Applications for the juice and functional beverages industry

Natural grape ingredient for juice and functional beverage formulations that require natural sweetness, a stable sensory profile, colour control and batch-to-batch consistency.

Grape juice concentrate and NFC are functional ingredients used in the beverage and juice industry because of their natural origin, formulation versatility and stable behaviour in process.

At JULIAN SOLER, we develop grape solutions adapted to the technical, sensory and production requirements of each application in juices, fruit blends, soft drinks and functional beverages.
