Fruit juice concentrate is a thick liquid made by removing most of the water from fresh fruit juice. This process intensifies the flavor and sweetness, making it easier to store and transport. Concentrates are often used in beverages, desserts, and sauces. To create fruit juice concentrate, the juice is heated to evaporate water, which reduces its volume significantly. This concentrated form can be reconstituted by adding water back in, allowing for easy use in recipes or as a drink. It retains many of the vitamins and nutrients found in fresh juice, making it a popular choice for consumers.
