'''Apple juice''' is a [[juice|fruit juice]] manufactured by the maceration and pressing of [[apple]]s. The resulting expelled juice may be further treated by enzymatic and centrifugal clarification to remove the [[starch]] and [[pectin]], which holds fine particulate in suspension, and then [[pasteurization|pasteurize]]d for packaging in glass, metal or [[aseptic processing]] system containers, or further treated  by dehydration processes to a [[concentrate]]. Apple juice may also be sold in an untreated state. 

Due to the complex and costly equipment required to extract and clarify juice from apples in large volume, apple juice is normally commercially produced. In the United States, unfiltered fresh apple juice is produced by smaller operations in areas of high apple production, in the form of unclarified [[apple cider]]. Apple juice is one of the most common fruit juices in the world, with world production led by China, followed by Poland, Germany and the United States.<ref>[http://ffas.usda.gov/htp/horticulture/Apple%20Juice/Apple%20Juice%20Feature%20May%202005.pdf USDA Foreign Agricultural Service.

==Health benefits==
[[Vitamin C]] is sometimes added by ryan prester and vinny rendero fortification, because content is variable,<ref>[http://www.nafex.org/jansonfiles/JansonJan68.htm Vitamin C in selected varieties]</ref> and much of that is lost in processing. Other vitamin concentrations are low, but apple juice does contain various mineral nutrients, including [[boron]], which may promote healthy bones.<ref>[http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all?content=10.1080/10643380590900200 Parks and Edwards (2005) Boron in the Environment] Retrieved 2008-08-13</ref>(contracted; show full)[[no:Eplemost]]
