From the popular \u201cpetimezi\u201d, the grape syrup used as a sweetener in ancient Greece, to the versatile \u201cdefrutum\u201d, the thick grape juice used to sweeten or preserve fruits and meats in ancient Roman cuisine, grape concentrate has become a highly valued ingredient in food and beverage production. Today, this product is revolutionizing the food industry, because it offers endless advantages for manufacturers seeking quality and innovation. In this post we discover how concentrated grape juice can transform the production processes<\/strong> of food companies and how it can help meet the demands of the most demanding consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a market increasingly oriented towards healthy, natural and indulgent products, grape must concentrate<\/a><\/strong> represents a multi-benefit option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grape juice concentrate stands out for preserving the natural properties and nutrients of the fruit. It is the natural juice extracted from fresh pressed grapes and from which water is partially removed by a vacuum evaporation process. A method that is carried out under controlled conditions of pressure and temperature, to ensure that the concentrated grape juice retains the multiple nutrients and the attractive sensory profile<\/strong> (color, sweetness, acidity, aroma, astringency\u2026) of the fresh juice, as well as the natural properties of the fruit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, provided it is stored properly, concentrated grape juice has a longer shelf life than non-concentrated NFC juice. During the concentration process, as its water content is reduced, microbial growth is also inhibited. This shelf life is a valuable advantage for producers who require a constant supply of grape juice, allowing them to keep a high quality juice concentrate in stock for long periods of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the main challenges in the food industry is to ensure operational continuity in the production line. In this area, concentrated grape juice represents one of the main solutions, as it can be purchased and stored 365 days a year. What advantages does this availability represent for producers? It allows them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, to ensure the high quality of grape concentrate throughout the year, food companies must partner with grape concentrate suppliers that have the equipment and advanced technology for storage. Specifically, they must employ state-of-the-art refrigeration and\/or freezing systems<\/strong>, so that the concentrated grape juice is kept at optimal temperatures and preserves all its organoleptic and nutritional properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At JUI\u00c1N SOLER<\/strong> Soler we have a unique production process to obtain a 100% authentic grape juice concentrate, allowing us to maintain the colors, acids and natural sugars of the grape, without preservatives or additives. We use state-of-the-art refrigeration and freezing methods for the storage of our product, which allows us to preserve the nutrients and, especially, the high color intensity of the red must concentrate throughout the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n As explained above, in the concentration process, a large percentage of the water it contains is extracted from the grape juice. In this procedure, the juice undergoes a reduction of its total volume, obtaining a grape concentrate with only \u2153 of the original volume, and without losing the flavor or the characteristic properties of the fruit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
