"Concentrate" refers to a highly-concentrated form of a liquid substance, often used as a base ingredient in various beverages. In this context, it specifically relates to fruit juice concentrates, which are made by extracting and removing most of the water from fresh fruits. The resulting product is a thick, syrupy liquid that can be stored for longer periods of time than fresh juice. To make a beverage from concentrate, the consumer typically dilutes it with water or carbonated water and sometimes adds sweeteners or flavorings. Common examples of fruit juice concentrates include limeade, lemonade, orange juice, apple juice, and grape juice concentrates.
