Apple and raspberry juice concentrate

Apple and raspberry juice concentrate is a liquid ingredient obtained through the partial evaporation of water from natural apple and raspberry juice. This concentrate retains the characteristic sweet and fruity flavor of both fruits, along with their vibrant color and essential nutrients.

Apple and raspberry juice concentrate is commonly used in cooking and baking to add aroma, natural sweetness, and a fruity touch to sauces, desserts, beverages, and dressings. It is also highly valued for facilitating dosing and preserving the juice without losing quality.

This ingredient originates from the fruit processing industry, where fresh apples and raspberries are selected, washed, and pressed to extract their juice, which is then subjected to a concentration process through evaporation at low temperatures to preserve its properties.

In terms of properties, the concentrate maintains natural antioxidants such as vitamins C and A, as well as contributions of fiber and minerals present in the original fruits. It is a natural source of simple sugars, providing quick energy and sweet flavor without the need to add refined sugars.

In Latin America, this ingredient may have different names depending on the country. It is commonly known as apple and raspberry juice concentrate, although it can also be found under the terms apple and raspberry juice concentrate, concentrated apple and raspberry juice, or simply mixed fruit concentrate when it includes other fruits besides apple and raspberry.
