Orange, Mango, Pineapple, Grapes Etc. It Is Defined As The Clear Or Uniformly
Cloudy Unfermented Liquid Recovered From Sound Fruits By Pressing Out The
Liquid Content Or Through Mechanical Means (Health And Reineccius, 1986). Initially,
The Bulk Of Fruits Were Consumed Fresh But Now Most Fruits Are Processed Into

Round. Most Fruits Are Perishable And As A Result Cannot Be Stored For Very

Seasonal And Highly Perishable Nature, Example Of The Fruits Include Pea,
Pawpaw, Orange, Velvet Tamarind (NIFST, 2002).
