Organic elderberry juice concentrate as coloring food ingredient
This concentrate is made from organically grown elderberries (Sambucus nigra). 1 kg of organic elderberry concentrate is equal to about 6.5 liters of juice. Or in other words 1 liter of concentrate gives about 9.2 liters of juice. To produce 1 kg of concentrate, approx. 8-9 kg of fresh berries are used, this value is of course dependent on the harvest and is subject to fluctuations. The harvest of elderberries in our latitudes takes place from mid-August to early October.
The dark blue to black color of elderberries comes from the high content of flavonoids and antoncyans. These ingredients provide very strong color-giving effects that in many different recipes. Our elderberry juice concentrate is already used very successfully in organic recipes for confectionery, juice products and snacks of all kinds.

What is the Brix content?
Juice concentrates are produced by removing the water from the pressed direct juice under vacuum. The Brix content varies depending on the raw material/fruit. Roughly speaking, the Brix content indicates the amount of dissolved solids (including various sugars, colorants) contained in 100 g of concentrate. From the °Brix one can roughly infer the sugar content, since the various types of sugar make up a large part of the dissolved solids in juice concentrates.
