CONSTITUTION:Edible part of water melon is crushed, preheated by conventional method and squeezed. The juice is separated into solid and liquid by centrifugal separation and filtration to obtain clear juice. A primary activated carbon is added to the juice and the juice is heat-treated at a high temperature under a heating condition equivalent to the heating at about 121 deg.C for 10min. The heat-treated product is added with secondary activated carbon and filtered to obtain water melon juice.
