Frequently asked questions

How many PU does juice need?
It depends on acidity and product: acidic juices often need tens of PU, beer more than twenty-five. Follow your process instruction.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
