Juice chemical syrup

Liquid flavors are not always simple mixtures of flavor chemicals dissolved in single, analytically well behaved solvents. Flavorists often combine diluted forms of chemicals to reach their final goal. Generally ethanol is the solvent of choice for most applications, but propylene glycol, glycerin, triacetin, benzyl alcohol, triethyl citrate, fruit juices, sugar syrups, water and other liquids and solids often find their way into flavor mixtures. A particularly difficult flavor... 

In the food production and OTC (Over the Counter) Drug industries, like milk, soups, cough syrup, and juices, outside balanced seals are quite popular. Their design permits easy cleaning of the equipment without pump disassembly. These seals are prominent in the chemical processing industry because all metal components in the seal are located outside the fluid. This avoids problems of galvanic eorro.sion. 

The raw juice exiting the diffuser is a murky dark gray solution occluded by colloidal materials from the ruptured beet tissue, small pieces of cossettes, and fine soil that escaped the fluming and washing processes. It is microbiologicaUy and chemically unstable and unsuitable for concentration and crystallization. Common parlance assigns juice to more dilute process streams and syrup (or occasionally liquid) to steams with solids concentrations... 

Fructose syrup. In addition to the glucose/fructose syrups mentioned above, a fructose syrup has been produced using inulin as a source. Inulin is the fructose analogue of starch, and the chicory root is the standard source for commercial hydrolysis. Fructose syrups are usually too expensive for routine use in beverage production but they have been employed where a particular claim is to be made for fructose. They have also been used for the adulteration of fruit juices as they are chemically difficult to detect. Detection is possible at the sub-molecular level by techniques such as stable isotope ratio measurement. Fructose is also manufactured using sucrose as a starting material.
