What is apple juice concentrate? How is it done? How is it different from apple juice?

Concentrated apple juice has less water content than other apple juices.

Process flow: raw materials → fruit washing → washing → crushing → juicing → clarification → sterilization → concentration → filling → finished product.

1. Differences in production

Concentrated juice is a 100% juice product produced from concentrated juice and water; while apple juice is made by washing the fresh fruit and squeezing it out. , canned directly after instant sterilization (without concentration and recovery), which is what consumers usually understand as "freshly squeezed juice".

2. Differences in preservation

Apple juice retains most of the pulp and the aroma of fresh fruit, but they have not undergone any form of sterilization and are particularly susceptible to oxidation (discoloration) and deterioration. , it’s best to squeeze it and drink it now. You can’t drink it overnight, and it won’t be on the shelves of supermarkets/convenience stores at all. Apple juice concentrate has a longer shelf life.

3. Differences in nutritional value

Pure freshly squeezed juice means that the fruit is directly squeezed, filtered, and sterilized in a fresh and complete state, and then poured directly into the vacuum sterile environment. The packed fruit puree completely retains natural nutrients and is therefore rich in nutrients. During the high-temperature purification process of concentrated juice, the original water of the fruit is evaporated, the nutritional molecules of the fruit are destroyed, and some or even most of the nutrients are lost, so the nutritional value is not high.
