Apple Juice Concentrate is the concentrated apple juice obtained after the concentration, generally concentrated times for 7 times, the concentrated apple juice with water to reduce is apple juice. The two solids and acidity are not the same.
(1) juice production: juice production must be selected mature, sound, high-quality apple raw materials to produce high-quality apple juice concentrate.
(2)Aromatic material recovery: the juice to remove turbidity, heated by the heat exchanger pumped into the aromatic material recovery device, aromatic material with the evaporation of water together with the escape. In general, the aromatic material recovery to the juice water evaporation of 15%, the concentration of apple aromatic material concentrate for 1:150 when the best.
Apple Juice Concentrate Related Note
The difference between apple juice concentrate and apple juice is certainly there, because the concentrated type of apple juice, it is the content of the concentration of the higher and apple juice content of 11 or other elements, certainly he is in the content of not as high as his.
Concentrated apple juice, compared to other apple juice, less water content. Juice production must choose mature, sound, high-quality apple raw materials to create a high-quality apple juice concentrate. The main components of apple aromatic material concentrate are carbonyl compounds, such as vinyl aldehyde and acetaldehyde, which are 520 to 1500 mg/liter in 1:150 concentrate, while the ester-containing amount is only 190 to 890 mg/liter, and the free acid content is only 70 to 620 mg/liter.
High-quality aromatics concentrate has an ethanol content of ≤2. 5%. The evaporation time of the apple juice concentration equipment is usually a few seconds or minutes, the evaporation temperature is usually 55 to 60 ℃, some concentration equipment evaporation temperature as low as 30 ℃. In such a short time and such a low evaporation temperature, will not produce so that the product composition and sensory quality of unfavorable changes. If the evaporation time of the concentration equipment is too long or the evaporation temperature is too high, the apple juice concentrate will be discolored and tasteless due to the appearance of sucrose caramelization and other reaction products.
