Frozen apple juice concentrate is a liquid ingredient obtained by extracting and subsequently concentrating pure apple juice, which is frozen to preserve its freshness and natural properties. This concentrate maintains the sweet and characteristic flavor of apple, providing a natural and fruity touch to various cooking recipes, from desserts to dressings and marinades.
Apple juice concentrate has its origin in the fruit industry, especially in regions with high apple production such as the United States, Chile, and Spain. Concentration is carried out to reduce the volume of the juice, facilitating its storage and transport without losing quality or flavor. Freezing helps keep nutrients intact and prevents fermentation or the proliferation of microorganisms.
Regarding its properties, this concentrate is rich in natural sugars, primarily fructose and glucose, which provide quick energy. Furthermore, it contains antioxidants, vitamins (such as vitamin C), and essential minerals that contribute to overall health. It is an ideal natural sweetener for recipes seeking to avoid processed or refined sugars.
In different Hispanic American countries, apple juice concentrate may have various names, although there is no exact universal synonym. Some terms used are cold apple juice concentrate or simply apple concentrate. In some cooking contexts, it may also be found as concentrated apple syrup, although the latter usually has a more viscous consistency.
