Concentrated fruit juice,
is a relatively new sweetener, and one that is rapidly gaining popularity
among manufacturers. It is highly refined, and at 68% soluble sugar,
is relatively concentrated. The percentage of fructose to glucose or
sucrose will vary according to the fruit from which it is derived. Through
reduction, filtration and evaporation, the color, acidity, and most
of the flavor are removed, leaving an end product with little similarity
to the original juice. It's preference to white sugar is debatable.
Concentrated fruit juice can still cause erratic blood sugar if consumed
in large doses. The food industry uses fruit juice concentrates in jams,
canned fruits, beverages and some baked goods.
