Not From Concentrate (NFC) is squeezed, pasteurized and filtered juice, filled into aseptic storage where the oxygen is stripped from the product. Alternatively, the juice can be frozen immediately after processing and kept for more than a year.

Product Brix % pH Value Acidity Ratio
Mango 14 -16 3.7 - 4.10 ≤ 0.80 ≥ 17.5
Guava 7 - 9 3.90 - 4.30 ≤ 0.32 ≥ 21.8
Strawberry 7 - 9 3.50 - 3.90 ≤ 0.80 ≥ 8.75

Fruit Concentrates

null

Concentrated juice is useful because it extends the shelf life of the juice and makes storage and shipping more economical. Juice is concentrated in an evaporator which uses steam to heat the juice under vacuum and to force water evaporation.

Product Brix % pH Value Acidity Ratio
Orange 63 - 65 3.30 - 3.70 0.72 - 1.0 11 - 15
Pomegranate 63 - 65 2.60 - 3.70 4.2 - 6.5 9.7 - 15.5
