Synthetic drinks contain only water (about 88%) and
total carbohydrates (about 12%) and provide about
48 Kcal, whereas fruit based drinks contain vitamins
(A, B and C) and minerals (iron, calcium etc.) and
provide more calories.
Thus, fruit based drinks are far superior to
many synthetic drinks.
If synthetic (drinks) preparations are replaced by
fruit beverages, it would be a boon to the
consumers as well as to the fruit growers.

The following methods of clarification are used
12. Banana Puree and beverages
Ripe fruits → washing → Peeling → Passing through
pulper → Pulping → pasteurizing (80°C for 10min.) →
cooling → addition of enzyme (pectinex 0.5%) → leaving
overnight → separating juice from pulp → filtering
(vacuum pulp ) → clarified banana juice.
