A METHOD FOR VARYING THE VISCOSITY OF VEGETABLE OR FRUIT JUICES

摘要

A method (1) for varying the viscosity of fruit or vegetable juices, comprising the steps of feeding a triturated product to at least a refining stage (2); refining (2) the product; dividing a flow rate (Q) of juice exiting the refining stage into a primary flow rate (P) and a secondary flow rate (S); feeding the primary flow rate (P) to a decanting stage (4) to obtain a fibrous fraction (F) and a serous fraction (C); feeding the fibrous fraction (F) to a mixing stage (5); feeding the secondary flow rate (S) to the mixing stage (5); mixing the fibrous fraction (F) with the secondary flow rate of juice to obtain an enriched juice (A). The method (1) is characterised in that it comprises a step (6) of measuring the viscosity of the enriched juice (A) to control and manage operative parameters of the method which influence the viscosity itself.
