Concord grape powder made for nutrition applications

THE BENEFITS of Concord grapes can be harnessed in a wider range of nutrition applications in the new FruitWorx^® Concord Grape Juice Powder by Welch’s Global Ingredients Group.

A proprietary dehydration process is used to gently remove the water from Concord grape juice but retain its bold flavor and rich purple color. The resulting product is a free-flowing, soluble, low water activity powder that is ideal for use in a host of applications, including nutraceuticals and functional foods.

FruitWorx^® Concord Grape Juice Powder delivers the same kind of polyphenols found in Welch’s 100% Grape Juice, and is free from artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. The new powder is also non-GMO.

Welch’s Global Ingredients Group will present this product at SupplySide West in Las Vegas (4-8 October 2016). Visit the company at Booth R169.

Concord grape juice powder is an extension of the existing FruitWorx^® brand, which already encompasses a range of Concord and Niagara grape-based fruit pieces, flakes and pastes, made using a concentration technology called URC^®, developed by Taura Natural Ingredients.

In addition, Welch’s Global Ingredients Group also supplies Concord and Niagara grape juices as single-strength juices, concentrates and purées.
