JUICES & NECTARES
QUESTIONS AND CURIOSITIES
What is the difference between nectar and a 100% juice?
Both are drinks with a high fruit content and that's what distinguishes them from soft drinks and water.
Nectar can have between 25 and 99% of fruit, with the minimum legal limits defined depending on the type of fruit. For example, the minimum fruit threshold for peach nectar is 50%, while that for mango nectar is 25%.
100% juices are those that consist only of fruit juice, with no added water.
Our main raw material is fruit, its concentrates or pulps. We have juices made from concentrates and others made from pulps. Some of the popular flavoured pulps such as peach and pear are made in our factory, that is, we receive the trucks with fruit directly from the orchard and extract the pulp, always respecting the highest quality standards. Once the pulp or concentrate is obtained, we make the blend, that is, the mixture that will result in the final juice. Finally, pasteurization and packaging is carried out under strict aseptic conditions.
In short:
- Fruit reception
- Selection
- Cleaning
- Transformation into pulp
- Formulation
- Pasteurization
- Package filling
- Packaging (secondary packaging)
- Palletizing
- Arrival of the final product at the Establishments
And do the nectars still have added sugar?
Yes, but the sugar content remains unchanged. However, we use sugar at low levels and only to improve its taste. In recent years we have been reducing the sugar levels in our nectars to make them even healthier.
Can I include a juice in the recommended consumption of 3 to 5 pieces of fruit per day?
Drinking Compal juices and nectars contributes to the daily consumption of fruit.
What we cannot do is establish a quantitative relationship between litres of juice and pieces of fruit. For this, we have Compal Essencial, fruit doses that guarantee nutritional equivalence to a piece of fruit.
