Lime products are fruit-derived ingredients used in industrial food and beverage manufacturing to provide distinctive citrus flavour, refreshing acidity, aromatic intensity and natural fruit solids. Their characteristic tartness and fresh citrus profile make lime ingredients particularly suitable for beverages, sauces, dressings, confectionery and innovative food formulations.
Lime Juice Concentrates, Comminuted Lime and Deionized Options
Lime juice concentrate is suitable for formulations requiring a recognisable lime flavour, pronounced acidity and a refreshing citrus profile. It is widely used in juices, soft drinks, flavoured waters, functional beverages, cocktails, confectionery and savoury applications. Comminuted lime incorporates juice and finely processed fruit components, including peel, to deliver a more complex whole-fruit citrus character with intense aromatic notes and characteristic bitterness. Deionized lime concentrate provides fruit-derived sugars with a more neutral flavour profile and reduced acidity, making it suitable for formulations where sweetness and soluble solids are required without a pronounced lime taste.

Selecting the most suitable lime ingredient depends on the finished product's target Brix, acidity, flavour intensity, colour, pulp requirements and processing conditions.
