2. Typical processed blueberry products:

1).NFC blueberry juices:

Widely referred to as a super food, blueberries are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that make them the perfect ingredient for drinks manufacturers developing natural, wholesome juices and smoothies.

 

Undergoing only minimal processing, NFC blueberry juices retain much of the fruit's impressive nutritional profile.

 

2).Blueberry purees:

Retain not just the deep rich colour and sweet juicy flavour of the fruit, but also much of the Blueberry's renowned nutritional goodness. This makes the purees ideal for food manufacturers seeking ingredients for smoothies, juices, bakery goods and healthy breakfast bars.

 

3). Blueberry concentrate juice:

An ideal ingredient for juice and smoothie manufacturers, it is made by removing a significant proportion of the fruit's water content to create a condensed, concentrated product much smaller in volume than a regular NFC juice.

 

The concentrate can then be transported and stored more easily and cost-effectively, before it is brought back to regular strength by mixing with water.

 

Despite the additional processing compared to an NFC or cold-pressed juice, blueberry concentrate still retains much of the berry's nutritional goodness – along with its distinct sweet flavour.

4.Description of Production Processes and Options

The production of juice, concentrate, pulp and puree requires different blueberry jam processing lines, as can be seen below.

 

First, blueberries are harvested. The berries are run through a blower/grader, which blows out the debris (leaves and sticks) and then run through the grader, which catches anything less than a quarter of an inch. There is a tilt belt; anything that rolls goes on and anything that will not roll is caught in the container and becomes the juice berries. These may be perfectly good berries and may be just attached by stems. There is generally one box for tiny berries and another box for normal berries that have stems on. The latter become juice berries.

 

To make juice, the next step is to press them. This can be done by either grinding them and then pressing them or just hydraulically pressing them. After that, the juice needs to be heated to 180 degrees to pasteurize it and then bottle it. It is also possible to pasteurize it without heating, but this would not necessarily be the process for a shelf-stable juice. There is also high pressure

pasteurization. At this point, the juice can be labeled or it can be blended with other types of juice. The juice can also be put into a container to be frozen or stored. Juice can stay frozen

indefinitely as long as it is solid.

 

For concentrate, the juice is heated and reduced. It can be freeze dried or direct heat or reverse osmosis can be used.

 

To process berries into pulp, a colloidal mill is the equipment to use. The mill is under high pressure and it pulverizes the berries into a fine pulp. It grinds the seeds and the skin. The berries would need to be sanitized before or after the berries are processed into pulp to prevent the presence of pathogens. This can be done by using a chlorine bath for the berries before processing into pulp or by heating the pulp afterward.
