FOGT Organic Apple Juice Concentrate is a 70°±2° Brix clarified concentrate made entirely from organically grown apples, sourced from high-altitude orchards in Gansu Province, China — a region known for producing apples with naturally high sugar content, balanced acidity, and rich phenolic profiles.
Unlike generic fruit concentrates on the market, our organic apple juice concentrate goes through a tightly controlled production chain: hand-sorted raw fruit, enzyme-assisted pressing, ultrafiltration for crystal clarity, and multi-stage low-temperature vacuum evaporation that preserves the volatile aromatic compounds responsible for fresh-apple character. No added sugar. No preservatives. No synthetic processing aids. Just fruit, concentrated.
The result is an apple concentrate juice that performs consistently across industrial applications — from RTD beverage formulations to infant nutrition — while meeting the documentation standards that EU and North American buyers expect: full batch traceability, third-party lab reports, and organic transaction certificates with every shipment.
We serve a growing portfolio of organic fruit juice concentrates for B2B clients worldwide. Whether you are developing a clean-label juice blend, scaling a private-label organic line, or sourcing for large-scale food manufacturing, this product is built for your production reality — not a spec sheet fantasy.

Every batch of FOGT organic apple juice concentrate follows a tightly integrated four-stage process, from orchard to aseptic packaging. Each stage is designed to protect the fruit's natural character while meeting the microbiological and chemical purity standards shown in the specifications above.
Stage 1 — Sorting & Washing
Organically grown apples from Gansu orchards arrive at the facility within 24 hours of harvest. Each batch is hand-sorted to remove damaged or under-ripe fruit. High-pressure spray washing removes surface residues without chemical sanitizers. This first-stage quality gate is critical: only sound, fully ripened fruit enters the press, which directly contributes to the sub-1 ppb Patulin levels we achieve in every batch.
Stage 2 — Pressing & Enzymatic Treatment
Washed apples are crushed and pressed using a belt press system. A controlled enzymatic treatment (pectinase) breaks down fruit cell walls to maximize juice yield and release bound aromatic compounds. The raw juice is then clarified through a decanter centrifuge, removing pulp and insoluble solids. This stage preserves the fresh-apple volatile profile that distinguishes premium concentrate from commodity-grade product.
Stage 3 — Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporation & Ultrafiltration
The clarified juice enters a multi-effect vacuum evaporator operating at low temperature (≤55°C). Water is removed under reduced pressure until the target 70°±2° Brix concentration is reached. Critically, an integrated aroma recovery unit captures volatile flavor compounds during evaporation and reintroduces them into the concentrate — meaning the reconstituted juice retains the characteristic fresh-apple aroma rather than the "cooked" note common in high-heat concentration. Final ultrafiltration (membrane pore size ≤0.02 μm) delivers the crystal clarity of 98.6% at 625 nm without the need for fining agents or chemical clarification.
Stage 4 — Aseptic Filling & Quality Release
The 70°±2° Brix concentrate is sterilized via high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization and immediately filled into 275 kg food-grade buckets under aseptic conditions. Every batch undergoes a full quality release panel before shipment: Brix, acidity, pH, color, clarity, Patulin (HPLC), and a complete microbiological screen (bacteria, coliforms, mould & yeast, TAB — all verified <1). A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is compiled and shipped alongside the organic transaction certificates. The entire process — from apple arrival to sealed bucket — is completed within 36 hours to minimize oxidative degradation and preserve color stability (80.2% at 440 nm) over the full 24-month shelf life.
As an organic juice concentrate manufacturer with fully integrated production — from orchard partnerships to aseptic filling — FOGT controls quality at every stage. Here is what that means for your procurement:
· End-to-End Traceability: Every batch is traceable to specific orchard zones in Gansu. USDA NOP and EU Organic Transaction Certificates (TC) are provided as standard — no separate request needed.
· Aroma-Retention Processing: Multi-stage low-temperature vacuum evaporation with aroma recovery captures and reintroduces the volatile flavor compounds lost in conventional high-heat concentration. The result: reconstituted juice tastes like fresh-pressed apples, not cooked fruit.
· Baby-Food-Grade Protocol: We run a parallel production line for infant nutrition clients, with tightened controls on heavy metals, pesticide residues, and Patulin (≤1 ppb). Same product, stricter QA — at no premium for qualified volume buyers.
· Multi-Orchard Sourcing: We source from a network of certified organic orchards across multiple Gansu micro-regions (Jingning, Qin'an, Tianshui). If one zone has a difficult season, others compensate. Supply continuity is not a promise — it is engineered.
· Cold-Chain Integrity: Continuous temperature monitoring from filling to port. 0–4°C standard storage; -18°C option for long-haul shipments requiring premium color retention over the full 24-month shelf life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the reconstitution ratio for 70° Brix concentrate?
To reconstitute back to single-strength 100% juice (~11.5° Brix), dilute at approximately 1 part concentrate to 6.1 parts water by weight. Exact ratios depend on your target Brix. A technical reconstitution guide is included with every sample shipment.
Q2: How do you ensure flavor consistency across batches?
Two mechanisms: (1) multi-orchard blending — sourcing from multiple Gansu micro-regions smooths out seasonal variation; (2) aroma recovery during vacuum evaporation — volatile compounds captured during concentration are reintroduced, preserving the characteristic fresh-apple profile. Every batch is sensory-panel tested before release.
Q3: Is your concentrate allergen-free and non-GMO?
Yes. Our organic concentrate is 100% non-GMO and naturally free from common allergens including gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts. It meets clean-label requirements for all major markets.
Q4: What certifications do you hold and are they valid for EU import?
USDA NOP Organic, EU Organic (EU 2018/848 compliant), Kosher, Halal, ISO 9001, ISO 22000, and HACCP. All certifications are current and valid for EU and North American import. We provide digital copies during the qualification process — no NDAs required for certification review.
Q5: What is your MOQ and typical lead time?
Standard MOQ: 1 × 20ft FCL (80 buckets / 22 metric tons). Lead time: 25–35 days to European ports, 18–22 days to Middle East, 20–28 days to North American West Coast. For rush orders, partial-container LCL options are available at a freight premium. We recommend placing orders 6–8 weeks ahead of your production schedule to secure vessel space.
