Konzentraten
Konzentrate, in science and industry, denotes substances that have a higher concentration of solutes relative to a reference state. In chemistry, a concentrate refers to a solution with a high mass fraction of solute or a material from which solvent has largely been removed. The term is often used in contrast to dilute forms or solutions and to the process of concentration, which increases solute concentration by evaporation, distillation, filtration, or membrane separation. Common concentration units include mass fraction, molarity, molality, and normality; acid and base concentrates are typical examples, such as sulfuric acid concentrate (~98% w/w) or hydrochloric acid concentrates (various percentages).
In the food industry, concentrates are products from which water or another solvent has been removed to
Production methods: evaporation, freeze concentration, vacuum concentration, distillation, reverse osmosis, and other separation techniques.
Safety: handling concentrated substances requires appropriate safety measures; corrosion, causticity, and inhalation hazards; storage in compatible
Regulation: labeling standards differentiate concentrates from finished products; food-safe concentrates must meet food regulatory standards; chemical
