Description

Orange juice concentrate is a liquid ingredient obtained from fresh orange juice that has had most of its water removed through a controlled evaporation process. This process helps preserve the natural flavor, aroma, and nutrients of the orange, concentrating them into a reduced volume, which facilitates storage and transportation.

Origin: Orange juice concentrate is primarily produced in regions with abundant orange harvests, such as Brazil, the United States (Florida and California), Mexico, and some Mediterranean countries. It is widely used in the food industry and in cooking recipes due to its versatility and ability to provide an intense orange flavor.

Properties: This concentrate retains much of the vitamins and minerals found in fresh juice, especially vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids. It is also a natural source of sugars and provides a characteristic sweet and citrusy taste. In cooking, it is used to enhance desserts, sauces, dressings, beverages, and marinades, adding a concentrated acidic and aromatic touch.

Synonyms in Latin American countries: concentrado de jugo de naranja may also be referred to as jugo de naranja concentrado, concentrado cítrico de naranja, or simply concentrado de naranja. In some regions, it is common to call this product néctar concentrado de naranja, although it is important to distinguish it from traditional nectar, which usually contains added sugars and has a lower fruit concentration.
