No Additives. No Chemistry. No Compromise.
A New Approach to Sugar Reduction in Juice
Clean-label sugar reduction for juice and dairy products using advanced membrane technology.
PCI Membranes® and BlueTree Technologies have developed an innovative platform capable of reducing natural sugar content by up to 75% while maintaining the authentic taste, clarity and sensory profile consumers expect.
✓ No additives
✓ No enzymatic modification
✓ No change to product identity
✓ Up to 50% sugar reduction in juice
✓ Up to 75% sugar reduction in milk
The Challenge
The Beverage Industry’s Sugar Dilemma
Consumers want healthier beverages. They also expect the same taste, appearance and drinking experience.
For juice and dairy manufacturers, reducing sugar has traditionally meant compromising flavour, adding ingredients, or fundamentally changing the product.
Until now.
A Different Approach to Sugar Reduction
Unlike conventional sugar reduction methods, the PCI Membranes® and BlueTree Technologies platform physically separates sugar molecules from the product stream.
Together, these technologies create a scalable sugar reduction solution for modern beverage production.
- No additives.
- No chemical modification.
- No enzymatic conversion.
Just advanced membrane process technology.
