Abstract
A process for treating a raw sugar-containing juice which includes liming, adding hydrogen peroxide, carbonating, filtering the juice to remove the thusly produced calcium carbonate and contacting the filtered juice with SO.sub.2. The treatment results in a decolorized juice which is rendered thermally stable relative to further color formation; the viscosity and the bacterial content of the juice are reduced.
