Winter vacation is the students' favorite holiday, this is because not only can vacation, but also because the Spring Festival is coming. New Year's Eve is approaching, in the annual New Year's Eve dinner family feast, in addition to the rich New Year's Eve dinner, the essential thing is that we all like the drink - fruit juice. In the Spring Festival family dinner drink what juice drink good?

The Spring Festival is always avoided during the greasy, this time to a refreshing cup of juice drinks is actually the best choice, fruit juice can not only supplement our diet lack of minerals and vitamins, but also has a good flavor and great taste, easy to drink, by many students like.

Following our footsteps into the supermarket, you will find that the supermarket juice is also a variety of, "100% pure juice", "juice drinks", "fruit-flavored drinks "and so on let a person look dazzled straight pan confused. Many of these juices are crowned with health, natural gimmick to attract our attention, these drinks are really our impression of healthy juice? Let a person dazzled by the juice behind the hidden what?

The standard of natural fruit juice

Natural fruit juice, also called 100% juice, refers to the fruit is processed to make unfermented juice, or in the juice concentrate and the loss of natural water and the addition of an equal amount of water, with the original fruit pulp color, flavor and soluble solids content of the drink.

From the definition of natural fruit juice it can be seen to be called natural fruit juice, there are only two ways. One is to use fruit juice directly, the other is to use concentrated fruit juice in equal proportions to water. Therefore, we will find in the natural fruit juice ingredients are generally only concentrated fruit juice and pure water, no flavor, color and other additives.

But not all fruits are suitable for natural fruit juice, such as hawthorn, apricot and so on, their pure juice is too acidic, you need to modulation. Therefore, in the national "general rules of beverage", natural fruit juice is allowed to add sugar or acidifier, but both can not be added at the same time. If we find both sugar and acidifier in the ingredient list of fruit juice when we buy it, then it is not natural fruit juice.

"Juice drink" is really fruit juice?

Juice drinks are drinks made by adding water, sugar, juice and sweeteners, acidulants and other modifications to the juice. As long as the juice content is greater than 10% can be called "juice drinks", it is compared with natural fruit juice, not only add a lot of water and additives, and juice content is also less poor. Juice drinks, although only more than natural fruit juice "drink" two words, but its nutritional value and natural drinks compared to a small amount of witch.

Does the super-tasty orange really have pulp?

The fact that there is pulp in the drink does not mean that the juice content is high. Many students prefer fruit juice with pulp, thinking it must be full of juice. I don't know with pulp juice also belongs to the "juice drink", and its thick texture is not from the pulp, but the students can not imagine carrageenan, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and other thickening agents.

"Fruit drinks" and "juice drinks" are like twins, making it difficult to distinguish between them. Although both are made of water, sugar, acidifier, etc., but the fruit drink is second to the juice drink, "fruit drink" for their own requirements are very low, fruit juice content of more than 5% can be. If you're unlucky enough to buy an "orange drink", the juice from the orange will be much less.

The "fruit-flavored drinks" you make?

If you're buying a drink and you find a "fruit-flavored drink" with a certain fruit printed on the bottle, such as an apple-flavored drink, it means that the drink probably doesn't have a penny to do with the fruit, but simply has the flavor of the fruit. In its ingredient list you will find fruit-flavored drinks are sugar or sweeteners, acidulants, fruit juice, food flavors and other raw materials to blend and become. General fruit juice content of less than 5%, and some may not even contain any fruit juice ingredients, purely with food additives blended.

Clever selection of juice has a wonderful trick

In the purchase of bottled juice, students must open their eyes to see the name of the drink and the list of ingredients, if the name of the juice labeled "beverage" word, the nature of its juice has been greatly reduced. In addition, it should be noted that the business in order to confuse the audience will often be "drink" two words marked very small, or written in an inconspicuous place, so students in the purchase of juice must keep their eyes peeled, choose the right juice for themselves.
