Fruit juice concentrates are products obtained by concentrating the juice of fruits under specific temperature and vacuum conditions. During this process, the water content in the juice is evaporated, leaving behind a dense extract rich in color, taste, aroma, and nutrients.
Concentrates offer significant advantages in terms of transportation and storage. Since their volume is reduced compared to regular fruit juice, they have a longer shelf life. These features provide major logistical benefits in both industrial production and export operations.
At UPEK GIDA, our concentrates—derived from the Mediterranean’s abundant fruits such as orange, lemon, mandarin, pomegranate, and grapefruit—stand out for their 100% natural composition. We strictly avoid using artificial sweeteners, colorants, or preservatives in our production process. This allows us to deliver only the pure essence of nature to consumers.
Scientific studies show that fruit concentrates have high antioxidant capacity. Pomegranate and grapefruit concentrates, in particular, are rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, playing a key role in protecting cells by fighting free radicals.
Thanks to the aseptic filling technology used in UPEK GIDA’s production facilities, our products retain their freshness from day one. Our concentrates are stored under cold chain conditions at -18°C and safely delivered to customers worldwide.
Fruit juice concentrates are widely used not only in the beverage industry but also in ice cream, yogurt, baked goods, jams, and sauces. This versatility makes them an essential natural flavor source in food manufacturing.
In short, fruit juice concentrate is both a functional food ingredient and a technological product that brings natural components together with modern production. At UPEK GIDA, we aim for the highest quality standards and continue to offer healthy products while preserving nature.
