Citrus grades provide lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit and related profiles with varying acidity, aroma and peel character. Available catalogue formats should be compared individually: a juice concentrate, puree, preparation or specialist ingredient may have a different composition and handling profile. The family groups ingredients for commercial navigation; it does not mean that every listed product is interchangeable in a recipe.
Citrus Candies Supplier & Distributor
Fruit concentrates and related grades can supply fruit character and soluble solids, while selected sweeteners or fiber ingredients may have a separate formulation role. The appropriate format depends on whether the ingredient enters the cooked mass, a centre or a surface component.
For hard-boiled systems, evaluate the contribution of water, acidity and sugars to the cooking and cooling sequence. For chewy products, consider consistency, stickiness and the interaction with the structural ingredients. Additions made late in the process need their own mixing and temperature assessment.
Compare soluble solids, acidity and peel intensity, including bitterness at the intended dosage. Citrus aroma and colour should be assessed after the actual heat treatment and storage cycle.
Trials should follow the actual cooking, forming and wrapping process. Compare flavour retention, colour and texture after cooling, then monitor moisture uptake and surface tack in the proposed packaging. A grade that works in a soft centre may need a different inclusion rate or format in a hard candy.
As a supplier and distributor, MAK Food Company works from the relevant flavour, solids and processing parameters to identify catalogue options for technical evaluation. Confirm the selected grade's composition, packing, storage and handling instructions against its specification. Origin, availability and delivery arrangements are agreed for the specific product and order. A useful candy brief identifies the confectionery type, addition stage and finished texture before the ingredient grade is selected.
