What You Need to Know
The process employs 0.2 µm membrane filters to physically separate bacteria, yeasts, molds, and spores from the liquid phase. By operating at ambient to chilled temperatures, the viscosity is controlled, reducing filter fouling and preserving the sensory attributes of the juice. The absence of thermal input maintains volatile flavor compounds and prevents the formation of heat‑induced off‑odors.
