How to Reduce Sugar Using Natural Fruit Concentrates

Bottles of colorful fruit juices surrounded by fresh produce like carrots, kiwi, strawberries, and oranges, with icons indicating 'Sugar Free' and 'Natural Ingredients' — representing clean label reformulation with natural fruit concentrates.

Today’s consumers are reading labels and actively avoiding added sugars — especially in sauces, dressings, and condiments. Reformulating to meet clean label and low-sugar demands can be a challenge, but natural fruit concentrates offer an effective and flavorful solution. 

At Emerling Foods, we offer a range of fruit-based sweetening alternatives that allow brands to reduce or replace refined sugar while enhancing taste and nutrition. 

Popular choices include: 

  • Apple juice concentrate: mild, sweet, and highly versatile 
  • Pear concentrate: clean sweetness with neutral color 
  • Grape and plum concentrates: ideal for barbecue and rich sauces 
  • Pineapple and mango: bring tropical notes to marinades and vinaigrettes 
  • Strawberry and raspberry: deliver both flavor and natural color 

These concentrates offer a concentrated source of natural sugars along with flavor compounds, acidity, and label-friendly appeal. They work well in ketchup, mustard, vinaigrettes, BBQ sauces, and fruit glazes.
