Sugarcane Juice Beverage

Abstract

Freshly extracted sugarcane juice is a very popular drink in India. Presently, the juice is being extracted using hand/power operated crusher which cannot be stored for a couple of hours due to its fast deteriorating quality. Sugarcane juice is quite nutritious as it contains natural sugars, minerals like iron, magnesium, phosphorous, calcium and organic acids e.g. malic acid, succinic acid, acotinic acid, amino acid, protein, starch, gums, waxes, non-sugar phosphatides. The sugarcane juice preserved and packed in 200 mL glass bottle has a good storage life and is available during off-season also.
