1985). Fruit Juices Are Essential Products Extracted From Fresh Fruits Such As
Orange, Mango, Pineapple, Grapes Etc. It Is Defined As The Clear Or Uniformly
Cloudy Unfermented Liquid Recovered From Sound Fruits By Pressing Out The
Liquid Content Or Through Mechanical Means (Health And Reineccius, 1986). Initially,
The Bulk Of Fruits Were Consumed Fresh But Now Most Fruits Are Processed Into
Juices, Syrups, Jams, Jellies Etc So As To Ensure Their Availability All Year
Round. Most Fruits Are Perishable And As A Result Cannot Be Stored For Very
Long Period, While Some Are Seasonal And Cannot Be Available When They Are Out
Of Season. In Nigeria, The Availability Of Fruits Is Short-Lived Due To Their
Seasonal And Highly Perishable Nature, Example Of The Fruits Include Pea,
Pawpaw, Orange, Velvet Tamarind (NIFST, 2002).
