Book excerpt: This book reviews the fruit juice and fruit beverage industry (including nectars) from grower to distributor, including fruit handling and processing, chemistry and characterization, analysis, quality control, nutritional value and packaging. Many changes have occurred in the fruit juice and beverage markets since the first edition of this book appeared, and these are reflected in a substantial revision of the original text, together with three new chapters. One of these covers the formulation and performance characteristics of sports drinks which have undergone rapid growth in recent years and now feature in beverage markets worldwide. The second new chapter on water and effluent treatment in juice processing addresses the concern of the beverage industry to obtain water of a suitable standard, despite the deterioration in water quality which has occurred in many countries. This chapter also covers the subject of effluent management and treatment.
