Dried plum juice is made by a process known as the disintegration method. In this process the dried plums are cooked in water for at least 8 h with vigorous agitation until the fruit is broken into small pieces. The juice is then separated out by pressing the mash or by high speed centrifugation, after which it is clarified by allowing the solids to settle and siphoning off the juice or by filtration. The resulting liquid is then concentrated to a final brix of 19 to 21˚. This juice can be further processed to produce plum juice concentrate. To produce the concentrate the plum juice is first depectinized; pectic enzymes are added to the juice and it is vigorously stirred for 4 to 6 h. juice is then filtered and concentrated under vacuum at low temperature(48˚C) to 70˚Bx. Dried plum powder is made from whole dried plum solids dried to a very low moisture(max 3.5%) and mixed with an anti-caking agent. Dried plum fiber is made from the dehydrated pulp from the dried plums used in making plum juice, milled and then screened. Plum puree is a blend of dried plums that are passed through a fine mesh screen and then blended with plum juice concentrate.
