1. A method of selectively recovering disaccharides from a fruit juice, the method comprising:
(a) separating solid components from the fruit juice;
(b) contacting the fruit juice with a Y zeolite that is active so as to have a higher relative selectivity for disaccharides than for monosaccharides and results in a hydrophobic disaccharide interaction; and
(c) releasing the disaccharides bound to the Y zeolite after the fruit juice has contacted the Y zeolite:,
wherein,
said Y zeolite is selected from zeolites having a Si/Al molar ratio of at least 10:1; and
said release comprising washing said Y zeolite with water or a mixture consisting of water and at least one of fructose and glucose.
