A
concentrate is a form of
substance which has had the majority of its base component (in the case of a liquid: the
solvent) removed. Typically, this will be the removal of
water from a
solution or
suspension, such as the removal of water from
fruit juice. One benefit of producing a concentrate is that of a reduction in weight and volume for transportation, as the concentrate can be reconstituted at the time of usage by the addition of the solvent.
