Fruit concentrate is a strong and adaptable product that is made by removing water from fruit juices and leaving behind a concentrated version of the original liquid. Through this procedure, a large amount of the fruit's water content is eliminated, enhancing the fruit's sweetness and flavor. Fruit concentrate is a useful ingredient in a variety of food and beverage applications because it provides a concentrated supply of the natural sugars, vitamins, and minerals present in the original fruit. Its high sugar content prolongs the shelf life of products it's employed in by acting as a natural preservative.
