JC Dudley Commercial Fruit Puree Supplier UK

2/3/2021

0 Comments

 
In the food and drink industry, every manufacturer knows how versatile fruit puree is as an ingredient for food or drink products. Fruit puree is used across a wide range of different food and drink sectors, from baby food jar ranges and fruit-flavoured drinks to ice creams and sweet desserts, and more.
 
With the growing rate of health-consciousness, consumers are now shifting even faster towards seeking out food and drink products that contain natural fruit rather than synthetic drinks containing artificial flavours, colours and sweeteners.
 
This drive towards more natural food and drink products is expected to continue to grow over the years to come with sales increasing year on year in products containing fruit puree as a leading ingredient.
 
Fruit puree versatility
 
The added value of fruit puree lays in its versatility. It is widely used in food products such as cheesecakes, mousses, jams and syrups. Fruit puree can be mixed with fresh fruit juices, milk and other drinks to create a range of uniquely flavoured ready-to-drink beverages.
 
More food and drink manufacturers than ever before are turning to fruit puree as a flexible ingredient to improve flavours, textures and colours as well as to replace artificial sweeteners and sugar syrups in products where consumers are demanding more natural ingredients to sweeten their products.
 
Also, because there is more demand coming from consumers for their food and drink products to deliver benefits such as highly prized nutritional properties, it is expected that the growth of the fruit puree market will continue to increase over the next decade by around 6%, so now is a good time to be investing in new product ingredient development that includes natural fruit puree.
 
Fruit puree market study
 
According to recent research, the drink industry currently holds the highest volume share of the market at 29% in 2020, because of their increasing use of fruit puree ingredients to boost the nutritional content and enrich the flavour of their drink ranges.
 
The use of fruit puree ingredients is expected to add significant value to food and drink manufacturers product ranges owing to increasing demand from consumers for minimally processed, chemical-free products with no artificial ingredients.
 
The most popular fruit puree is currently apple, which holds around one-fourth of fruit puree production.
 
One of the leading sectors for fruit puree use is the baby food sector, which is expected to grow with parents actively wanting to feed their children with wholesome, easy to digest and healthy ingredients available.
 
It is also expected that the dairy industry will steadily increase its use of fruit puree ingredients due to the increased demand for healthy, natural ingredients that also deliver great sensory taste and levels of flavour.

UK Fruit Concentrate Supplier: JC Dudley

2/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Leading UK fruit concentrate supplier JC Dudley has many years of experience in the sourcing and supply of a wide range of fruit concentrates for use by commercial food and drink companies.
As with most seasonal food and drink products, we are used to anticipating trends in the consumer market as well as understanding how demand for seasonal fruit products peak due to their availability and ripeness.

Consumers are becoming more aware of the food and drink they consume and understand that seasonal fruits hold their own beneficial properties, such as watermelon with its high water content which is very refreshing during the warm summer months.

With winter brings chilly temperatures and a rise in viruses such as coughs, colds and flu. Consumers will turn to natural seasonal fruit products in winter for their health properties, especially those with a high Vitamin C content to help boost their immune system.

Consumer demand during winter sees a steep rise in sales for Vitamin C containing fruits such as orange, sweet-lime, guava, kiwi, and more. But a fruit concentrate that is rising in popularity right now and which is expected to have the biggest rise in sales this decade is pomegranate juice. Pomegranate fruit and juice has been found to be especially beneficial for pregnant women.

Pomegranate juice is good for pregnancy

Pomegranates are a rich source of iron, which helps to prevent iron-deficiency in expectant mothers. Doctors recommend that, during pregnancy, it is very helpful to increase haemoglobin levels and drinking pomegranate juice is a great way to do this.

Pomegranate fruit and its juice is rich in natural fruit fibre which helps to keep you regular and free from constipation. The juice is also a valuable ingredient in many ready-made fruit juice drinks and smoothies.

The fruit juice has a unique and refreshing flavour that compliments many different fruit combinations so is worth considering if you are a drinks manufacturer always looking for new, innovative fruit-based ingredients for your drink range.

Pomegranate juice market set to explode

According to research analysis from AMA Research & Media LLP, the pomegranate juice market is set to explode again.The latest report available at Advance Market Analytics shows that there is an expected growth in consumer demand in the coming years for this unique fruit juice.
You can get a sample of the AMA report here.

For a food or drink manufacturer looking to expand their range of flavours or are working on introducing new, healthier fruit concentrate ingredients to reduce the added sugar content of their existing range then fruit concentrates are the way to go.

Pomegranate juice is expected to become increasingly popular with consumers this year and the fruit concentrate we offer at JC Dudley is of a very highquality and versatile. Our sustainably sourced pomegranate fruit concentrate can be used to make juice drinks and also in dairy and bakery goods as a concentrate.

The popularity of pomegranate juice is quickly expanding again in all regions of the UK and Europe, with the largest demand being driven by middle class and wealthy consumers, as well as those with a rising disposable income in emerging countries, according to the AMA research report. Women tend to like the taste of pomegranate juice more when compared to men.

Making it easy to keep up with flavour trends
 
As consumers clamour to follow the latest trends for food and drink flavours, it can often be difficult for manufacturers to keep up with ever-changing demands.
 
JC Dudley is keen to keep a finger on the pulse of shifting consumer trends, so when we spot a new flavour trend hitting the headlines, we make sure that we have adequate stocks of the most desired flavour food and drink ingredients so that we help our customers keep up with demand.
 
We have seen bakeries needing to switch production to meet with emerging trends for flavours, sometimes overnight in anticipation for an increased demand for one flavour over all others.
 
As for what's going to be hot in 2021, we can see trends leaning towards four main areas. These are:

  • Immunity boosting foods
  • Breakfast at home products
  • Home baking products
  • Vegetable juices
 
With the ongoing pandemic, it is no surprise to see the general public seeking out more health-boosting foods that contain healthy, natural ingredients that are known for their immunity-boosting properties.

 
Immunity boosting ingredients
 
With people's health being front and centre this past year, consumers minds have turned to buying food and drink products that can help to boost their immunity. More consumers are reading food labels looking for functional ingredients to help them stay healthy. This includes alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, dairy products, baked goods and confectionery, as well as sports drinks and snacks to help boost performance in the gym or while working out.
 
Flavours that are popular with consumers looking for an immunity boost include apple, carrot, ginger, blueberry elderberry, and honey.

 
Breakfast at home products
 
Now that working from home has become a new way of life for many people, they now have more time at home to prepare breakfast and try something new while spending less time commuting to work where they may grab some breakfast on the go.
 
According to research figures from Nielsen, breakfast cereal sales rose 35% for the week ending April 25, 2020, compared with the year-earlier period.

 
Consumers are now more interest in breakfast food and the desire for healthy food has seen a boost in fruit yoghurt sales as more people are choosing to eat yoghurt at home as part of their breakfast.
 
Home baking products
 
Because consumers are spending more time at home and in the kitchen, it has led to a boom in home baking. In recent studies, 54% of consumers are cooking more and 46% are baking more at home than last year.
 
With more time of people's hands, many consumers are rediscovering baking and in response, the demand for home baking products has gone through the roof. It's not just the raw baking ingredients that have seen an increase is sales, such as flour and dried fruit, but home baking mixes such as cake mixes, cookie mixes and artisan bread mixes with dried herbs and seeds.

 Demand has also risen steeply for food to eat at home such as baked goods, syrups, dairy, snacks, sauces, and confectionery. Who could have failed to notice the craze for baking banana bread taking over social media in recent months?

 Vegetable juices
 
Demand for savoury food and drinks have also soared during the pandemic with chicken dishes being more popular than ever. What has also happened is a greater demand from consumers for savoury, health-boosting drinks that contain vegetable juices.
 
As more people attempt to reduce their sugar consumption, they are now turning away from high-sugar fizzy soda drinks in favour of drinking juices, especially savoury vegetable juices. As the juicing trend has been steadily growing in recent years, people are now looking for a convenient, ready-made alternative to having to buy loads of vegetables to juice at home themselves.

So if you are looking to introduce a new flavour in your product range, or maybe you want to try and spot the next up and coming trend and get ahead of your competitors? Why not take a look at our full product range to see what amazing flavour combinations you could create.

J C Dudley Leading Fruit Concentrate Supplier

10/11/2020

We are often asked why most commercial fruit juice companies choose to usefruit concentrates instead of fresh, natural fruit juices to make their drink ranges. The answer to this question is two-fold.
Firstly, concentrated fruit juice is easier and cheaper to transport than fresh fruit juice. Secondly, at the end of the day, concentrated fruit juices are still natural juices, they are just available in a more concentrated form with a lot of the water weight removed.
When you think about your business overheads, reducing the water content of your fruit juice will mean you can transport almost five times more juice for the same price as the same weight of fresh juice.
If you are shipping your juice ingredients to your processing and bottling facilities, then you don't want to add to your transportation costs any more than necessary. You can keep your business overheads down by buying fruit concentrates and then simply add fresh water back to it if you want to use your juice in an un-concentrated form.

How fruit juice concentrates are made
Fresh fruit ingredients grown for juicing is first washed and peeled (if necessary). The fruit is then carefully pressed or crushed to remove the juice. Depending on the type of fruit, it may then be filtered to remove unwanted seeds and pulp.
Once the fruit is juiced it is then pasteurized and put through a heat and vacuum system that effectively removes most of the water, usually somewhere between 80-90% of the water is removed. The resulting juice is then cooled and hermetically packaged.

NFC fruit juices
JC Dudley supply a wide range of 'not from concentrate'(NFC) fruit juices. These are minimally processed fruit juices that are particularly high in consumer demand at the moment for people actively looking to improve their health by eating and drinking more healthily.
NFC juices offer a fresh flavour with clearly recognisable fruits that people want to see on their ingredient labels. The difference between NFC juice and 'from concentrate' (FC) juice is that FC juice is heat-treated to reduce the water content, whereas NFC juice uses a technology that produces fresh fruit juice under low-temperature conditions, following pasteurisation.
The main difference is in the shelf-life with NFC juice being less than 45 days. Demand for NFC juices has significantly risen, especially in Europe, as part of the trend for healthier and more natural products.
​
Fresh fruit ingredients
Working in close relationship with our international food-chain partners, JC Dudley has direct access to sustainable, responsibly grow, raw fruit crops where they are grown, as well as a well established world-wide procurement system.
This means we have year-round ready access to fresh fruit ingredients that your business needs to manufacture your food or drink products. We can supply you with a regular, stable range of single-fruit or multi-blend fruit-based products to help maintain your production lines and help you with your new product innovations and research and development.
​
So no matter whether you are looking for a fruit concentrate supplier to help you create or adapt your product ingredients into a healthy alternative by removing refined white sugar in your baking recipes, or you want to introduce more healthy fruit-based ingredients into your yoghurt or ice cream lines, or if you want a reliable supply of NFC juices, thenget in touch with our friendly team! We are here to help.

JC Dudley Specialist Juice Supplier

With fruit and vegetable juice sales rocketing around the world, JC Dudley is well-positioned to help anyone looking for a specialist juice supplier for their food or drink business.
Juices are enjoying a faster sales growth than any other food and drink sector in the UK, while at the same time sales of beer are experiencing a slump in sales.

The popularity of fruit juice drinks has risen due to the desire for more healthy drinks. Sales of fruit and vegetable juices have risen by 17% since 2018, according to Santander’s analysis of the latest ONS Prodcom data.
​
The younger generation is driving the increasing demand for juice drinks with more than half of 16-24-year-olds drinking juice drinks at least once a day, with smoothie sales rising the fastest. According to sales data, people spent £112m on smoothies alone in 2018, and smoothie sales are still on the rise today.

Reliable juice supplier

With the sales of beer dropping in the UK to their lowest level in ten years, many drinks manufacturers are responding to changing tastes and demands for healthy drink alternatives.
Food and drink remain the largest UK manufacturing sector, reporting sales of over £71.8bn each year, and the UK is widely seen as a global leader in new food and drink product innovation.

With these huge shifts in consumer buying habits and a growing interest from the younger generation for vegan food and drink alternatives and more people following healthy juice and smoothie diets, many traditional foods and drink manufacturers are now switching their production towards products with more fruit-based ingredients, including the development of new fruit and vegetable juice drink ranges.

With manufacturers needing to respond quicker than ever to create and develop new products to meet with customer demand, sourcing their ingredients through a reliable juice supplier is critical.
JC Dudley is well-positioned to help food and drink manufacturers with our reliable, high-quality and sustainability sourced fruit and vegetable juice products through our network of long-term international growers and business partners.

Fruit juice concentrates

JC Dudley supplies a range of fruit and vegetable juices including fruit concentrates. Fruit concentrate is made by squeezing fresh fruit into juice, usually by a method of crushing the juice or by low-temperature vacuum concentration, and then evaporating out part of the water content of the fruit juice leaving behind a concentrated juice.

The fruit and vegetable juice concentrate market is expected to continue to grow due to the rising demand for healthy food and drink products but also growing concerns about food safety.
From a manufacturers point of view, it is cheaper to purchase and transport juice concentrates than fresh juice. Also, it is much more convenient to transport and handle juice concentrates because of the reduced weight and the way they are packaged.

With more consumers looking to buy healthy non-alcoholic drinks, the pressure on soft drink producers to source high quality and unadulterated fruit and vegetable juice concentrate has never been greater. This growing demand is expected to promote the growth of the juice market, making it even more important to establish a good working relationship with a reliable and trustworthy juice supplier, such as JC Dudley.

If you are looking for a sustainable supply ofNFC fruit juices, we can supply you with everything from apple, orange and grape, to more unusual flavours such as chokeberry, goji and yuzu.
We supply a wide range of fruit juice concentrates as well as ready-preparedfruit purees andvegetable juices and purees.

How To Find A Commercial Juice Supplier

11/9/2020

0 Comments

 
When you are developing a new fruit-based food product or fruit juice drink range, it can be difficult to find an ethical, sustainable and trustworthy juice supplier to help with your product development.
This is why JC Dudley began their operations many years ago to provide food and drink manufacturers with the freshest, highest-quality and sustainably sourced food ingredients to help them achieve their goals.

JC Dudley has become the 'go-to' juice supplier for many leading food and drink brands in the UK and overseas because of our outstanding track record and history of forging strong working partnerships with all of our ingredient suppliers.

Fruit juice suppliers and more

JC Dudley supplies high-quality, sustainable and ethically sourcedfruit juice concentrates andNFC fruit juices directly to food and drinks manufacturers of all sizes from large, well-established brand names to small, independent start-ups offering a bespoke product with limited availability and scarcity to create a high level of desire from their customers.

While a lot of new food and drink entrepreneurs will look for the cheapest wholesalers to get started, they need to also consider the quality and consistency of supply for their product. It is not only price that is important when launching a new food or drinks brand.

However, after very little research most savvy entrepreneurs will come to realise that working in partnership with JC Dudley will actually work out more affordable for them in the long term. We offer a bespoke range of difficult to source fruit concentrates, juices and other ingredients such as oils, essences and dried herbs and spices that can enhance and improve the quality and uniqueness of a new recipe that you are looking to develop – and all these ingredients are available under one roof.

From popular to obscure juice extracts

While one of the most popular and well-known juice concentrates in the world is orange juice, growers will often focus on producing oranges over other less commercial fruit crops.

However, a new innovative drink developer wishing to launch a new range can take the somewhat humble orange juice concentrate that has been used for decades, and using modern blending techniques and unique ingredients, add to the taste and quality of this juice to create something entirely new for the drinks market.

JC Dudley is committed to producing and delivering fresh fruit juice and clean fruit products with the highest of standards for our commercial customers. If you are planning on bringing a new drink to market then you will need a juice supplier that you can trust.

Best quality juice supplier on the market

Because we have built up a strong working relationship with our international growers, we can assure our customers that we will only ever source and supply the highest quality fruit juice products available.

 We source from ethical and sustainable sources that help to support the growers and their families as well as help to preserve their local environment and the health of their soil.

JC Dudley is also well aware of the demand coming from end consumers for healthy, clean fruit ingredients, this is why we strive to help our growing partners to maintain the health of their fruit products.

Consumers want fruit juice suppliers and drink manufactures to use clean, fresh, high-quality fruit ingredients because they want to put their health first. Drinking fruit juice is a great way for consumers to get healthy doses of vitamins and minerals such as iron, potassium, vitamins A and C etc.

Fruit juice concentrates can also be used to flavour and enhance many food products, such as ice cream, cakes, pies, sauces and fruit desserts. The freshness of these ingredients is paramount to deliver a good-tasting and desirable food or snack product. This is why you should source from a credible and trustworthy juice supplier such as JC Dudley.

High-Quality Fruit Puree Suppliers

9/7/2020

0 Comments

 
JC Dudley is one of the UK's leading fruit puree suppliers sourcing and delivering high quality, sustainably sourced fruit purees to food and drink manufacturers with our comprehensive range of puree flavours and textures.

Our team is well known in the food and drink manufacturing industry for offering a very wide range of often hard to find fruit and vegetable products. This is because we have a well-established business with very strong relationships with our growers and suppliers.

We work hard to manage our business processes to ensure a secure supply of superb food ingredients, working closely with our business partners in our supply chain to maintain our high standards and swift sourcing and delivery.

Our diverse fruit puree range

We are one of the country's most trusted fruit puree suppliers delivering everything from the traditional to the tropical. We source our ingredients from highly trusted suppliers from around the world and focus on building relationships with sustainable growers that treat their workers fairly while taking good care of their land and environment.

This way we can give full transparency and traceability to our customers, often to the very field that the fruit was grown in. Our global reach has taken time to build, but this works to your advantage as we can source from suppliers that will provide the perfect ingredient to meet with your needs.
We all know that fruit crops can fail, so having such strong working relationships with leading growers and suppliers around the world, we can still source the finest ingredients to make your food or drink product even when fruit ingredients are scarce.

Fruit puree range

We offer everything from Açai to Tamarillo (Tree Tomato) in our extensive range of fruit purees, so if you are looking for something traditional such as strawberry, raspberry and apple or you prefer something a little more rare and unusual, such as lulo, pitanga or Dragonfruit (red and white), then you need not look any further than JC Dudley.

We offer a one-stop-shop for all of your fruit puree ingredients whether you need a sauce for your ice-cream, a fruit ingredient for your baked goods, or a flavouring for your yoghurt range, and more!
We also keep an eye on emerging consumer trends to enable us to stay one step ahead of demand to enable us to deliver the fruit puree you want swiftly and in the right quantities for your needs. For example, consumers love to jump on the next superfood trend and seek out food and drink products with a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals rather than added sugar, such as Acerola cherry and other tart fruits high in Vitamin C.

Acerola cherry puree

Acerola cherry is a plant that produces cherry-like berries but isn't a true cherry. The berries have been used for centuries as a healthy source of Vitamin C and the berries were pureed down and fed to people to help recover from coughs and colds and help to boost their immunity.
Acerola puree has a sweet, fragrant, and astringent taste that is very pleasant. Because the berries are quickly perishable with much of its valuable nutrition being lost within 5 days of harvesting, using an Acerola fruit puree is a good way to preserve the benefits of the Acerola berries as they are pureed immediately after harvesting.

The berries contain higher amounts of vitamin C than oranges and the only other berry that outdoes Acerola are rosehips, which we also supply as a puree. Choosing either Acerola or rosehip for your health food, drink or healthy snack will be really popular, especially during cold and flu season.
As one of the country's most trusted and well-established fruit puree suppliers, JC Dudley is here to help you with our comprehensive range of high-quality fruit purees. Do not hesitate to contact our friendly team for more information about our purees. We would be pleased to answer your questions.

This is why we like to offer a comprehensive range of fruit concentrates and be ready to supply you with what you need as tastes and trends change. In our long years of service, we have also seen many revivals and rediscoveries of older, long-forgotten fruits that become rebranded as the new 'superfood', such as the humble Lingonberry, for example.
 
What are lingonberries?
 
Lingonberries are most often used in jams, syrups and preserves. These small, deep ruby red berries are quite tart to the taste and are a popular condiment in Scandinavia. They have been intrinsic to the Nordic diet for thousands of years and are often foraged for in the wild.
 
To draw a comparison, most people say that lingonberries taste a lot like cranberries and are often used in the same way. Both lingonberries and cranberries come from the same family of plants.
 
According to history, ancient mariners and seafarers carried with them various lingonberry concoctions on long journeys because they are a rich source of vitamin C and could ward off scurvy. As well as vitamin C, lingonberries are also a good source of vitamin A, manganese, and magnesium.
 
Sourcing lingonberries with JC Dudley
 
If you are thinking of creating a food or drink product that uses lingonberry fruit concentrate as an ingredient, it is worth partnering with JC Dudley and working with us to help maintain your supply.
 
Lingonberries are mostly wild harvested and not cultivated for mass consumption like a typical commercial fruit crop such as apples or pears etc. Compared with other more common fruit, lingonberries are not cheap, but their unique qualities make the effort of including them in your recipe worth it.
 
If you are still in the process of creating a new and unique fruit drink or condiment using lingonberries as an ingredient, then it is helpful to know that lingonberry sauce is traditionally served with savoury Norwegian pancakes, fried herring, meatballs and potato pancakes.
 
A sweetened lingonberry jam is served at Christmas time with rice pudding, so although the fruit is tart by nature, combining it with sweet fruits to make a unique flavour jam or sauce to serve with hot puddings could be a great idea!
 
Why not take a look at our comprehensive range of different fruit concentrates to come up with your own exceptional flavour combination. It would also be worth talking to our team at JC Dudley to discuss your new product idea to see how we can help you develop your own signature brand.
