Fluid fruit juice and edible plasticizer composition having low moisture content

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Fruit juices are concentrated to low moisture levels (below about 25 per cent, and preferably as low as about 2 per cent moisture content) without excessive increases in viscosity or less of flavor by adding an edible plasticizer such as glycerin, propylene glycol or a mixture thereof, to a fruit juice or fruit juice concentrate and, evaporating most of the moisture from the concentrateplasticizer mixture. The resulting fruit juice solidsplasticizer mixture can be used as an additive for chewing gum, foods, or concentrated fruit juice compositions for reconstitution in water to form beverages.
