Abstract: A melon juiceconcentrate is disclosed that may be used in production of melon-based beverages. Thesebeverages often have an undesirable cucumber flavour, but this is said to be absent frombeverages manufactured according to the invention. A liquid slurry of melon extract isprepared. This is adjusted by addition of citric acid to a pH of 4 or below, and treatedwith a pectinase enzyme. The enzyme-treated slurry is clarified by filtration to give aclear liquid, which is concentrated by heating. All process steps are performed underconditions that maintain the oxygen content of the slurry and liquids below 4 ppm. Thismay be achieved either by injection of nitrogen into all equipment open to the environment(a nitrogen blanket), or by using so-called bottom-fill equipment. The process steps andequipment are conventionally available, and are thus relatively inexpensive.
