RTD Beverages & Craft Brewing

Fruit puree is heavily relied on by beverage manufacturers and craft breweries to deliver natural body, cloudiness, and intense fruit character. They are the ideal base for smoothies, functional RTD beverages, fruit-forward craft beers (such as sours and fruit IPAs), and cocktail mixers.

Dairy, Yogurt & Frozen Desserts

Fruit puree adds a rich texture, natural sweetness, and vibrant visual appeal to dairy products. It is widely used as a flexible fruit base for yogurts, sorbets, gelato, ice cream swirls, and plant-based dairy alternatives where real-fruit mouthfeel is critical.

Baby Food & Pureed Nutrition

Because our purees are made by blending whole, ripe fruit without added sugars or fillers, they are the gold standard for infant nutrition pouches, clinical nutrition products, and clean-label snacks requiring smooth, easily digestible fruit fiber.

Enhancing Texture, Mouthfeel, and Natural Body

Fruit Purees to Elevate Product Quality

When formulating high-end food and beverage products, juice alone often lacks the physical substance that consumers associate with real fruit. Fruit purees bridge this gap by retaining the insoluble fibers, pulp, and solids inherent to the fruit, delivering an authentic “whole-fruit” sensory experience.

By understanding how viscosity and particulate matter function within your matrix, R&D teams can utilize purees to improve product performance and texture naturally.

  • Natural Viscosity and Mouthfeel: Fruit purees act as a natural thickening agent. The native pectin and soluble fiber structure eliminate or reduce the need for added hydrocolloids, gums, or synthetic thickeners, allowing for a cleaner ingredient deck.

  • Whole-Fruit Sensory Experience: Because the fruit’s pulp and skin solids are processed alongside the juice, purees retain the deeper, complex aromatic notes and rich visual turbidity that single-strength juices lack.

  • 100% Clean-Label Alignment: Utilizing pure fruit purees allows consumer brands to make compelling packaging claims, such as “Made with Real Fruit,” “100% Whole Fruit Puree,” and “No Added Sugars or Preservatives.”

Decades of Experience in

Fit For Purpose Sourcing

Not every application requires the same physical specification or fruit variety; a ultra-smooth baby food pouch, a rustic bakery filling, and a high-speed beverage line each demand distinct pulp levels, seed treatments, and viscosity profiles.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product, our global sourcing network carefully aligns origin, fruit cultivar, and processing method with your functional requirements.

Whether you need rich Indian Alphonso Mango for a deep yellow hue and tropical aroma, or a specific Chilean Strawberry puree with controlled viscosity for dairy injection, we match the origin to your objective. We deliver fruit purees that fit your exact manufacturing parameters.

  • Seeded vs. Seedless (De-Seeded) Options: For delicate berries (like Raspberry, Blackberry, or Passionfruit), we offer both seeded purees for visual texture and finely screened, de-seeded options to prevent nozzle clogging in automated filler lines.

  • Controlled Particulate & Mesh Size: We offer purees finished through various screen sizes—ranging from coarse purees with recognizable fiber to ultra-smooth homogenizations suited for high-speed liquid packaging.

Reliable, High-Quality Ingredients

Fruit Puree Supplier

As international fruit experts, we’ve spent the last 25 years supplying our customers with everything from Fruit Purees to Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) parts. The unadulterated purity of our purees makes them essential for high-quality food, beverage, and nutritional products.

  • Single-Origin & Varietal Precision: We provide single-origin and varietal-specific fruit purees (e.g., Alphonso, Totapuri, or Kent Mango) to deliver predictable color, brix, and flavor profiles every time.

  • Zero Additives or Fillers: Our mechanical pureeing and pasteurization process uses zero synthetic additives, chemical preservatives, or added water, giving your brand a clear clean-label advantage.

Global Sourcing & Supply Chain Resiliency:
Maintaining a dependable, uninterrupted supply of high-volume fruit and vegetable juice concentrates requires an expansive, multi-continental agricultural strategy. Because juice concentrates serve as the high-capacity functional backbone for commercial beverage bottling, confectionery stoving, and dairy preps, any localized crop failure can halt industrial production lines. Brothers International mitigates this vulnerability by coordinating an audited sourcing network across prime growing corridors in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. By balancing harvests across South America (Chile, Brazil, and Argentina), Europe (Poland, Spain, and Germany), and key tropical regions, we effectively insulate our commercial partners from localized weather anomalies, late-season frost damage, seasonal crop shortfalls, and regional harvest deficits.

Sourcing concentrates also unlocks structural freight and logistics efficiencies, moving high-density 65° to 70° Brix ingredients at a fraction of single-strength liquid shipping costs. Our global logistics network leverages multi-modal freight capabilities, overseeing specialized bulk liquid tankers, aseptic food-grade flexitanks, and heavy-duty 55-gallon steel drums and aseptic totes for various fruit ingredients. Through multi-quarter forward contracting and centralized purchasing power across our specialized ingredient divisions, Brothers International negotiates locked-in volume allocations and competitive freight tariffs. This strategic foresight shields manufacturing partners from ocean freight container volatility, canal bottlenecks, and sharp spot-market commodity price spikes.

To bridge the gap between regional agricultural seasons, Brothers International operates a global network of interconnected supplier and distributors. We maintain strategic buffer inventories of high-turnover foundation concentrates – such as clarified apple, white grape, cloudy orange, dark sweet cherry, and black carrot –ensuring immediate, just-in-time (JIT) dispatch to your processing facilities. Our speed on delivery allows procurement and plant operations teams to align ingredient delivery schedules with fluctuating plant throughput and seasonal consumer demand surges.

Quality Assurance & Technical Compliance:
Every production lot of single-strength puree distributed by Brothers International undergoes rigorous physical and rheological analysis to ensure seamless compatibility with automated industrial processing lines. Our technical laboratories monitor critical analytical parameters, beginning with temperature-corrected refractometric Brix to confirm natural single-strength soluble solids without water dilution or added sugars. To guarantee flow consistency in high-speed depositors, filling nozzles, and continuous blending systems, every lot is standardized using a Bostwick Consistometer (measuring flow distance in centimeters over 30 seconds at a calibrated temperature), verifying that the puree delivers the targeted viscosity without risk of thinning or line blockages.

Physical purity and particulate calibration are enforced at every step of processing. Ripe fruits and vegetables pass through precision mechanical finishers fitted with calibrated stainless-steel screens, physically eliminating hard seeds, achenes, stone fragments, and fibrous threads.Furthermore, origin processors utilize continuous in-line vacuum deaerators to strip out dissolved micro-air bubbles, followed immediately by continuous High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) steam-infusion or scraped-surface pasteurization. This rapid thermal curve permanently denatures native polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and pectin methylesterase (PME) enzymes, preventing enzymatic browning, off-flavor synthesis, and phase separation (syneresis) across commercial shelf life.

Food safety, global regulatory compliance, and clean-label traceability form the core of our supply chain governance. All processing facilities within our global supplier network operate under Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarks, maintaining current certifications under SQF, BRCGS, or FSSC 22000. Because purees are foundational to infant nutrition and clean-label consumer foods, every lot is screened via Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) complying with strict FDA “Closer to Zero” targets. Each delivery arrives accompanied by a complete technical documentation packet, including lot-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA), multi-residue pesticide analyses, Kosher and Halal certifications, Non-GMO Project Verification, and USDA National Organic Program (NOP) transaction paperwork.

Premium Fruit Purees Used to Optimize Production

Fruit Puree F.A.Q.

RTD Beverages & Craft Brewing:

  • Smoothies & Functional Wellness Drinks: Single-strength purees serve as the core structural base for cold-pressed smoothies, fruit refreshers, and functional nectars, delivering authentic fruit cloud, suspension stability, and smooth mouthfeel.

  • Fruited Craft Beers & Hard Ciders: The preferred format for fruited sour ales, hazy IPAs, Belgian witbiers, and pastry stouts. Because single-strength puree contains its natural balance of fruit water and soluble sugars, it disperses easily into fermentation tanks, adding natural fruit haze, fermentable sugars, and fresh harvest aroma.

Dairy, Plant-Based Alternatives & Frozen Desserts:

  • Fruit-on-the-Bottom & Drinkable Yogurts: Purees provide natural color and fruit solids that blend evenly into cultured dairy or plant-based bases (oat, almond, coconut, cashew) without requiring chemical emulsifiers.

  • Ice Creams, Sorbets & Gelatos: Acts as an authentic fruit base for smooth sorbets and gelato ribbons, lowering freezing point slightly while adding velvety overrun texture and clean flavor release.

Infant Nutrition & Clean-Label Pureed Foods:

  • Stage-1 and Stage-2 Pouches: Purees milled through fine micro-screens (<0.024″) provide gentle, non-irritating, easily digestible soluble fiber and essential vitamins. With zero added sugars, preservatives, or starches, they meet strict clean-label infant food standards.

  • Clinical & Geriatric Nutrition: Provides standardized texture and natural nutrient density for dysphagia management and medical nutrition diets.

Bakery, Confectionery & Savory Sauces:

  • Pastry Fillings, Glazes & Macarons: Adds natural fruit acidity, color, and pectin-gel structure to baked goods, tart fillings, and fruit bars without boiling out during baking.

  • Glazes, Marinades & Culinary Bases: Contributes body, cling, and caramelizable natural fruit sugars to barbecue sauces, poultry glazes, and Asian-style dressings.

  • Single-Strength Puree (NFC Puree): Milled whole fruit pulp containing 100% of the edible fruit’s natural moisture, insoluble fibers, pectins, and cloud. It maintains the raw fruit’s natural Brix (typically 8° to 18° Brix) and delivers an authentic, spoonable or thick-pourable viscosity.

  • Puree Concentrate: Whole fruit puree that has undergone low-temperature vacuum evaporation to remove 50% to 75% of water content, elevating solids to 28°–36° Brix. It retains insoluble fibers and cloud while reducing shipping volume.

  • NFC Juice (Not From Concentrate): Direct cold-pressed liquid juice that has been decanted or filtered to eliminate coarse pulp and structural fiber. It is a free-flowing, low-viscosity liquid designed for clear or lightly cloudy beverage bottling.

  • Aseptic Purees (Ambient Distribution): Subjected to rapid High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) pasteurization and filled into multi-layer barrier foil bags under sterile conditions. Unopened aseptic purees are shelf-stable at cool ambient temperatures (15°C to 20°C / 59°F to 68°F), eliminating the need for cold-storage shipping and defrosting staging areas.

  • Frozen Purees (-18°C / 0°F): Flash-pasteurized and blast-frozen into food-grade poly-lined drums or pails. Freezing preserves delicate volatile top notes, unheated fresh-harvest flavor, and heat-sensitive pigments (especially vibrant red berry anthocyanins and green chlorophylls) over long storage horizons.

  • Natural pH Puree: Contains zero added acids, retaining the exact unadulterated pH of the harvested raw material. High-acid fruits (berries, citrus, passion fruit, pH < 4.0) are naturally aseptic-compatible, whereas low-acid fruits and vegetables (such as banana, mango, soursop, sweet potato, and spinach, pH > 4.5) must be shipped frozen to prevent pathogen risks unless retorted.

  • Acidified Puree (pH < 4.2): Standardized with a trace percentage of organic citric, malic, or lemon juice to safely drop the pH below the critical 4.2 threshold. This enables low-acid purees to be pasteurized and aseptically packaged for ambient storage without requiring retorting, preserving fresh flavor and bright color.
