Project description
New desugarising juice technology
Natural sugars contained in fresh fruits and vegetables damage human health just as much as added sugars, according to recent research. The Better Juice technology proposes a low-cost method to eliminate natural sugars without affecting the taste and organoleptic properties of the product. The technology can be applied to existing production lines in the food and beverage industry with an estimated production cost of EUR 0.1 per litre of fruit/vegetable matrix. The EU-funded Better Juice project aims to design their industrial prototype after detailed market research to plan their certification procedure, business model and commercialisation strategy.
