to increase Brix and reduce volume for transport and storage.
- NFC (Not From Concentrate) juice is obtained by pressing fresh fruit and pasteurizing it without concentration, preserving a fresher taste profile.
- Fruit puree is made by mechanically processing whole fruit (including pulp) into a thick, homogeneous product, commonly used in dairy, bakery, and baby food applications.

Which product is better for industrial beverage manufacturing?

It depends on the formulation and logistics requirements:

- Concentrates → cost-efficient, stable, ideal for large-scale beverage production
- NFC juices → premium positioning, better sensory profile
- Purees → texture and body, used in smoothies and functional drinks

What does Brix mean in fruit products?

What does Brix mean in fruit products?

- Brix (°Bx) measures the soluble solids content, primarily sugars, in a fruit product.
- It is a key parameter used to standardize concentrates and juices for consistent formulation in industrial applications.
- Higher Brix = higher concentration.

What is aseptic packaging and why is it important?

Aseptic packaging is a sterile filling process that allows fruit products to be stored at ambient temperature without preservatives.

Key advantages:

- Extended shelf life (up to 12–24 months)
- No need for cold chain
- Reduced logistics costs

It is the standard format for industrial fruit ingredients such as concentrates, purees, and NFC juices.

What industries use fruit concentrates and purees?

Fruit ingredients are widely used across multiple sectors:

- Beverage industry (juices, soft drinks, functional beverages)
- Dairy (yogurts, flavored milk, desserts)
- Bakery and confectionery
- Ice cream and frozen desserts
- Baby food and nutrition

How do you ensure quality and traceability in fruit ingredients?

Quality and traceability are ensured through:

- Certified raw material sourcing
- Controlled processing conditions
- Batch traceability systems
- Compliance with international food safety standards (e.g., HACCP, ISO)

This guarantees consistency across industrial batches.

What are comminuted fruit products?

Comminuted products are thick, aseptic fruit preparations obtained by crushing and processing fruit into a semi-solid form.

They are typically used in:

- Yogurts
- Fillings
- Dessert preparations

They provide both flavor and texture.

What are fruit compounds in the beverage industry?

Fruit compounds are customized blends of:

- Fruit juices or concentrates
- Flavors
- Sweeteners
- Stabilizers

They are designed to simplify beverage production by delivering a ready-to-use formulation.

What is the shelf life of fruit concentrates and NFC juices?

Typical shelf life:

- Aseptic concentrates → 12–24 months
- NFC juices (aseptic) → 9–18 months
- Frozen products → up to 24 months

Shelf life depends on storage conditions and packaging format.

Can fruit ingredients be customized for industrial applications?

Yes. Most suppliers offer tailor-made solutions, including:

- Specific Brix levels
- Acidity adjustments
- Blends of different fruits
- Functional formulations

Customization is essential for matching final product specifications.

What is the difference between pulp, cells, and puree?

- Pulp → fibrous material from juice extraction
- Cells → intact juice vesicles (common in citrus)
- Puree → fully homogenized fruit mass

Each provides different texture and sensory effects.

What are deionized fruit products?

Deionized fruit products are processed to remove mineral salts and ionic compounds.

They are used in:

- Clear beverages
- Functional drinks
- Applications requiring neutral taste profiles
