Among the causes of the low quality of grape juice concentrate<\/a><\/strong> is its adulteration through the inclusion of ingredients or compounds such as exogenous sugars, water, colorants, aromas, etc. How to choose an authentic grape juice? <\/strong>For you to be sure of the high quality of the product you buy, we explain all the factors that affect the quality of grape juice concentrate in this post, what parameters indicate a possible adulteration and what processes a good supplier of 100% authentic grape juice concentrate must comply with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grape juice concentrate quality<\/strong> is made up of a complex set of factors and interactions<\/strong> that intervene in each of the production processes. From vineyard management to the techniques and technologies used in the processing plant. Mainly, it is the quality of the grapes that has a significant impact on the quality of the grape juice concentrate. Therefore, the practices that are part of the cultivation process to obtain healthy and fresh fruit, such as maintaining the balance of the vine, exposing the fruit or avoiding water stress, also affect the quality of the grape juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But we also achieve this with other variables that affect the quality of this product<\/strong>, such as climate, soil and grape variety<\/strong><\/a>. For example, grape acidity decreases throughout the ripening cycle. In a cold climate, grapes with a high level of acidity can be obtained. But in warm climates this acidity of the fruit will be reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The authenticity of a grape juice concentrate sample can be detected through:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The main physical\/chemical parameters<\/strong> that can indicate a possible adulteration<\/strong> of the grape juice concentrate are basically the acidity, the formaldehyde index and the conductivity of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The formaldehyde index<\/strong> or formaldehyde number is one of the chemical parameters used to evaluate the quality or authenticity of the grape juice concentrate. Exactly, it indicates the content of amino acids present in the grape juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another chemical parameter that can be quickly measured is acidity. In grape juice the major acids are tartaric acid<\/strong> and malic acid<\/strong>, although it also contains other acids in smaller quantities, such as citric acid. The sum of all these values determines the acidity level of the grape juice concentrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thermal conductivity<\/strong> is one of the physical properties that helps determine the authenticity of the grape juice concentrate. It is influenced by the sugar concentrations in the juice and is closely related to the sensory characteristics of the juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the physical\/chemical parameters, there are phases of the grape juice concentrate production process that allow us to infer the quality of the product<\/strong>. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In grape juice concentrate production, the quality of the raw material<\/strong> is fundamental. This translates into the effective control that the supplier must maintain over the actions, techniques, technology and equipment used both in the vineyard (cultivation and harvesting processes) and in the processes of delivery and physical\/chemical analysis of the grapes. Including the selection of the soil and the ideal grape variety to achieve a high value final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The grape juice concentrate production process must integrate the appropriate technology<\/strong> that allows the production of grape juice without losing its qualities and maintaining traceability controls. For example, adopting state-of-the-art systems and equipment for juice analysis, comprehensive information systems that provide accurate data and programs for process quality control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traceability<\/strong> is essential to obtain an authentic grape juice concentrate. Knowing the history of the raw material and the location of the product at each stage of the process is essential to guarantee both the quality of the grape juice concentrate and its safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So that you can be completely sure of the quality of the product you buy, here are 5 keys to help you choose a supplier of 100% authentic grape juice. A good grape juice concentrate producer should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Julian Soler<\/strong> we produce 100% authentic grape juice concentrates, with no additives, no allergens, no preservatives and under a unique process we call Nothing But Grapes, in order to deliver you grapes and nothing else.
