Pure/Natural Juice
Sweetened Juice (85% juice & 10% TSS)
Blended Juices
Sometimes 2 or more juices are mixed to yield a well balanced
rightly flavored, highly palatable, and refreshing drink. Juices
are blended so as to utilise a
too sweet fruit (grape),
a bitter fruit (grapefruit),
too acidic or tart fruit (sour lime, galgal, etc),
bland and insipid tasting fruits like pear and apple, strongly
flavored fruits (guava and banana), e.g.
Grape 97% & lime 3%
Orange (50-75%) & Grapefruit (25-50%)

8. Fruit Juice Concentrate
Carbonated beverages are produced from this.
Contain pure juice with 32% TSS
(Orange, apple, pineapple and grapes are most popular)
Advantages
Reduced weight, bulk compared to juice
Base material for various formulations
Problems with Concentrates
Fermentation
Non enzymatic browning
Gel formation takes place
Produced by
Freezing & mechanical evaporation
Low temperature vacuum evaporation
High speed high temperature evaporation

9. Fruit Juice Powder
Free flowing hygroscopic powder produced by puff-drying, freeze
drying, vacuum drying, spray drying etc.
Long shelf life & soluble in cold water
Flavor loss compensated with flavor addition
Reconstitution yields full strength fruit juice drink

Production of Fruit Beverages
1. Fruit Selection
2. Sorting & Washing
3. Juice Extraction
4. Deaeration
5. Straining or Filtration
6. Clarification
7. Addition of sugar
8. Fortification
9. Preservation
10. Bottling

Clarification
Settling (lime juice, 3-6 months, fermentation is avoided,
colloidal gums, proteins, settles down)
Filtration (cotton pulp, wooven fiber cloth, wood pulp,
remove completely fine and collidal suspensions, filter aids
like bentolite, spanich clay etc, used)
Freezing (-18 C and then stored at room temperature for 5-
7 days, only for grape juice)
Cols storage (2-3 C for one month)
High temperature (82 C for one minute and cooled
rapidly and filter by filter aid, suitable for pomegranate juice)
