Grape Juice and Beverages
Introduction
Grapes are cultivated in many countries of the world. India produces only about 2.77 per cent of the total world production. However, in productivity India stood first with 23.50 tonnes /ha.
Grape is one of the most perishable fruits and during the process of distribution and marketing, substantial losses are incurred which ranges from a slight loss of quality to total spoilage. Processing is an alternative method of preservation of this fruit for long durations.
Preparation of juices and beverages is being practiced for long. Grape juice may be consumed as 100 % pure juice or may be blended with other juices for improving taste, sugar: acid blend and to improve its acceptability.

1. Cream of Tarter is actually a white, odorless powder and chemically known as Potassium Hydrogen Tartrate, or Potassium Bitartrate.
2. It is formed from sediment left over in barrels after winemaking process.
3. Cream of tartar has multiple uses in food preparation including stabilizing egg whites by increasing their heat tolerance and volume, and preventing sugary syrups, chocolates and candies from crystallizing.
4. Cream of tartar poses a risk for people with kidney disease due to its extremely high potassium content (495 mg per teaspoon). Our daily requirement for potassium is 3500 mg.
5. Cream of tartar also poses laxative effect.
