Apple ,one of the most delicious fruits you can find....
The apple tree is a deciduous tree with a maximum height of 8-12 meters.
It blooms in spring and the fruits ripen in autumn with a maximum fruit size of 5-15 cm and one of the basic characteristics of the apples are the various colors such as red, green, yellow, etc.
The fact that apples are so popular is because they are rich in vitamins, rich in potassium, and various other nutrients that help good physical and mental health, while also having low calories and are an ideal fruit for those who want to lose weight.
One of the top priorities of the European Union in terms of growing apples and not only, is to ensure the highest quality of the final product but also the highest safety at all stages of the production process.
The goal is to deliver to the final consumer a product that will contain all the organoleptic characteristics it needs and having the same time a wonderful taste.
In the context of these purposes, the EU has adopted a series of prerequisites and regulations to ensure the quality and safety of apples as well as all agricultural products produced.
Specifically for apple cultivation, some of the quality characteristics that apples need to have in order to reach the final consumer are:
- The crop should be located away from polluted areas.
- To be used for irrigation top quality water.
- The apples must be without marks and hits, with the right color of each variety and with the right texture.
- To be free from herbicides and pesticides so that it is safe for consumption by citizens.
- To be transported and stored in proper conditions in compliance with all prescribed safety measures.
In the frame of the application of the above and more quality standards, the organic apple juice is also produced. How organic apple juice is being produced:
Once the fruit is inspected for maturity and hardness, it is transported to the factory for processing. These fruits are washed, selected, and separated.
Carefully selected fruit is squeezed into juice presses; the production process retains all the nutrients to the highest degree. The pure, 100% fruit content and too confused, the juice was heated gently (to 80-85 ° C for a very short time to destroy the microorganisms), to pasteurize it, and finally poured into new, clean glass bottles or 3-liter bags.
Pasteurization prevents the oxidation of aromatic components and vitamins of atmospheric oxygen, stopping the degradation of pectin by enzymes in the juice, as well as preventing contamination of it with fungi, molds, or other microorganisms. This process is not intended to kill all microorganisms in food, but only to reduce the number of viable pathogens to a level that is very unlikely to cause disease.
The method keeps 100 % the character and natural flavor of the fruit, keeping in the most natural and plant nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Natural juices are pasteurized in a short time pasteurization and subsequent cooling.
EU organic juices are one of the best agriculture products,a drink that provides you with all the nutrients and energy you need!
