Raw material behavior
Mulberry fruit is soft and dark-colored, with color and oxidation risk similar to some berry projects.
Mulberry processing line design focuses on dark pigment protection, soft fruit handling, seed and skin control, juice or puree routing and aseptic filling.

Mulberry juice, puree, pulp, concentrate and aseptic ingredient.
Color retention, soft fruit damage, seed or skin texture, oxidation and filtration.
| Finished Product | Process Route | Packaging Option | Key Engineering Concern |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mulberry puree | Gentle washing, sorting, pulping, deaeration and sterilization | Aseptic drum, bottle, pouch, jar or frozen pack | Color retention, soft fruit damage, seed or skin texture, oxidation and filtration. |
| Mulberry juice | Crushing, extraction, finishing, deaeration and pasteurization | Aseptic drum, bottle, pouch, jar or frozen pack | Color and pulp stability |
| Mulberry concentrate | Juice or puree feed, evaporation and aseptic filling | Aseptic bulk or chilled/frozen ingredient pack | Brix and aroma retention |
Reference route: Receiving -> Washing -> Sorting -> Pulping or extraction -> Deaeration -> Heat treatment -> Filling
Clean gently.
Remove damaged fruit.
Choose puree or juice route.
Protect dark color.
Select by viscosity and package.
Use aseptic, bottle, pouch or frozen route.
Gentle cleaning for soft fruit.
Controls pulp texture.
Helps protect color.
| Parameter | Typical Reference | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material | Mulberry fruit is soft and dark-colored, with color and oxidation risk similar to some berry projects. | Defines washing, sorting, trimming and extraction route. |
| Finished product | Mulberry juice, puree, pulp, concentrate and aseptic ingredient. | Determines pulping, heat treatment, evaporation and filling. |
| Capacity | Hourly intake and operating hours should be stated as preliminary references. | Capacity changes all equipment modules and utilities. |
| Brix, pH and viscosity | Confirm natural Brix, pH, viscosity, pulp or particle content and heat sensitivity. | These decide pump, heat exchanger, evaporator and filler selection. |
| Packaging | Aseptic drum, bottle, pouch, jar or frozen pack | Changes sterilization, filling, cooling and storage logic. |
| Utilities | Steam, power, compressed air, cooling water, drainage and CIP. | Utility limits can change practical plant capacity. |
Choose puree for body and juice for beverage use; add evaporation only for concentrate.
The main design point is dark color protection during pulping, deaeration and heat treatment.
Yes, but each finished product should be listed separately. Shared washing or preparation may be possible, while pulping, heat treatment, evaporation and filling can change by product.
Send fresh raw material intake per hour or day, shift hours, seasonal supply and expected packaging speed. Treat early values as reference only until engineering review.
Typical options include Aseptic drum, bottle, pouch, jar or frozen pack. The final choice should match shelf life, storage and sales channel.
Steam, power, compressed air, cooling water, drainage, CIP expectation, factory layout and automation level are needed before final quotation.
Share raw material, finished product, hourly capacity, Brix, viscosity, packaging, utilities, factory layout, automation requirement and timeline. Values can be preliminary references for early engineering review.
