Claim:
A process for providing an enhanced fruit juice supply, comprising: providing a fruit juice supply, the fruit juice supply having suspended solids and at least one naturally occurring component which detracts from the quality of the fruit juice supply; separating the fruit juice supply into a permeate juice liquid and a retentate containing a large percentage of the suspended solids of the fruit juice supply; passing the permeate juice liquid through an adsorption resin thereby removing from the permeate juice liquid a quantity of said naturally occurring component which detracts from the quality of the juice supply; collecting the juice liquid which has passed through the adsorption resin as an enhanced fruit juice supply; diafiltering the retentate to separate the retentate into a diafiltration permeate and a diafiltration retentate of a bland clouding agent byproduct having a reduced bitterant level; and combining the clouding agent byproduct with the enhanced fruit juice supply to form a cloudy juice product.
