FRUIT PULP

Product Description

What is Fruit Pulp?

• Fruit pulp is essentially the fleshy, soft part of the fruit that has been separated from the skin, seeds, and core.
• It's a mass of pressed fresh fruit, often processed to extend its shelf life and make it easier to use in various applications.
• Fruit pulp retains both the juice and the fibrous matter of the fruit.

Processing and Types:

Fruit pulp can undergo different processing methods, which affect its characteristics and uses:

• Fresh Frozen Pulp:
  • Made from high-quality, hand-sorted fruit.
  • Pulp is typically pH stabilized and sugar levels may be adjusted.
  • It retains the closest aroma, flavor, and color to the fresh fruit.
  • Stored frozen and used within a few days of defrosting.
• Pasteurized Pulp:
  • Fruit is pulped and heated to destroy organisms that may cause spoilage.
  • It has a longer shelf life than fresh frozen pulp.
  • Flavor and aroma may be slightly flatter, and color may be darker due to heating.
• Aseptic Pulp:
  • Fruit is rapidly heated and cooled, then packed into sterilized packaging.
  • It has a long shelf life at ambient temperatures.
  • Aroma is indistinct, flavor is flatter, and color is darker due to processing.
• Concentrate:
  • Pulp is depectinized, filtered, and reduced to form a concentrate.
  • It's the most concentrated form of fruit pulp.
  • Flavor and texture are significantly different from the original fruit.
