Freeze concentrated apple juice maintains its flavor
Abstract Concentrated juices are sources of alcoholic drinks. Juice concentration may be achieved using different methods, such as freezing or heating. High temperatures in the process of juice concentration damage heat-sensitive components, such as aromatic compounds. Although the freezing process...

Abstract Concentrated juices are sources of alcoholic drinks. Juice concentration may be achieved using different methods, such as freezing or heating.
