In today’s food and beverage industry, Lime Juice Concentrate is emerging as a premium, versatile ingredient—rich in flavor, natural acidity, and widely used across global markets. At Thanh Cong Vina, we transform freshly harvested limes into a potent, flavorful concentrate that delivers consistent quality, bright citrus notes, and nutritional benefits to food and drink manufacturers worldwide.
What Is Lime Juice Concentrate?
Lime Juice Concentrate is created by removing a portion of the water content from freshly squeezed lime juice, resulting in a more intense, stable liquid. Packed with natural acidity and bright citrus flavor, it is ideal for creating beverages, sauces, marinades, and dressings. Because it requires less storage space and offers greater shelf life, this product is preferred by food processors, drink mixers, and value‑added manufacturers.
Why Use Lime Juice Concentrate?
-
Flavor intensity: Offers a tart and refreshing lime flavor without the bulk.
-
Longer shelf life: Concentrate is more stable during transport and storage.
-
Cost efficiency: Reduced water weight means lower transportation and logistics costs.
-
Consistency: Each batch delivers uniform acidity and flavor profile.
-
Clean label: No artificial flavors, colorants, or sweeteners—pure, natural lime.
At Thanh Cong Vina, our lime juice concentrate captures the zesty essence of real limes, distilled into a high-quality product suitable for multiple applications.
Production Process: From Orchard to Concentrate
1. Premium Lime Sourcing
We select only fully ripened limes from reliable growers across Vietnam. These citrus fruits are chosen for high juice yield, consistent acidity, and rich aroma.
2. Washing and Sorting
Limes are thoroughly cleaned to remove debris and inspected to discard damaged or unripe fruits.
3. Juice Extraction
Using hygienic, controlled equipment, fresh lime juice is cold‑pressed to preserve enzymes and volatile oils.
4. Clarification
The juice is filtered to remove seeds, pulp, and sediment, producing a clear base ready for concentration.
5. Vacuum Evaporation
Water is gently removed under a vacuum, minimizing heat damage and preserving scent, flavor, and vitamin C content.
6. Pasteurization and Packing
The concentrated juice is heat‑treated and aseptically filled into drums or bag‑in‑box systems, maintaining freshness and preventing spoilage.
Nutritional and Functional Benefits
While concentration reduces volume, key nutrients and benefits remain intact:
-
High in vitamin C: Supports immune health and antioxidant protection.
-
Natural citric acid: Acts as a preservative and acidity regulator in recipes.
-
Low-calorie and fat-free: Ideal for health-focused beverages and sauces.
-
Refreshing aroma and taste: Adds bright lift to drinks, marinades, and desserts.
This clean, nutrient-rich product enhances nutritional claims and simplifies flavor formulation for modern consumers.
