apple juicing
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2015 9:58 pm
previously I have used a steamer to extract juice from apples
it was OK
sterilises the juice nicely, but does it affect the taste?
I have inherited a "juicer". It has taken a while getting used to how it works - it grates, spins and sieves. The sieve gets clogged very quickly and seems to be the key to the process - i.e. stop every half-dozen apples and clean the sieve.
anyroad - what i have noticed is that the first juice that come off is pale green... but it soon turns brown. Oxidising presumably. Is there any way to stop this? do sulphites somewhere in the process do the trick... or is it something we just have to live with? Do commercial producers extract their juice in an oxygen-free environment or what?
