Description
Figs are a sweet and juicy fruit that come from the ficus tree. They have a unique texture and flavour that makes them a popular ingredient in many different types of foods and beverages. Figs are packed with a variety of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, calcium, iron, and vitamin K. They are also high in fibre, making them an excellent choice for maintaining digestive health.
Our fig concentrate is made from 100% pure fig juice that has been carefully extracted from the ripest figs. It is a rich, dark liquid with a distinct, fruity aroma and a sweet, tangy flavour.
Our fig concentrate is perfect for use in a wide range of applications, including baked goods, sauces, and beverages. It can be used as a flavouring agent in ice cream, yogurt, and smoothies, or as a natural sweetener in teas and juices. It is also a great ingredient for marinades and dressings, adding a unique and delicious flavour to any dish.
Our fig concentrate is generally available and packed in 25kg aseptic bags-in-boxes. We however offer a range of packaging sizes to accommodate your volume requirements, with no minimum order quantity.

Glossary
Aseptic Concentrate
Concentrate is heated to destroy any micro-organisms and is then filled into large sterile bags under aseptic conditions and sealed. It does not need to be stored frozen for micro-biological reasons but prolonged storage at high temperatures leads to a reduction in product quality regarding the colour of red fruits.
Frozen Concentrate
This generally refers to the product, which is not sterile and is stored below -15°C in drums and below -7°C in bulk.
Pulp Sediment Concentrate
In cloudy juices, particularly citrus, cellular matter will sediment during storage. The amount of sedimentation can be quantified by centrifugation of the juice under standardised conditions and then reading the resulting volume of sediment.
Puree
All of the juice and a large proportion of the fibrous matter naturally found in the fruit are maintained. The insoluble matter is broken up to pass through a fine sieve to produce a smooth liquid thicker than the juice equivalent. Puree is available as both a concentrate and single strength.
Clarified
Juices can be clear or cloudy. Clarified juices are prepared usually by a combination of enzymatic pre-treatment followed by filtration of cloudy juices. These clarified juices tend to be less flavoursome than their cloudy counterparts due to the extra processing.
Cloudy/Peel Extract
Cloudy concentrates are specialised citrus products manufactured by extracting de-oiled peel and pulp residues with hot water with the addition of pectolytic enzymes. The filtered, extracted cloudy liquid is then pasteurized and concentrated to 50°Brix.
Comminute
Comminute is a whole fruit puree. All of the outer layers of the fruit are intentionally included generally by mechanically processing them to a pulp like consistency and incorporating them with juice. Only citrus fruits are comminuted. Comminutes cannot be consumed directly but are used in the formulation of drinks primarily in citrus squashes. Comminute is declared on the pack as a mix of fruit/juice content or just fruit content.
Compounds
A blend of juices, flavours, colours, acids, stabilisers – often made for ease of use at soft drink production sites.
Packaging
Customer specific packaging upon request.
Our packaging options include:
Aseptic bags
Drums
Jerry cans
1000L rigid plastic IBCs
1000L aseptic bins
Tankers
In collaboration with our NPD, we are able to produce exclusive fruit mixes based on customer requests.
