  • Freeze concentration process
    Patent number: 6855354
    Abstract: The use of an improved method for freeze concentration is disclosed. The method provides for first freezing components of a pulpy slurry of Morinda citrifolia. More dilute components are extracted after the initial freezing. A secondary freezing process at a lower temperature allows more concentrated portions of a Morinda citrifolia slurry to be removed. Flavor and therapeutic oils remain in the resulting concentrate for improved flavor and health benefits.
