Fruit pulp extraction

As a natural product, sorting by quality control for ripeness and removal of foreign bodies is vital, and grading by appearance is important to the end user. Fresh fruits, like berries, can be frozen as such, or further processed into purees and concentrate.

The production steps and technology to process fruit pulp depend on the fruit type, scale of production, and desired end product. Typically fruits, such as grapes, are first washed, sorted, and inspected. Afterward, they are peeled and chopped or cut into pieces. Finally, the pulp or fruit juice is extracted, sieved, beat via rotation, and refined to create a more delicate pulp. The pulp can be pasteurized, homogenized, or further concentrated. Some manufacturers will process the seeds to be removed or extracted from the pulp. Whilst others keep the seeds in the pulp depending on what the end fruit pulp product will be.

The most common types of fruits used for making fruit pulp products include apple pear, strawberries, mango pulp, pineapple, peach, and guava.

Preserve and pack your fruit products

Aseptic processing is a technique where thermally sterilized liquid products are packaged into previously sterilized containers under sterile conditions to produce shelf-stable products that do not need refrigeration. With a Hot-fill solution, a sterilized sauce will be filled in non-sterile packaging. Only high-acid products can go without refrigeration. Another technique would be retort processing where non-sterile products are filled into non-sterile packaging and sterilized in an autoclave with pressurized steam.

Are you looking for a bulk solution to fill into large aseptic drums or containers? Or would you like to fill into containers, bottles, jars, cans, pouches, or even sachets? You need to make sure to keep your sauce safe and fresh from fill through end use. From small-scale stainless steel autoclaves for jars to high-speed aseptic pouch filling, there is enough choice for every product and production scale.
