Fresh Fruit Juice.

Bottled or canned fruit juices, just
as fresh-tasting as the juice of fresh
fruit and having none of the insipid-
ness of boiled sirups, are the latest
tendency in the manufacture of pre-
pared foods. Some are now on this
market and others are likely to ap-
pear any day. If the American pub
lie takes to them, as it appears it
will, bottled fruit juices of scores Of
fruits, from oranges and grapefruit
to pineapples and peaches, will soon
be sold at very low prices, says Sat
urday Evening Post.
Z Scientific food laboratories are
studying one fruit after another, and
establishing a formula for prepare
ton that will keep all the freshness
but prevent rapid deterioration. With
almost every fruit it is found there
is a certain degree of temperature
which is the critical point. Fresh
fruit juice heated to this critical tenn
lperature-160 degrees Fahrenheit, for
instance not give any boiled
taste; but the organisms that accom-
plish it's decay will be killed. Prompt
canning them gives a juice that will
keep.
f.. The, latest step undertaken is to
concentrate these juices and still
have them fresh. One successful
method is to evaporate half of the
water from the juice. Juice is fed
into revolving cylinder slightly in
clined. The liquid goes into the up
per end of the cylinder, makes a film
on the inside, and gradually works
down to drain at the bottom. A
current of air blown through the cyl
Under evaporates half the water from
the juice.
Such processes have opened up pos
sibilities for the marketing of fruit
that ordinarily is rejected as not mar
ketable. Small oranges - windfalls,
for example give the material at
low cost for bottled fresh juice.
