Abstract: A method is described for minimizing material mixing of a first fluid material and a second fluid material in a material processing system that includes a pipeline. The method includes introducing into an upstream portion of the pipeline a sufficient amount of a material mixing inhibitor using, in some instances a cartridge for delivery of the material mixing inhibitor composition to the material processing system.

Abstract: A process and system to produce a fruit or vegetable juice concentrate having clean flavor, color, and aroma with a Brix value between about 30 to about 70 The process includes crushing raw fruit or vegetable to form a juice puree that is enzymatically treated to improve overall yield of juice concentrate. The enzymatically treated juice puree is directed to a separator to separate the liquid juice from the solids. The liquid juice is pasteurized, clarified, and then treated to remove or reduce off-flavor and/or off-flavor precursor compounds to produce the fruit or vegetable juice concentrate.
