Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for the production of a kiwi juice while preserving the original color. The process includes peeling the kiwis, subjecting the kiwis to a pressure treatment at between about 100 and 800 MPa for a period of at least 10 seconds, allowing the kiwis to stand for at least about 24 hours at refrigeration temperature, crushing the kiwis into a puree, and clarifying the puree in order to obtain a kiwi juice therefrom. The juice can be pasteurized and filled into containers. The present invention also relates to the kiwi juice that is made by the process.
