The Juice Manufacturing Process For Export At A&B Vietnam

With over 35 years of experience, A&B Vietnam is a pioneer in producing and exporting fruit juice to more than 70 countries. Our commitment to meeting the diverse and stringent demands of the global market is reflected in our international standard juice manufacturing process, ensuring every can and bottle delivers consistent quality and natural flavor.

A&B Vietnam’s facilities are equipped with modern technology and operate under strict quality controls, earning us prestigious certifications such as ISO 22000, HACCP, FDA, and HALAL. This allows our products to not only be safe but also retain their authentic taste, catering to a wide range of international preferences.

This article details the comprehensive juice manufacturing process for export at A&B Vietnam, from raw material selection to processing, packaging, and global distribution.

Selecting And Inspecting Fruit Raw Materials

At A&B Vietnam, the journey to creating an international standard fruit juice begins with meticulous raw material selection.

To source the finest fresh fruits that offer natural flavor and complete nutritional value, we partner with cultivation areas compliant with standards like VietGAP (Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices) and GlobalGAP. These farms are managed under strict protocols for soil, water, and cultivation, minimizing pesticide residues and promoting sustainable local agriculture.

Furthermore, our inspection process enforces strict criteria for Brix levels (total soluble solids including sugar, acids, vitamins, and minerals), vitamin content, freshness, and microbial safety to ensure every product meets global export standards.

With this foundation of standardized raw materials, A&B Vietnam ensures every product originates from clean, safe, and nutrient-rich sources, ready for the advanced cleaning and preparation phase.

Cleaning And Preliminary Processing

Before entering the main processing stage, fruit materials undergo thorough cleaning and preparation to remove impurities, microorganisms, and pesticide residues. This is a critical step to ensure the final product retains its natural flavor while meeting international safety standards. A&B Vietnam utilizes a multi stage washing technology that combines ozone and UV light for optimal cleaning efficiency.

The preliminary processing sequence includes:

• Initial Washing: To remove soil, dry leaves, and external debris.
• Ozone Soaking: To disinfect and reduce chemical residues from plant protection products.
• High Pressure Washing with UV: For deep cleaning and comprehensive sterilization.
• Manual & Machine Sorting: To separate qualified fruits for processing.

Once cleaning and preparation are complete, the raw materials are ready for the crushing and extraction of pure juice concentrate.

Processing Crushing And Juice Extraction

After cleaning, the fruit moves to our industrial crushing and pressing system, a key step in unlocking the wholesome essence from every pulp.

Our modern crushing system uniformly breaks down the fruit’s cellular structure before the juice is extracted under high pressure ranging from 150 to 200 bar. By maintaining a controlled temperature of ≤40°C, this process preserves the fruit’s vibrant color, original flavor, and valuable nutritional content.

This technology ensures each drop of juice is not only pure but also harmoniously flavored, ready for the next stages of filtration and blending.

Filtration And Formula Blending

The filtration and blending stage is where the harmonious and standardized flavor profile of our juice drinks is perfected.

The filtration process completely removes pulp fibers and impurities, resulting in a clear and smooth liquid. Next, our engineers precisely adjust the Brix and pH levels to achieve a natural sweet-sour balance. Finally, water, sugar, and natural flavorings are blended according to a standard ratio, creating a delicious product that meets international quality requirements.

Example of a Blending Formula:

Through precise blending, each juice drink not only captures the essence of the fruit but also achieves perfect balance. The product then proceeds to pasteurization and sterilization to ensure absolute safety.

Pasteurization And Sterilization

To ensure our fruit juice is both safe for consumption and retains its natural flavor, A&B Vietnam employs advanced pasteurization and sterilization technologies. This process eliminates harmful microorganisms and deactivates spoilage causing enzymes while preserving the color, aroma, and nutritional value of the fruit.

Technical Specifications:

• Pasteurization: Approximately 85°C for 30 seconds, suitable for products with a shorter shelf life.
• UHT (Ultra High Temperature) Sterilization: Approximately 135°C for 2 seconds, extending the shelf life up to 9–12 months without requiring preservatives.

Thanks to this precise heat treatment technology, A&B Vietnam’s products maintain a fresh taste while meeting the strict requirements of export markets.

Aseptic Filling And Packaging

In the juice manufacturing process for export, the filling and packaging stage is a critical link in preserving the product’s purity after sterilization. At A&B Vietnam, this entire process is conducted using an aseptic filling system, which prevents microbial re-contamination and guarantees the absolute safety of every batch.

Packaging types used at A&B Vietnam:

• Aluminum Cans (250ml, 330ml, 500ml): Convenient, lightweight, and durable, ideal for international markets.
• PET Bottles (320ml, 500ml): Portable, impact-resistant, and cost effective for shipping.

All packaging materials comply with international food safety standards and are strictly controlled at every stage.

Quality Control And International Certifications

To ensure every can or bottle of fruit juice delivered to global customers meets a uniform standard, A&B Vietnam has established a rigorous in-house quality control system. In our on-site laboratory, products are tested for microbiological, sensory, and physicochemical parameters. The entire production process is operated in compliance with international standards, providing a transparent chain of custody for every shipment and building absolute trust with our import partners.
