The changes in its demand in food and beverage industries, in addition to obtaining good quality strawberries along with its production prices, market prices, and logistics, directly influence industrial Strawberry Puree procurement globally.
Raw Material for Strawberry Puree Production
According to the Strawberry Puree production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Strawberry Puree include fresh strawberries-citric acid.
Manufacturing Process of Strawberry Puree
The extensive Strawberry Puree production cost report consists of the following major industrial production processes:
- From Fresh Strawberries and citric acid: The production of strawberry puree begins with fresh, ripe strawberries. The strawberries are washed and hulled to remove any impurities. After that, strawberries are blended into a smooth liquid. Citric acid is added to the blended strawberries to balance pH. After that, the puree is cooked to reduce excess liquid and concentrate the flavor. The puree is strained through a fine mesh sieve removing any seeds or fibres for a more refined texture. Finally, the strawberry puree is packaged and stored under appropriate conditions to preserve its natural color, aroma, and nutritional value.
Strawberry puree exhibits a total acidity between 0.85-2.2%, with a pH around 4.0. The sugar composition is sucrose, glucose, and fructose, and it may also be in the strawberry cultivar and ripeness stage. It is also a good source of vitamin C and contains phenols and anthocyanins, giving it a crimson or red color. The puree is uniform, homogeneous, and smooth in texture, with a strawberry aroma and flavor.
