Guava Puree

Guava Puree

Guava puree is a natural fruit concentrate delivering vibrant tropical flavor, high pectin content for natural thickening, and rich vitamin C profile that enhances fruit systems, stabilizes emulsions, and provides authentic guava character across processing. In the food industry, it offers superior heat stability during UHT filling, natural acidity (pH 3.2-3.8), and versatile color/flavor carrier ideal for beverages, desserts, and yogurt applications with clean label appeal.

Food Industry Applications

• Beverages: Provides authentic guava intensity in smoothies, juices, nectars, and RTD tropical blends with natural pulp suspension and flavor layering, heat-stable through pasteurization at 95°C maintaining fresh character, excellent cloud stability without separation during 6-month ambient storage.

• Flavor syrups and mixes: Concentrates guava essence in powdered drink bases, slushie syrups, and cocktail mixes ensuring aroma retention post-spray drying, acid-sugar balance preventing fermentation, and vibrant color stability in acidic reconstitution systems.

• Desserts and bakery: Enriches fruit fillings, cheesecakes, ice creams, and tropical tarts with natural pectin gelling at 0.5-2% addition, heat tolerance during baking up to 180°C without flavor loss, moisture migration control extending shelf life in laminated crusts.

• Dairy products: Swirls into yogurts, flavored milks, gelato, and pudding layers providing fruit chunk perception and protein-acid compatibility, prevents syneresis through pectin interaction, maintains tropical brightness through cold chain refrigeration.

• Confectionery: Forms fruit paste centers for chews, jellies, and panned candies with natural setting power and chew development, sugar-acid synergy for bloom resistance, and consistent flavor release without enzymatic browning during ambient storage.

• Sauces and condiments: Balances savory-sweet profiles in chutneys, dipping sauces, and fruit ketchups with pectin thickening during hot-fill processing, color retention through metal sequestration, and heat stability preventing flavor volatilization.

Other Industry Applications

In cosmetics, extracts antioxidants for facial masks and brightening serums; in personal care, incorporates into body scrubs and tropical-scented washes; in industrial uses, produces natural colors and fruit extracts for beverages.
