A method for producing a concentrate essentially free of high methoxyl gel, which comprises the steps of:
- (a) providing a feed juice;
- (b) concentrating the feed juice to a concentration of from about 65.degree. Brix to about 80.degree. Brix;
- and
- (c) subjecting the concentrated juice to a shear of sufficient force to prevent formation of high methoxyl gel in the concentrated juice.
A juice concentrate essentially free of high methoxyl gel having a concentration of from about 65.degree. Brix to about 80.degree. Brix containing no additive.
A juice concentrate essentially free of high methoxyl gel having a concentration of from about 65.degree. Brix and 80.degree. Bris, containing no additive, obtained by:
- (a) providing a feed juice;
- (b) concentrating the feed juice to a concentration of from about 65.degree. Brix to about 80.degree. Brix;
- and
- (c) subjecting the concentrated juice to a shear of sufficient force to prevent formation of high methoxyl gel in the juice concentrate.
