Project Profile: Fruit Juice

Introduction

Fruit juices are produced and consumed for their refreshing character and nutritional qualities being rich in vitamins and minerals and having regulatory functions to the body systems; such as augmenting of alkaline reserve of the blood and proper functioning of blood vessels, including capillary, permeability and fragility as a result of contained falconoid. Juices also increase body retention of calcium, magnesium, nitrogen and are also good sources of quick energy.

Fruit Juices were considered products for the middle class and the affluent. That segregation is no more valid. Fruit Juices are consumed by all except those who cannot afford to buy any drink. An NCAER study says that 91% soft drink sales are made to the lower, middle and upper middle classes. The Soft drinks/ Fruit Juice industry has been urging the government to categories aerated waters (soft drinks) equitably with other consumer products of mass consumption and remove special excise duty.

Extracted juice is then filtered to remove seeds and fibres. Thereafter, various ingredients such as sugar, additives, preservatives, flavours etc. are added and this mixture is stirred till uniform solution is formed. They are standardized as per the organization specifications, filtered, homogenized, pasteurized and filled in sterilized bottles, followed by coding, cooling and packing of the product. Products will be stored in cool dry store before distribution.
