Healing power of juice

Human nutrition is possible only if sufficient numbers in its diet of plant foods, most of which should be fruits and vegetables. 
However, providing year-round fresh fruit and vegetables can not be partly due to imperfect methods of storage and lack of modern storage facilities, but mainly because of the extremely active physiological processes occurring in them, which leads to rapid deterioration. For a long time, fruits and vegetables can be stored in processed form. Fruit and vegetable juices - a rich source of sugars: glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, raffinose, tselobiozy, galactose. The juices of pome fruits (apples, pears, quince) dominates fructose, of stone (peaches, apricots, plums, cherries, etc.) - glucose and sucrose. In berry juices high content of glucose and fructose and - sucrose.

The content of vitamins in the juice is in direct proportion to their content in raw materials (fruits and vegetables) and on the observance of the technological requirements for processing. Good juice obtained from fresh, just ripe, healthy materials. However, this basic rule in practice often forget and use the juice for cooking residues, especially frequently fruit and berries, ie out of whole fresh fruits prepare compote, jam, and of what remains (with dented, crushed, over-ripe) - juice. The rapid destruction of the vitamins may indicate the following example. In the freshly collected whole strawberries contain an average of 40 mg% of vitamin C. The juice as it will remain 15 - 20 mg%, as in the process of technological operations are unavoidable losses due to oxidation. If whole fresh berries polezhat at room temperature for 6-8 h, the vitamin C content in them will decrease by about half.
