Juice and fruit beverage questions

Should we use fresh fruit, pulp or concentrate?

Each changes cost, equipment and seasonality. Most plants use pulp or concentrate for year-round supply. We compare options for your product.

How is shelf life decided?

By formulation, processing, packaging and hygiene together. We plan them as one system and validate during trials.

Which approvals apply?

FSSAI-related licensing, product standards and labelling rules apply. We verify the current requirements for your product category.

Can juices and fruit drinks share a line?

Often, yes. Shared processing and filling work well when changeovers and cleaning are planned properly.
