Purées

Quadrum Foods’ second main branch of activity - fruits & vegetables purees. Purees are produced by processing the edible parts of fruits or vegetables. They are made from uncooked goods, which has had the skin and seeds removed. They have a mushy texture, and often contain traces of fruit / vegetable. This peculiar texture comes from the extraction of juice during processing. Purees are used as an ingredient by many food industry segments. They are especially popular in beverage, dairy, confectionery, baby food and baked goods. But why? Firstly, healthy eating habits among consumers have spotlighted the use of natural and organic materials instead of artificial flavors in food production. Pulps act as natural taste, color, and texture enhancers. They instill a non-artificial intense fruit flavor into food products. Secondly, they also work as natural sweeteners. And last but not least, purees keep an important nutritional content from the fresh fruits or vegetables: vitamins & minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and prebiotics. Puree stands out among other natural ingredients, like fresh or frozen products. It is attractive to industry players for being more efficiently handled in logistics. It has a longer storage life than fresh fruit / vegetable without much alteration to natural content and flavor. Additionally, this factor means reduced transportation and storage costs.
