Abstract
The invention relates to a process for preserving lemon juice without the use of sulfite agents. The process uses sodium benzoate and optionally ascorbic acid, glucose oxidase, sodium acid pyrophosphate, or sodium hexametaphosphate, or an inert gass, such as carbon dioxide, helium or nitrogen or any combination thereof. Non-refrigerated shelf-life of 12 months or more before browning occurs is thereby achieved.
