CARBONATED FRUIT BEVERAGES FROM SELECTED


FRUITS (MANGO, GRAPES, LIME, AND ORGANGE)
1. INTRODUCTION
Carbonated (aerated) soft drinks with synthetic flavors in a variety of flavors are
produced and marketed under soft drinks category in the form of ready-to-serve (RTS)
beverages in the country. The share of fruit juice based beverages is very small compared to
synthetic carbonated drinks/soda waters. Fruits which are natural sources of a wide variety of
nutrients such as vitamins, pigments, minerals etc., are attributed with several health benefits.
Carbonated fruit juice beverages shall have better nutritional quality over the synthetic
aerated waters. Technology for carbonated fruit juice beverages containing fruit juice/pulp
will be advantageous to the consumers and farmers by increasing the consumption of fruits.
Manufacture of fruit juice based carbonated RTS beverages is considered beneficial as it
contains fruit pulp/juice.

2. INSTALLED CAPACITY
Capacity of the unit : 10000 bottles /shift
Working : 300 days per annum

3. RAW MATERIAL
Fruit juice/pulp extracted from mature ripe fruits is used for the production of carbonated
fruit juice beverages. Almost all varieties of the pulpy fruits can be used for the extraction and
preparation of fruit juice base. The fruits to be used for the production are processed and used
for the production. The pulp/juice can either be extracted at the unit or purchased from other
manufacturers, further processed, formulated and converted into a base suitable for
carbonation plant. The fruit pulp/juice is pretreated and stabilized with selected pretreatments
and process. The fruit juice beverage base is used for the production of carbonated fruit juice
beverages. Carbonated soft drinks (CSD) bottles (200-300 ml) are to be obtained periodically
depending upon the sales volume.

4. TECHNOLOGY
The fruit juice base containing fruit pulp/juice is pretreated, blended and processed to
achieve the desired quality. The fruit juice base is homogenized, carbonated and bottled
under controlled conditions. The sealed bottles are labelled, coded, and bulk packed either in
shrink wrap or in corrugated carton boxes. After inspection and quality check, the beverages
are marketed. The unit has to be operated and maintained with good manufacturing practices and
HACCP protocols.
