Apple Juice Concentrate High Acidity is a thick, sugar-rich syrup made by pressing apples, clarifying the juice, and evaporating it to about 70 degrees Brix, with a higher malic acid content that gives a tart flavor, mostly used for blending with milder juices. It is reconstituted into apple and blended juices and used in soft drinks, nectars, baby food, jams, cider, and flavorings. Because supply depends on a single annual apple harvest and on how much fruit goes to processing, this market follows crop size in Poland, China, and Turkey, plus freight, tariffs, and stock levels. Apple crop size in Poland, China, and Turkey, juice and beverage demand, and tariffs and freight costs are what drive prices in this market.
