An apple juice concentrate manufacturing plant is built up of some operating units, usually connected such as no recycles are likely to be found. The final product is essentially concentrated apple juice. In a typical plant flowsheet, apples are classified and sent to the crusher where they are ground, and the resulting pulp is pressed to obtain juice. Then the aroma is stripped, the juice is clarified, and finally concentrated by different procedures.
