The juice
of the citrus fruits has been used in food and, even more so, in
drinks for many decades, and adds healthiness to our diet.
Mostly
famous for its vitamin C content, it is used as an ingredient in
various products such as natural fruit juices, soft drinks, cordials,
syrups, citrus flavoured water, ice creams, yogurts etc.
Lemon Juice Concentrate is also commonly used to ajust the acidity of other juices, in a completely natural way.
At Citromil
we produce both Single Strength Juices (NFC-Not From Concentrate)
and Juice Concentrates. The degree of concentration in citrus juices is
commonly measured in ºBrix, which reflects the percentage of
soluble solids in the product.
For Lemon
Juice Concentrate it is equally common to express the concentration in
GPL, Grams Per Litre, of natural Citric Acid,, especially when the
product will be used to acidify.
Just
squeezed natural Lemon Juice has approximately 7-8 ºBrix; orange
and clementine juice 11-12ºBx. This allows you to calculate,
more or less, how many times a juice has been concentrated, or how
much reconstituted single strength juice you can obtain.
