Dilution of fruit juice solids with added sugar will result in
declines in the concentration of inorganic constituents such as
potassium, magnesium and phosphorous. For example, Figure 3
shows a histogram of the potassium contents of pure Florida
orange juices. The arrows indicate how 10% and 20% dilution with
sugar and water would affect the average sample on the
distribution. A 20% addition pulls the average sample completely
outside of the normal range. Copyright © Krueger Food
