The present application for patent relates to the field of fluid sterilization and more specifically to devices for the sterilization of fluids that are held in reservoirs as well as sterilization of fluids while they are being delivered. The present application used UVC sterilization radiation to achieve sterilization.

A method of processing raw sugar cane juice, comprising: reducing the pH of the sugar cane juice to a pH at which microbiological activity is substantially eliminated; separating chlorophyll from the sugar cane juice; separating particles having a diameter greater than 0.5 microns from the sugar cane juice; denaturing polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the sugar cane juice by pasteurisation; separating the denatured polyphenol oxidase from the sugar cane juice.

The present invention provides a novel Pichia kluyveri strain (CCTCC NO: M 2015626) and the method of using this new strain to produce fermented nonalcoholic red bayberry juice. The method comprises incubating Pichia kluyveri CCTCC NO: M 2015626 with red bayberry juice in a fermentation process to make the fermented nonalcoholic juice, which includes an aerobic, anaerobic and a low temperature fermentation. The fermented bayberry juice of the present invention has bright color, low alcohol content (<0.5%) and high nutritional values. It maintains the characteristic fruity flavor of red bayberries with added mellow taste and aroma from the fermentation.

A method for processing sugarcane juice from raw sugarcane stalks to produce various forms of a natural sugarcane juice product preserves policosanols naturally occurring in the raw sugarcane stalks, resulting in policosanol-rich natural sugarcane juice-based products such as a drinking beverage, a concentrated sweetening agent, and a nutraceutical product. The method may include steps of providing sugarcane stalks having high policosanol concentrations; extracting sugarcane juice from the sugarcane stalks via a series of roller mills; filtering the extracted sugarcane juice; stabilizing the pH of the juice in a non-acidic solution of calcium hydroxide; flocculating the sugarcane juice to remove undesirable impurities; optionally, evaporating the sugarcane juice to form a policosanol-rich sugarcane juice concentrate and extracting the sugarcane juice concentrate from the evaporator.
