Hello, dear readers of the blog of a smart buyer! Today we will tast the apple juice drink “Sokovita”. Yes, yes, it is juice drink, and not just apple juice. What is the difference? Now let’s see. We will also make sure that not every drink with a beautiful apple on the package (label) can be safely bought with confidence that apple juice will really be in a pack (bank).

3. Place of purchase: “Bimarket”, st. Lebedeva-Kumach, 2/6

6. Ingredients: apple-apple juice, sugar syrup, glucose-fruit syrup, acidity regulator (citric and apple acid), concentrated natural aromatic-forming fruit substance apple, natural caramel liquid.
Well, how do you like? The product was produced according to TU, therefore it is not surprising that the composition of the usual, at first glance, juice is replete with an abundance of ingredients. Compare at least the composition of this juice with the compositions of the orange juice that we weashed or tomato other manufacturers. The difference on the face.
Sugar and glucose-fruit syrup is designed to dilute apple concentrate, and, of course, to replace the juice, which we would not really want to replace the juice itself.
We have already repeatedly stated about the unnecessority of citric acid, it is potentially dangerous for the human body, since it is now often produced from synthetic substances.
Concentrated natural aromatic-forming fruit substance of an apple-this, we understand, something like mashed potatoes. So why, in this case, add it if the pulp is formed in the production of apple juice?! It is incomprehensible.
Liquid caramel is a sugar kner, that is, burnt sugar. Cannot say that an absolutely harmless substance, since it has not finally established its effect on the human body.
In general, by and large, there is nothing dangerous in the product, but this product can also be called juice. Look, the manufacturer himself indicates that the mass fruit share is at least 10%. That is, maybe more, but not really believe. In the fact of juice in a drink about 10 with a penny of percent! And the difference between natural juice and juice drink is only 3-4 hryvnias.

9. Marking. There are no problems with the marking, you can verify this based on the photo of the composition. All data on the product and manufacturer are indicated. The date of production and the final date of consumption are applied by a marker in a specially designated place and are clearly visible.
10. Net mass (volume): 950ml (± 3%)
11. Gross weight in fact: 1036g weight gross drink Sober
12. The mass of packaging: 33g
Even if we would find information about the density of apple juice, it will still be impossible to clearly evaluate it by weight (volume), since the manufacturer used such an amount of ingredients that could “correct” the original number. Therefore, we will not evaluate the product according to this criterion. Although if you take one to one, it turns out 1003 grams.
13. Type and aroma. The color of the drink is amber, so apple juice can be, so you will not hold it here. In the aroma, notes of apple are felt, although in general it is more likely fruit (or multi -compound) aroma.
14. Taste. The taste is very neutral. There is no pronounced apple sourness, the sweetness is brightly felt, and this is not a fruit -ous sweet, it feels like just added sugar. There is a taste of apples. That’s all. To home, but what is there, to the usual store, but really high -quality juice, this sample is very far away!
