Industrial pear juicing

The industrial process of pear juice involves a systematic procedure that integrates mechanical and heat treatments to extract and stabilize the pear juice. This process usually commences with the selection and pretreatment of raw materials. Fresh, mature pears are washed, sorted, and peeled and cored (the core is removed to reduce the risk of browning caused by tannins). Subsequently, the pears are crushed using high-speed mixers or hammer mills into small pieces to enhance the juice yield. Following this, juice extraction is carried out through pressing (such as screw pressing) or centrifugation. Then, clarification is performed to remove solids and impurities using methods like silica filtration or enzymatic treatment (for example, pectinase degrades pectin).
