Abstract
Disclosed is a method for recovering residual juice solids present in the extractor core or waste material from citrus juice extraction. In this method, citrus fruit is processed in a juice extraction and finishing system to provide a primary juice stream and extractor core or waste material containing rag, seeds, peel plugs and residual juice solids. Without adding water, the extractor core material is processed in a centrifugal filter to provide a secondary juice stream. The preferred citrus fruit is orange juice and the preferred extraction system is a reciprocating cup-type juice extractor.
