INTRODUCTION

Apple Juice is one of the important nutritive non-carbonated fruit  juice  which is most vital for human body.  It  keeps  the people, young, old, children of different age, healthy. It is a suitable natural drink and very good for consumption purpose. It is a substitute for tea, coffee, synthetic cold drink, carbonated beverage, alcoholic beverage etc.

In India, cold drinks are in demand practically throughout the year. Among these, fruit juices have an important  place. Being  rich in essential minerals, vitamins and  other  nutritive factors, they are quite popular.  Besides, they are delicious and have universal appeal unlike other beverages.

The  nutritive value of real fruit beverages is far  greater than  that  of  synthetic products which  are  at  present  being bottled and sold in large quantities throughout the country.  The annual   production  of  carbonated  beverages   like   lemonade, orangeade, strawberry, lime juice, etc. as well as various  kinds of  sherbet and other artificially flavoured beverages runs  into several   million  bottles.   If  real  fruit  juices  could   be substituted for these synthetic preparations, it would be a  boon to  the  consumer  as well as to the  fruit  grower.   There  is, therefore, great scope in the country for the production of fruit juices and other fruit-based beverages.

With the  rapid progress in fruit farming  that  has  taken place  during the last two decades, fresh fruit juices are  being increasingly  sold by vendors in some of the larger  towns.   The demand  for fresh juices is on the increase, but these cannot  be had  easily,  when the fruits are out of  season.   Fruit  juices have,  therefore, to be preserved in a form in which they can  be made available to the public during the off-season.
