Apple juice processing and manufacturing process
Apple juice can be divided into clear juice and cloudy juice. Their production processes are similar, including fruit sorting, crushing, washing, juice extraction, clarification/homogenization, mixing, sterilization, filling and cooling. Their difference lies in a process. Homogenize it to make cloudy juice, and clarify it to make transparent juice.

Advantages and disadvantages of apple juice
While whole apples are very nutritious, apple juice has both pros and cons. The juicing process concentrates the hydrating properties of apples and retains some beneficial plant compounds. However, it also removes the fiber found in whole apples and is less satiating, making overconsumption easier. The advantages of apple juice include its hydrating effects, polyphenol content, and palatability for those struggling to consume whole fruits. Disadvantages are the lack of fiber, rapid calorie/sugar intake leading to potential weight gain, and reduced feelings of fullness compared to whole apples. Moderation is key when incorporating apple juice into an overall balanced diet.

sodium in diet
Despite what many people think, most dietary sodium (more than 70%) comes from eating packaged and prepared foods—not from table salt added to food during cooking or eating. There is too much sodium in the food supply, and Americans who want to reduce their sodium intake may have a hard time doing so. That’s why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is working with the food industry to rationally reduce the amount of sodium in a variety of foods. Although sodium may already be present in many packaged foods when you purchase them, you can lower your daily sodium intake by using the Nutrition Facts label.
