SVAM Agrofoodex Pvt Ltd. serves Juice and juice products which represent a very important segment of the total processed fruit industry. Juice products are being marketed as refrigerated, shelf-stable, and frozen, in a variety of packages with increased emphasis on functionality, health attributes, new flavors or blends, and in some cases fortified with vitamins and minerals. High-quality juice operations are dependent upon a source of high-quality raw material.

Most fruit juices are excellent sources of vitamin C, several are good sources of carotene and many contain moderate amounts of pyridoxine, inositol, folic acid and biotin. Fruit juice is regarded as source of energy due to their rich carbohydrate content. The organic acids present in the fruit juice plays a significant role in the maintenance of the acid-base balance in the body.

The process starts with sound fruit, freshly harvested from the field or taken from refrigerated or frozen storage. Thorough washing is usually necessary to remove dirt and foreign objects and may be followed by a sanitation step to decrease the load of contaminants. Sorting to remove decayed and moldy fruit is necessary to make sure that the final juice will not have a high microbial load, undesirable flavors, or mycotoxin contamination. For most fruits, preparation steps such as pitting and grinding is required prior to juice extraction. Heating and addition of enzymes might also be included before the mash is transferred to the extraction stage. Juice extraction can be performed by pressing or by enzymatic treatment followed by decanting. The extracted juice will then be treated according to the characteristics of the final product.
