Claim 0:
1. A method for producing a juice product comprising:
providing a feed juice;
separating the feed juice into a solids-rich fraction and a clarified juice fraction;
enzymatically treating the clarified juice fraction to hydrolyze disaccharides to monosaccharides;
passing the enzymatically treated clarified juice fraction through a membrane having a molecular weight cutoff between 190 to 210 Daltons to selectively separate high molecular weight nutrients to produce a high molecular weight nutrient (HMWN)-rich juice fraction and a first HMWN-depleted fraction, wherein the first HMWN-depleted fraction contains a greater amount of glucose and fructose than the HMWN-rich fraction; and,
bioconverting the glucose and fructose in the HMWN-depleted fraction to form oligosaccharides.
