Fruit always played an important role in human nutrition. However, before the 20th century, drinking squeezed fruit juice was the privilege of a few.
Welch was the first to reserve grape juice with heat treatment in America in 1869, followed by Muller-Thurgan in Switzerland in 1896.
Thus began the production of preserved fruit juices, which was followed by a huge development in the 20th century.
The role of vitamins and minerals in the human body was discovered at that time, which triggered substantial changes in eating habits.
Consequently, fruit consumption has become an everyday need.Due to the revolutionary development of technical equipment, the appearance of chemicals and biological substances (enzymes, clarifying and flavoring agents), and the applications of new technological procedures, especially the aseptic technique – which enabled the production of fruit juices without preservatives – of fruit juice production became widespread.
