Fruit juices and fruit juice products having enhanced flavor and extended quality shelf-life. In particular, the present invention relates to fruit juices and fruit juice beverages that are capable of being stored in non-refrigerated conditions for extended periods of time without the development of off-flavors and/or off-taste. The fruit juices and fruit juice beverages comprise a juice having reduced levels of off-flavor compounds and/or reduced levels of precursors of off-flavors thereby making a juice which tastes better immediately. Additionally, since a large amount of the off-flavors and/or precursors are removed, the off-flavors will not develop, thereby allowing the juice to be stored under non-refrigerated conditions for one or more months without significant degradation of the flavor of the juice. |
