Product classification:

JUICE "fresh" : juice squeezed, using fresh fruit. Juices of such kind are not subject to further treatment and, therefore, are recommended to be consumed within 20 minutes after their preparation.

Recovered JUICE : juices of this type are produced by adding drinking water that was properly treated to natural concentrated juices. The fruit component contained in such juice is 100 %.

NECTAR is produced by mixing up juice or mashed juice with sugar syrup or honey. The fruit component content in nectars may differ but should be at least 25 %.

FRUIT WATER is made of juice concentrate (concentrated juice), to which beverage water, sugar, coloring agents, aromatics and food acids should be added. The content of fruit component in fruit water should not be below 18 %.

Juice BEVERAGE is produced of juice concentrate (concentrated juice), by adding up to it beverage water, sugar, coloring agents, aromatics, food acids and other food supplements, such as vitamins and trace elements. The minimum fruit component content should be 10 %.

CONCENTRATED JUICE (concentrate). A certain portion of fruit water should be extracted from raw juices with aromatic agents being retained therein. As a result, juice concentrates retain the maximum quantity of beneficial substances, while juices and nectars recovered from concentrates are not behind similar products made of fresh raw materials, as far as their taste and scent are concerned.

Benefits of fruit nectars

High food and nutritive value is an attribute of nectars.

Not every juice may be consumed in the consistency of 100 %. Thus, for example, it is hardly possible to drink pure juices made of certain varieties of sour fruit (such as kiwi or plum). Some wholly pulped fruit would appear as a dense mass (for example, banana juices) impossible to consume due to its consistency and very thick taste.

Therefore, nectars combine in the optimum way the fruit component and syrup, thus, providing for normalization of sugar-acid ratio and harmonization of taste. Pulpy nectars are regarded as the most beneficial beverages. Unlike clear products, mash is made by pulping the eatable portion of whole fruit and is not concentrated. The characteristic features of such nectars are excellent taste, rich color and aroma. They contain a larger quantity of vitamins, minerals, pectins, fruit-hair fibers and natural pigments.

Advantageous features of our products

  • The products are only made of high-quality raw materials with no preservatives being used.
  • Packages are filled by the aseptic filling method, which may be described as follows: sterile juice under sterile conditions into sterile packages.
  • The products undergo the "instantaneous" sterilization process during 20 seconds. This means that detrimental microflora causing spoilage of juice will die, while vitamin-mineral complexes will not decay during such short period of time. Therefore, taste, color and aroma, as well as contents of vitamins and other beneficial substances are maintained to the maximum possible degree.
  • SIG Rombibloc carton packages provide for the best possible protection against sun-ray effects, thus contributing to preservation of vitamins in the products, which is not the case with regard to plastic packages.
  • The package design and marking data provide consumers with the complete and reliable information of the product and its components.
