Peach puree used in beverage creation | Alimentos SAS

Fruits are among the most common ingredients in the elaboration of food products. We see them in all kinds of them. For example, confectionery, sauces, desserts, and beverages. Among fruits and their uses, we find peach puree. In this article, we tell you about the trends of its use in the creation of innovative beverages.

 

The ABC of peaches

 

Peach has a soft and juicy pulp. Its flavor is sweet, highly fruity, and almost floral, with an acidic touch (Perkchops, n.d.). Additionally, it is quite versatile when combined with other flavors, as it can complement or enhance them. Possibilities include nuts, cranberries, cherries, citrus fruits, cinnamon, basil, cloves, vanilla, caramel, honey, and ginger. It is also a favorite flavor during the spring and summer seasons (Advanced Biotech, 2020).

 

Advantages of peach puree

 

Peaches have great potential as an ingredient in food production. In particular, its puree represents great benefits. On the one hand, it is a processed form of the fruit that retains its nutritional value while being more convenient to transport and store. On the other hand, it acts as a natural sweetener and improves the color, flavor, and texture of foods (Persistence Market Research, 2023).

 

Uses of peach puree in beverage production

 

Today, we can use this product to create numerous beverage options. It is in the production of nectar and juices where peach fruit is most popular. This is due to its sweetness and freshness, in addition to the fact that, in the case of nectar, the aim is to make a drink with a certain amount of fruit puree or pulp. 

 

But it is not only in this type of beverages that peach is a good option. For example, it is one of the leading yogurt flavors, along with classics such as strawberry. Consumption of these products is growing due to interest in convenient, healthy, and functional foods (TechSci Research, 2023).

 

There is also a trend in soft drinks that peach puree can exploit, since traditional flavors such as this are combined with more unusual ones to attract consumers. In fact, different flavors are a plus among young people. This is the case with soursop fruit, which captures interest among soft drinks (T. Hasegawa, 2022).

 

In the manufacture of alcoholic beverages

 

Alcohol products are not far behind. The puree of this fruit is a key ingredient for (Advanced Biotech, 2020; T. Hasegawa, 2022):

 

  • Reinvigorated recipes for classic cocktails in combination with elements of mint, hazelnut, honey, and basil. The puree can be a good option to add a sweet and fruity flavor to alcoholic beverages such as margaritas, mojitos, sangrias, etc. In addition, it can provide a unique base for frozen cocktails.
  • Ready-to-drink options. Here, fruit-flavored options reign supreme. For half of U.S. adults, taste is a factor in consuming alcohol. In fact, it influences the choice of options for 78% of people from 22 to 34 years old.
  • Sparkling wine, rum, vodka, and the traditional peach schnapps.


Finally, producing captivating beverages using peach puree also depends on quality inputs, such as those offered by Alimentos SAS. These are a bridge to conquer palates and explore new segments.
