Water extraction of solids, pigments and cloud material remaining in peels after juice recovery and subsequent application of different technological steps make possible to obtain from a mixtures of fruit pieces dispersed in water, concentrated bases from 50°Bx to 60°Bx with very low pulp content, very cloud, not excessively bitter and exceptionally stable that for several decades have been specialties of Mediterranean basin citrus processing companies, mainly from Israel and Italy. Those productions have been a driving sector of business for European soft drinks industry making possible utilization of low juice content formulations with high color yield and optimal stability.
Moreover extraction yield increase made possible a better financial management to citrus processing companies. From a long time, these products are almost inexpensive mainly due to concurrent starting availability of similar products from extra-European big producers.
Citrech intend, using its deep knowledge and on-field experiences, to move on improvements and cutting costs, where possible. One of chances is to start from already exploited peels, avoiding excessive concentration on bitter components, obtaining the chance to avoiding the debittering costs, minimizing dilutions recovering weak liquors and saving money on technological adjuvant.
