This invention discloses a
carbon dioxide-filled, non-concentrated NFC (Not From Concentrate) fruit pulp semi-
solid product and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
food processing technology. The product uses NFC
fruit juice as a base, adds fruit pulp particles, and is infused with
carbon dioxide. This invention provides three industrial-scale preparation routes:
Route 1 employs a synergistic
technology system of vacuum degassing, low-temperature
carbonation, and backpressure
pasteurization, suitable for traditional canning companies;
Route 2 uses ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization, avoiding the
impact of heat treatment on the fruit pulp's texture throughout the process, suitable for modern beverage companies;
Route 3 uses a two-stage filling method where the base material and carbonated base liquid are prepared separately, preventing mechanical damage to the fruit pulp during
carbonation, suitable for carbonated beverage companies. The product of this invention combines the rich
flavor of NFC
fruit juice, the chewy elasticity of real fruit pulp, and the pungent
sensation brought by CO₂, resulting in a triple taste experience. Upon opening the can, the
gas release promotes the volatilization of natural fruit aromas, and the product has a
shelf life of 6 to 12 months at
room temperature.
