(BAT for Food, Drink and Milk Industries, June 2005)

Significant quantities of juice are produced from vegetable sources such as carrot, celery, beetroot and cabbage. In general, fresh vegetables are first washed and sorted before being coarsely milled and then pressed to extract the juice. Most vegetable juices have low acidity, i.e. pH>4.5, and therefore, they require a full sterilization process for preservation. Vegetable juices are sometimes acidified with organic or mineral acids to reduce the pH, so that a milder heat treatment such as pasteurization is then possible. Some low acidity juices are blended with high acid juices, such as tomato, rhubarb, citrus, pineapple or cabbage, so that they are acidic enough to only require pasteurization. Some vegetables may be blanched prior to acidifying and extraction. Root vegetables are usually peeled before maceration and extraction.
