Create a paired sample set
Compare a cloudy juice sample with the proposed clarified route from the same source lot. Identify the sampling point, elapsed holding time and any treatment or dilution. Record the intended product before judging which sample is preferable.
| Sample field | Cloudy route | Clarified route |
|---|---|---|
| Material history | Pressing and coarse finishing | Named clarification/membrane sequence |
| Appearance | Pulp distribution, settling and visible specks | Clarity, colour and remaining haze |
| Product tests | Method, sample temperature and date | The same method and conditions |
| Side streams | Screen reject and retained pulp | Retentate, recovered volume and cleaning residues |
Connect each sample to its separation equipment
A screen finisher removes coarse material; ultrafiltration is a separate membrane operation with permeate, retentate and cleaning duties. Record the product mass and side streams rather than inferring juice recovery from visual clarity alone.
Continue the comparison through the receiving process
Describe treatment, final product concentration, hold time and the selected pack. Sample photographs should include their lot and process labels; illustrative equipment photographs are not trial-product evidence.
