Fruit juice is prepared by mechanically squeezing or macerating the fruit without the application of heat or solvents. Juice from fresh fruits may be prepared in the home using a variety of hand or electric juicers whereas many commercial juices are filtered to remove fiber or pulp. Fruit juices are globally accepted as healthy and nourishing foods owing to their richness in vitamins (especially ascorbic acid [vitamin C]), polyphenols, and flavonoids contributing to good antioxidant properties, their low sodium level, and minimal fat content (Anonymous, 2013; MEYED, 2013; Tokuşoğlu and Hall, 2011). © 2015 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.EnglishAscorbic acidFruit juicesAntioxidant propertiesFat contentsFresh fruitsHigh pressure technologyLow sodiumPolyphenolsQuality enhancementVitamin CFruitsBook chapter10.1201/b17780
