Abstract
Apparatus for concentrating fruits which preserves the original coloration and freshness of flavor and retains the structural integrity of the fruit for subsequent preserving or canning operations. The apparatus consists of a first high vacuum chamber means heating the chamber to a temperature to maintain the fruit at a temperature below the boiling temperature of water at a maintained vacuum and a second vacuum chamber in the form of a rotating cylinder such that the juices in the fruit cells migrate to the surface of the fruit and coat the walls of the cylinder, and means heating the second chamber to a temperature above the boiling point of water at the maintained vacuum to boil off this coating.
