Cherry Fruit Concentrate is a concentrated cherry-based ingredient developed for industrial food and beverage formulations. It provides cherry flavour, fruit solids, colour and naturally occurring sugars in a format suitable for controlled dosage and blending

Sweet cherry concentrate generally has a rounder, sweeter flavour and lower perceived acidity. Sour cherry concentrate delivers a sharper, more acidic profile and is frequently selected for beverages, confectionery and formulations requiring a stronger contrast between sweetness and tartness.

Commercial sweet and sour cherry concentrates are commonly available at approximately 65–68 °Brix, although the exact specification depends on the variety, grade and manufacturing process. Brix should be evaluated together with acidity, pH and colour intensity.

It can be used in fruit juices, nectars, soft drinks, smoothies, dairy products, plant-based beverages, confectionery, bakery fillings, jams, sauces, desserts, ice cream, syrups and fruit preparations.

Manufacturers should confirm the cherry variety, Brix, acidity, pH, colour intensity, flavour profile, clarity, microbiological parameters, storage conditions and shelf life. Testing in the final formulation is recommended to establish the correct dosage and sweetness-acidity balance.
