Description
AFP Apple Aseptic Fruit Purée Concentrate is a high-fruit-solids ingredient developed for food and beverage manufacturers seeking intensified apple flavor and greater formulation flexibility.
Unlike single-strength Apple purée, which retains more of the fruit’s natural water and maintains a Brix closer to its natural range, apple purée concentrate is produced by removing a controlled portion of that water. The result is a more concentrated ingredient that delivers greater apple flavor and fruit solids per pound while retaining the fruit’s characteristic pulp, body, color, aroma, and texture.
Produced from carefully selected Mexican apples, primarily Golden Delicious, with Gala and Red varieties also used, this concentrate delivers a bright golden color, fresh apple aroma, and naturally sweet, smooth apple flavor.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose single-strength fruit purée when your formulation requires a natural, ready-to-use fruit profile with more of the fruit’s original water content, body, and Brix.
Choose Apple purée Concentrate when you need greater fruit flavor and fruit solids per pound, more control over the water introduced into your formulation, and less ingredient volume.
