When it comes to fruit-based beverages, orange juice concentrate has earned a notable position in the global food and beverage industry. Known for its vibrant color, tangy-sweet taste, and abundance of nutrients, this form of orange juice is both versatile and convenient. At Thanh Cong Vina, we are proud to offer high-quality orange juice concentrate that captures the natural goodness of fresh oranges while maintaining strict food safety and quality standards.
In this article, we’ll explore what orange juice concentrate is, how it’s made, its benefits, applications, and why Thanh Cong Vina stands out in this competitive market.
What Is Orange Juice Concentrate?
Orange juice concentrate is a form of orange juice from which most of the water content has been removed. This is done through an evaporation process, which reduces the juice volume and allows for easier storage and transportation. Later, the concentrate can be reconstituted by adding water to produce orange juice with a similar taste and nutritional profile to fresh juice.
There are typically two types of concentrate:
-
Frozen concentrate: stored at low temperatures for preservation.
-
Liquid concentrate: stored in aseptic packaging at room temperature.
Thanh Cong Vina specializes in premium orange juice concentrate produced from carefully selected oranges to ensure rich flavor and consistent quality.
How Is Orange Juice Concentrate Made?
The production of orange juice concentrate is a sophisticated process that involves several steps to preserve flavor, nutrients, and freshness:
-
Harvesting: Fresh, ripe oranges are harvested from selected farms.
-
Washing and Sorting: The fruit is cleaned and sorted to remove any that do not meet quality standards.
-
Juicing: The oranges are squeezed to extract fresh juice.
-
Filtration: The juice is filtered to remove pulp and solids.
-
Evaporation: Using a vacuum evaporator, water is removed under low temperatures to maintain nutritional integrity.
-
Pasteurization: The concentrate is pasteurized to eliminate bacteria and extend shelf life.
-
Packaging: The final product is packed in hygienic, food-grade containers suitable for long-distance transportation.
At Thanh Cong Vina, every stage of this process is tightly controlled to meet international food safety standards such as HACCP, ISO, and FDA compliance.
