Pineapple juice is a juice made from pressing the natural liquid out from the pulp of the pineapple (a fruit from a tropical plant).[1] Numerous pineapple varieties may be used to manufacture commercial pineapple juice, the most common of which are Smooth Cayenne, Red Spanish, Queen, and Abacaxi.[1] In manufacturing, pineapple juice is typically canned.[1]

It is used as a single or mixed juice beverage, and for smoothies, cocktails, culinary flavor, and as a meat tenderizer.[1] Pineapple juice is a main ingredient in the piña colada and tepache.

## History

[edit]

There is no record of how or when pineapples arrived in Hawaii, with some accounts of pineapples being washed ashore from a Spanish or Portuguese shipwreck or brought ashore by sailors.[2] The fruit may have arrived with the Spanish years before the arrival of Captain James Cook in 1778,[3] but another source states the first pineapple was planted by Don Francisco de Paula Marin.[4] While Marin was a horticulturalist who introduced many new plants to Hawaii, he may not have been the first person to introduce pineapples to Hawaii, but did describe pineapple planting in his journals in 1813.[5]

Pineapple juice contributed to the success of the pineapple industry in the 1930s. In 1932, the Hawaiian Pineapple Company successfully developed a process of clarifying the juice, while capturing the aroma and flavor of the fruit.[6] Large-scale cultivation of pineapples led to the formation of a pineapple commerce association which had strict production limits on the canning of whole, cut and crushed pineapple. Although industry members had agreed on these limitations in a 1934 pool agreement, the industry turned to canning of pineapple juice to expand commercial opportunities, while taking advantage of fruit juice as a new trend in breakfast drinks.[6]

Pineapple juice is manufactured from ripe pineapples.[1][9] To clean pineapples before juicing, a brush and spray cleaning machine is used to remove stains, imperfections and pesticide residue.[10] After cleaning, the fruit is put into a pineapple peeling and extractor machine to obtain pulps which are put into a spiral juice extractor.[10] A juice fine filter is then used to remove all solids, fiber and colloidal particles from the pineapple juice.[1][10]

A vacuum degasser is used to remove the air in the pineapple juice. Removing the gas prevents the solids from floating. Degassing also helps to reduce foaming in packing and sterilization occurs in a heat exchanger. After this process, the sterilized pineapple juice is cooled to 50 °C (122 °F).[10] Pasteurizing pineapple juice stops the enzymes that cause browning.[1][9] The pasteurized pineapple juice is put in iron drums lined with aseptic aluminum-plastic composite bags.[9] After cooling, the pineapple juice is put into bottles or cans using a filling machine.[1][10]

Pineapple juice powder is made by spraying pineapple juice on tapioca maltodextrin and leaving it to dry.[11]

## Nutrition

[edit]

Pineapple juice is 84% water, 16% carbohydrates, and contains negligible fat and protein (table). In a 100 ml (g) reference amount, pineapple juice supplies 60 calories, with only manganese in significant content (53% of the Daily Value, DV), while vitamin C content is moderate (11% DV).

## Cooking

[edit]

Pineapple juice powder can be used in pies, cakes, muffins, scones, chutneys, jams, chilis, candies, sauces, and stews. Pineapple juice powder can be used to marinate chicken and fish.[11]

## Regulations

[edit]

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, manufactured and canned pineapple juice can have finely insoluble solids, although it cannot have coarse or hard substances or excessive pulp.[12] It can be sweetened with a dry nutritive carbohydrate sweetener.[12] In concentrated form, pineapple juice can be sweetened with a liquid.[12]
