Concentrated apple juice prepared by concentrating unfermented juice of clear, mature, sound apples or apple parts.

A BRIEF LOOK AT APPLE CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION:

1st-Sorting:
Apples are sorted before putting for washing.

1st-Washing:
Fully ripened, firm and sound apples are first washed in washer for elimination of mud, leaves and other foreign particles.

2nd-Sorting:
After washing, apples are again sorted on the sorting conveyor where decayed parts are trimmed off with the sharp knives.

2nd-Washing:
Sorted apples then pass through a brusher, where rotating nylon brushes remove all external impurities and at the same time shower washing makes Apple perfectly clean.

Milling:
By means of an elevator, apples are fed into the milling tank to prepare mesh.

Pre-Heating:
Heat treatment is given to the mesh to facilitate juice extraction.

Belt Press:
Meshed pulp is then pressed for juice extraction.

Pasturization:
Heat treatment is given to the mesh to minimize microbial load & control enzymatic activities.

Calrification:
This process is done for the removal of Pectin and starch from the mesh.

Vaccum Filteration:
Calified juice is filtered for any particle present.

Ultra Filtration:
Micro particles are removed to obtain highly calrified apple juice.

Evaporation:
This is done for the removal of water content from the juice to get concentrate.

Deairation:
The concentrate is transferred to the deairator for the removal of air.

Sterilization:
The concentrate is then treated with thermal-shock in the Sterilizer where almost all the microorganisms get killed and a state of complete sterility is achieved. Following the application of heat, the product is immediately cooled down to prevent any kind of browning reactions.

Aseptic Filling:
The cool and sterilized Apple concentrate now enters in to the highly sophisticated aseptic filler where it is filled in 270 kg 2 layer aseptic bag packed in steel drum.
