Below are the stages of a typical fruit concentrate production line.
Fruit selection and preparation: Fruits are harvested at the ripening stage and washed if necessary. They are then cut, pitted and pureed.
Extracting the juice: The puree is usually pressed using a press or roller to extract the juice. The pressing process may vary depending on the type of fruit and the characteristics of the production line.
Concentration: The fruit juice obtained is made into a more concentrated product. This is done by removing the water from the fruit juice and evaporating the water using methods such as heat, pressure and vacuum.
Pasteurisation: The concentrated fruit juice is pasteurised to kill microorganisms. This process is carried out with temperature and time control.
Storage: The concentrated fruit juice is transferred to suitable containers or storage tanks for storage.
Packaging: Concentrated fruit juice is packaged, usually using aseptic packaging or filling methods. The packaging process may vary depending on the final use of the concentrated fruit juice.
Fruit concentrate production lines may vary depending on the type of fruit, production volume, and other factors. However, the above steps illustrate how a typical fruit concentrate production line generally operates.
The Advantages of Using a Homogeniser in Fruit Concentrate Production
Product quality: Homogenisation improves product quality in fruit concentrate production. Homogenisers break down fruit puree into smaller particles, giving the product a smoother texture and more homogeneous structure. This contributes to a higher quality and more pleasant taste in the final product.
Product stability: Homogenisation also increases the stability of fruit concentrate. Homogenisers break down oil droplets within the product into smaller particles, ensuring better distribution of the oil throughout the product. This increases the product’s shelf life.
Efficiency: Homogenisation increases efficiency in fruit concentrate production. Homogenisers enable easier processing of fruit puree broken down into smaller pieces and more efficient extraction of water.
Energy savings: Homogenisation saves energy in fruit concentrate production. Homogenisers consume less energy to process fruit puree, and energy consumption is reduced because less heating of the water is required.
Reduced waste: Homogenisation also reduces waste. Homogenisers enable better processing of fruit puree, allowing water to be extracted more efficiently and reducing waste.
For these reasons, the use of homogenisers in fruit concentrate production is quite widespread and preferred by many manufacturers.
The following steps are usually followed to prepare an aroma
Preparing the raw materials: First, the raw materials required for aroma production are prepared. The type of raw material may vary depending on the desired aroma. For example, lemon peel may be used for lemon aroma, and vanilla beans for vanilla aroma.
Extraction: Raw materials are usually extracted using a solvent (liquid). This helps to obtain the desired flavour by extracting the essence of the raw materials. The most commonly used solvents for extraction are organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol or hexane.
Concentration: The extraction process yields a solution obtained from the raw materials. This solution is then concentrated. This makes the flavouring agent more concentrated and easier to store. Concentration can be achieved by heating the solution under vacuum.
Mixing: The concentrated aroma substance is mixed with carrier agents (usually water). This gives the aroma substance a more homogeneous structure and makes it easier to use.
Filtering: The mixture undergoes a filtering process. This removes any residual matter remaining in the product and ensures that the final product is cleaner and purer.
Storage: The prepared flavouring is stored under appropriate conditions. These conditions may vary depending on the type and properties of the flavouring agent.
Industrial aroma production is used in many areas, particularly in the food and cosmetics industries. Industrially prepared aromas can be offered in powder, liquid or gel form and are available in many different flavours and scents.
