Fruit Juice Processing Technologies and Their Impact on the Content of Bioactive Compounds—A Review of Current Approaches

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Fruit juices contain a variety of bioactive compounds (mainly polyphenols, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and vitamin C) with antioxidant properties. Traditional thermal processing methods may negatively affect the stability of these compounds, leading to reductions in polyphenol and anthocyanin content, decreased vitamin C levels, and antioxidant activity.
