How to Make Apple Juice

In our region, apples are certainly the most popular fruit that can be found in almost every household, and apple juice is a favorite drink that we gladly prepare and serve to the family. We can use this fruit in a thousand different ways and it is extremely suitable for our bodies.

Apple juice is obtained by maceration and squeezing apples. The squeezed juice can be further treated with enzymatic and centrifugal purification, all to remove starch and pectin that keep small particles in suspension. It is then pasteurized for packaging and further dehydrated until concentrated.
Due to the complex and expensive equipment required for juice clarification, it is rarely made at home, so we tend to make cloudy juices, while clear ones are usually produced commercially.

The method of fruit grinding is used to make natural, cloudy juices and the most commonly used apple varieties are Ajdared, Jonagold, and gold delis. Jonagold and gold delis ripen in the same period (at the beginning of September) and have approximately the same properties, and the cloudy juice of the Jonagold variety shows the highest values ​​of vitamin C. The maximum utilization of an apple, that is, the amount of juice we can get from an apple is up to 40% of the consumed mass.
