Juice nutrition

Kosher products cover a wide range of consumer products. In the food industry, beverages like teas and coffees, juices, nutritional supplements and dairy drinks are all available with the approval of the OU. The bakery industry produces cakes, muffins and breads that are kosher. Sweet products like gums, candies, yogurts and puddings are kosher. Cereals, soups, snack foods, etc., can be made a Kosher products. In some instances even toothpaste and cough medicines are available as Kosher products. Any one of these products that contain or require flavoring need to be supplied with Kosher flavors.

Commonly, a juice drink contains 10% fruit juice, which usually is a blend of several fruits. The 1990 Federal Nutrition and Labeling Act requites declaration of juice content so that the consumer can make a more informed choice (3). With cocktails and juice drinks, added sugars, acids, flavorings, colorings, and nutrients can be used to provide a wide variety of stable products of uniform quaUty. Because drinks requite less juice than 100% juice products, the drinks can be sold at a lower price. 

Early bottling of flavored carbonated beverages was limited by spoilage, poor flavor, and color stabiUty. Improvements and innovations in bottling equipment, glass manufacturing, stable flavors and ingredients, crown closures, and transportation resulted in the rapid expansion of the bottled soft drink industry. Soft drinks consist of carbonated water, nutritive or nonnutritive sweeteners, acidulants, preservatives, flavors, juices, and color. 

The colorant is used at 2—50 ppm as pure color to shade margarine, shortening, butter, cheese (4 ), baked goods, confections, ice cream, eggnog, macaroni products, soups, juices, and beverages (58). Its chief advantages over other colorants are its nutritional value and its abiUty to dupHcate natural yellow to orange shades.

Rogosa-type medium (60) made as follows 2% Tryptone (Difco), 0.5% yeast extract (Difco), 0.5% peptone (Difco), 0.5% glucose, 0.005% Tween 80 (Nutritional Biochemicals Corp.), and 2% agar (Difco) in a filtered or centrifuged fourfold dilution (with water) of tomato juice (containing no preservatives). The medium is adjusted to pH 5.5 with HC1 before adding agar. 

It has long been commonplace to determine the concentration of free amino acids in the beverage industries (e.g., wine, beer, fruit juice). In recent years, it has become more common to analyze for free amino acid content in other food and nutritional products. This is due, in part, to the growing practice of supplementing nutritional products with added free amino acids. Since these free amino acids are often being added in response to specific/special nutritional requirements of a target population, it is very important to ensure the fortification levels in these products. 

Concentrated soft drinks became very important during, and in the early years following, the Second World War. Many were based on concentrated orange juice, which was widely available as a nutritional supplement, and were packed in flat-walled medicine bottles. 

The third major area for development is that of soft drinks containing ingredients that enable some special nutritional or physiological claim to be made for the product. This will usually be an energy claim because soft drinks are an ideal vehicle for delivering carbohydrates, some in specially formulated mixtures, in a readily and rapidly assimilable form. Of the other nutrients that can be included, fruit juice, vitamins and minerals are the most common, but some products contain significant levels of protein or even fibre (as non-metabolisable carbohydrate). 

Fruit juice is important in human nutrition far beyond its use as a refreshing source of liquid. Many fruits contain a variety of minor ingredients, particulary vitamins and minerals, as well as carbohydrates, which are the predominant solid component. Although fruit contains small amounts of protein and fat, these are not important ingredients of juices. 

Whatever the nutritional interest, it should be noted that changes occur during storage, particularly to the minor components of juices and particularly under adverse conditions (e.g. light, increasing temperature, time). 

It could be said that freshly pressed fruit juice provides the truly natural answer to all the requirements of a soft drink thirst quenching, fresh, healthy, flavour-some, nutritional and, of course, natural. So why should it have been necessary to look any further towards the creation of different flavour types and the myriad of drink var ieties that has appealed over the years in beverage markets around the world Necessity, being the mother of invention, has been the driving force in all this. In the early years of the industry there was a real necessity for soft drinks manufacturers, in order to stay in business, to control a major threat to their trade, that of microbial fermentation and spoilage of the bottled product. 

Fruit juices, whether of natural strength or concentrated, are materials of commerce, to be sold direct or for use in a variety of food and drink applications. It is essential that they conform to legislative requirements for authenticity and purity, whether for labelling purposes (in avoidance of misleading statements), nutritional standards or in respect of food safety in the final product. 

Some readers may recall that the product was a 60°Brix concentrated orange juice packed in 8 fluid ounce (200 ml) medical flats - glass bottles with flat sides and rolled-on metal caps with cardboard inserts. The product was produced for and distributed by the UK government as a means of enhancing the nutritional intake of babies and young children, particularly in respect of their vitamin C needs. 

Soft drinks and fruit juices are usually consumed to quench thirst or as a sociable activity, rather than for their nutritional content. However, they always provide dietary water and, depending on formulation, can also contribute significant...
