Technical note

Juice solids and puree texture need different tests

A juice separator and a puree refiner solve different product problems.

Choose the product test first

For juice, specify the desired cloud, suspended material and sediment behaviour. For puree, provide a retained reference sample and a measurable texture or particle criterion. Words such as smooth or natural can mean different things to different buyers.

Track the side stream

A press leaves a fibre-rich residue; a separator removes another selected fraction. Pulping and refining also produce rejects, but their objective is a tissue-rich puree. Weigh and describe each stream instead of applying one recovery number to both product routes.

State the sample condition

Viscosity and texture depend on temperature, composition and how the sample is tested. Record the measurement method and compare samples at equivalent conditions. A screen opening is an equipment detail, not a complete finished-product specification.
