Production of Fruit and Vegetable Concentrates

Apple concentrate is one of the key fruit products in the VIN-KON S.A. product range. It is made from selected apples, which are thoroughly washed, sorted, crushed, pressed, clarified and concentrated.

In the production of apple concentrate at VIN-KON S.A., particular importance is attached to controlling the solids content, color, clarity and acidity. Apple is a highly versatile raw material, but it is also susceptible to oxidation and browning, which is why the process is conducted under strict technological supervision.

The VIN-KON S.A. laboratory tests each batch at individual production stages to ensure that the apple concentrate has stable parameters, a clean flavor, natural aroma and high industrial suitability. The product can be used in the production of juices, beverages, ciders, fruit wines, syrups, desserts, fillings and confectionery products.

Pear concentrate is made from ripe, aromatic pears. These fruits require delicate handling during the technological process. Pear is a subtle raw material with milder acidity and a more delicate flavor profile than apple, which is why VIN-KON S.A. places great emphasis on protecting its natural aroma.

The raw material is washed, sorted, crushed, subjected to technological processing, and then pressed, filtered and concentrated. Specialists monitor quality at every stage to obtain the appropriate physicochemical and sensory properties of the finished product.

Pear concentrate from VIN-KON S.A. is distinguished by its delicate aroma, natural sweetness and wide range of applications. It can be used in the production of beverages, nectars, perry, fruit wines, desserts, mousses, baby food products and fruit blends.

Cherry concentrate from VIN-KON S.A. is a product with an intense color, pronounced acidity and the distinctive taste of ripe cherries. Production begins with the careful selection, washing and sorting of the fruit, followed by preparation for pressing.

Cherries are a raw material requiring special attention, as it is essential to preserve their natural red pigments and fresh, fruity aroma. At VIN-KON S.A., the production process is carried out to minimize color and aroma loss and to obtain concentrate of consistent quality.

Cherry concentrate is tested for concentration, acidity, color, taste, aroma and stability. It can be used in the production of juices, beverages, syrups, fruit wines, desserts, ice cream, confectionery fillings and dairy products.

Blackcurrant concentrate from VIN-KON S.A. is a product with a very intense flavor, deep color and high technological value. Blackcurrants contain natural pigments, acids and aromatic compounds, which is why the process requires precise control.

The fruit is carefully cleaned, sorted and crushed, then processed to extract the juice and natural color. The product is subsequently pressed, filtered and concentrated. Particular attention is paid to preserving the dark purple color and typical blackcurrant aroma.

Chokeberry concentrate from VIN-KON S.A. is a product with an exceptionally intense color, a pronounced, slightly astringent taste and significant functional value. Chokeberry is a raw material rich in natural polyphenols and pigments, which is why the production process must be carried out with great care.

Chokeberries are washed, sorted, crushed, macerated, pressed, filtered and concentrated. Specialists control the process to obtain a deep color, characteristic taste and the appropriate concentration of soluble components.

Chokeberry concentrate from VIN-KON S.A. can be used in functional beverages, syrups, fruit wines, desserts and fruit teas, as well as a natural coloring component.

Plum concentrate from VIN-KON S.A. is made from ripe plums, which are washed, sorted, pitted, crushed and subjected to thermal treatment. Plums are rich in pulp, natural sugars and pectins, so the concentrate may have a thicker, more purée-like texture.

At VIN-KON S.A., temperature control during plum processing is particularly important. This helps avoid burnt notes, excessive caramelization or the loss of the fruit’s fresh character. The product is constantly tested for concentration, viscosity, colour, flavour and stability.

Plum concentrate from VIN-KON S.A. is suitable for the production of plum preserves, fillings, desserts, sauces, beverages, fruit wines and confectionery products.

Red beet concentrate is one of VIN-KON S.A.’s key vegetable products and one of the most important elements of its industrial offering. VIN-KON S.A. is one of Poland’s leading producers of red beet concentrate, accounting for nearly 10% of its domestic production.

VIN-KON S.A. owes this market position to a combination of experience, technological expertise, high-quality raw materials and continuous process control. Red beet is a demanding raw material. The value of the product is determined by its colour, concentration, flavour, stability and the absence of undesirable earthy notes.

The production of red beet concentrate at VIN-KON S.A. begins with thorough washing and cleaning of the raw material. Beetroot requires particular care because it may contain soil, sand and fine mineral impurities. The beets are then sorted, crushed, heated, pressed or subjected to extraction, filtered and concentrated.

At VIN-KON S.A., great importance is attached to protecting the beet’s natural, deep ruby-red colour. The concentration process is carried out in a way that limits the degradation of natural pigments while preserving the raw material’s characteristic flavour and aroma.

VIN-KON S.A.’s laboratory continuously monitors the concentrate’s concentration, colour, pH, acidity, viscosity, flavour, aroma and stability. As a result, red beet concentrate from VIN-KON S.A. is a product intended for customers seeking high quality, consistency and process safety.
