Ginger juice concentrate

Ginger juice concentrate suppliers and sourcing guide

Ginger juice concentrate is juice pressed from fresh ginger rhizomes (Zingiber officinale) and concentrated by evaporation. Rhizomes are washed, crushed and pressed, the juice is screened or centrifuged to remove fiber and starch, then concentrated and pasteurized or filled aseptically. Brands use it for pungent ginger flavor in shots, sodas, teas, sauces and dressings.

Forms and grades of ginger juice concentrate

Suppliers sell different products under the same name. Specify the one you need.

  • Cloudy concentrate

    Contains fine ginger solids and starch; settles in storage and gives a natural cloudy look.

  • Clarified concentrate

    Filtered or centrifuged for clear drinks; starch removed to limit sediment.

  • Single-strength (NFC) ginger juice

    Pressed juice that is not concentrated, often frozen or aseptic.

  • Organic

    Pressed from certified organic ginger.

What to check on the COA

Compare each result with your own specification when the lot arrives.

Brix
Soluble solids by refractometer, which sets the dilution rate.
Gingerols and shogaols
Pungent compounds by HPLC, a useful check on flavor strength between lots.
pH and titratable acidity
Ginger juice is low in acid, so pH sets the processing and preservation needs of the finished product.
Microbiology
Total plate count, yeast and mold, and spore-formers; ginger is a root crop that carries soil organisms.
Heavy metals and pesticide residues
Lead, arsenic and cadmium by ICP-MS, and a multi-residue pesticide screen.

Storage, lots and expiry

Storage and shelf life

Store concentrate frozen or chilled as the supplier specifies; aseptic bag-in-box product can be held at cool ambient until opened, then refrigerated. Mix or recirculate before use because solids settle. Shelf life is set by the supplier's spec for the packaging and storage temperature.

Lots and expiry dates

Pungency, Brix and sediment vary with ginger origin, maturity and processing, so record Brix and gingerol results per lot and taste-test before production. Rotate first-expiring lots first (FEFO), and use opened containers within the supplier's stated period.
