New technologies slash sugar levels in juice

Sugar levels are one of the few drawbacks in consuming 100% juice. Orange juice is an example as it is an excellent source of vitamin C, folate and potassium, but it contains more than 20 grams of sugar per cup, according to the US Department of Agriculture.


The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, points to data showing 12% of Americans meet fruit intake recommendations. So how can the other 88% increase their intake through 100% juice without consuming excess sugar?


Better Juice, founded in 2018, uses enzymes in non-GMO microorganisms to reduce fruit sugars by converting them into dietary fiber and non-digestible sugars. The company partnered with GEA, a supplier of food processing technology, to build, install and support Better Juice machines.
