The Art Of Extracting Juices
By Kevin Pederson, Tue Jan 10th

Making juices may seem simple. There are a variety of devicesused for making juices. The ideal juicer will make the maximumamount of liquid from a given quantity of plant material,leaving a quite dry residue behind which, incidentally, makes afirst class material for composting organically grown fruits andvegetables.

An electric blender can make a juice-like liquid from soft rawmaterials and is quite good with raspberries and similar fruitsalthough it is usually advisable to add a little water to themixture before blending However, for nearly all sources of rawjuices the most efficient machine is a purpose built juicingmachine.

These represent a sizeable expenditure for the average familyand it is often more economical to buy one where the basic motorunit can perform a number of different functions so that thewhole is a useful culinary aid. For example, a model which isnot only a continuous juicer but also shreds or slices for rawsalads, blends and chops.


Every type has its own special merits and its particulardisadvantages. Which you choose must depend on your individualcircumstances, but an experienced health store owner isinvariably a good and willing guide. But there are certainpoints that it is as well to be aware of in advance.

Any reasonable manufacturer will give a one year guaranteeagainst faults in manufacture. The machine will be made of highquality plastics and chemically inert metals, such as stainlesssteel rather than the more reactive aluminum, in places where itis in contact with the juice.

The cheapest type and one that is usually very efficientconsists of a basket with perforations into which the freshmaterials are put through the feeding hole.

There are cutterswhich divide the matter into fine particles. The basket whirlsround expressing the juice through the holes by centrifugalforce. After every pint or so of juice has been prepared themachine must be dismantled (always check to see if this is asimple or a tortuous task), the pulp has to be removed, themachine re-assembled and the process repeated. These areexcellent value for the moderate user but very tiresome if youwant many pints each day.

The next kind is the continuous machine in which the juice comesout of one aperture and the pulp from another. This is veryconvenient and some makers claim to have juiced two tons ofapples without stopping. In these machines the design of thepulp outlet is very critical for especially with the softerfruits, there is a risk of clogging which if unnoticed leads toa table covered with leaking liquids and a very messy juicer. Donot be put off for the majority of makers have overcome suchfaults. Just make certain that you buy on the understoodcondition that continuous means more or less what it says.

The extraction rate is often a little lower that for other typesbut this is offset by the great convenience. It is important toremember to clean all juicing machines after use or else therotting and caked-on residue will make a visit to the repairersa premature necessity.

The next class of machine is a hydraulic press which firstshreds and then subjects the pulp to between 3,000 and 7,000lb(1375-3175kg) pressure leaving the plant matter almost bone dry.Such a machine is costly and often hard to obtain but probablythe most efficient and certainly very desirable forinstitutional use. It is too large and awkward for normaljuicing purposes.

Finally we must consider the non-electric or manual methods ofjuicing which have, after all, been the only means possibleuntil recently Very good results are obtainable with a smallscale wine press. The fruit or vegetables are chopped and putinto a slatted, circular wooden basket a threaded post runs upthe centre and a long lever forces a strong plate downwards ontothe material forcing the juice out. A good model will last sowell that you may leave it to your heirs.

A good juicer is an investment in health that is small comparedto the great benefits you will derive from its regular use. Notonly is it essential for therapeutic purposes but, when you arefit and well, fresh raw juices can be prepared into subtle anddelicious cocktails of entrancing gastronomic delight. Who elsebut the host/hostess with a juicer can offer good health with adrink?
