bottled lemon juice

The idea was to keep lemon juice to the season where no fruits.
The results were good and we can have our own natural juice with no additives or preservatives production for 12 months without problems.

Senor, I have a lot of respect for folks who speak their native language and mine(English.). I failed nearly a semester of spanish in high school. I did play games with some spanish speaking kids in grade school and I picked up some of your language. For example, Estudio Espanol in la esquela. My pencil is yellow and other not very useful phrases. I regret to say that in our movies the latin people are portrayed as using bad language. I do not believe this is true of the very polite spanish speaking peope. Oh, yes back to your ible, Muchas Gracias y Vaya con Dios.

lolzz!! thats mabi :D

is there any reason that this wouldn't work with limes? I have access to a rather large amount of limes for free and i've been looking for ways to preserve them.

Respecto al pasteurizado: No sería más conveniente pasteurizar el jugo en el mismo recipiente donde lo calientas y enfriarlo en ese mismo recipiente y posteriormente servirlo en las botellas?

Solo faltaría pasar las botellas cuello abajo por un generador de vapor que a 100º C entrara a la botella y eliminara bacterias o elementos en su interior como si fuera un autoclave, y así recibir el líquido pasteurizado y enmotellarlas en un ambiente controlado dentro de una cámara portátil de escritorio de ambiente antiséptico.

Mis 2 centavos

About Pasteurizing process: Would it be more convenient to pasteurize the lemon juice first on the same vase where you heate it and let it cold fast on the same vase, and then pour it on the glass bottles?

I think just may need to fill the bottles upside down with a steam generator at 100º C getting the steam get into the bottle and that will eliminate any bacteria or element inside as an Autoclaved process, and so you will pour the pasteurized juice on the bottles on a controlled enviroment, as a portable antiseptic desktop chamber?

My 2 cents

The idea of pasteurization is to kill the bacteria that may be in the storage container. Once you expose it to the air, it is contaminated again. You have to pasteurize in the final container because there is bacteria of some type in the air that will start growing in the liquid once it is opened.

This is why juice can sit for months on the shelf, but once opened has to be refrigerated because as soon as you open it, the bacteria in the air contaminates it and starts growing.

Your idea is fine for a processing plant that can create a controlled environment with limited access to the air, but in a kitchen, the method described here is the only way that can be reasonably done and achieve the desired results.

Hola compatriota. Te sugiero que hagas bilingües tus instructables, así los hispanohablantes no necesitamos leerlos en inglés.

Muy interesante tu envasamiento de jugo de limón, pero ¿no queda con gusto alterado? A mí me pasó eso hace algunos años, en pocas horas el gusto cambió radicalmente. Pero eso sí, yo no lo había pasteurizado.

Una pequeñez: cuando decís "not to pull the husks", ese "pull" significa tirar como halar, no como arrojar. Tendrías que poner "don't throw the husks"

Hello fellow. I suggest you do your instructables bilingual, so we Spanish-speakers do not need to read it in English.

Very interesting your lemon juice bottling but, is not altered the taste? That happened to me some years ago, within hours the taste changed dramatically. But yes, I had not pasteurized the juice.

Gracias, lo voy a tener en cuenta, como lo hice en español lo tengo, asi que solo queda hacerle una actualización.
No se lo suficiente en ingles, por lo tanto traduzco con google y trato de ver que este correcto.

Thanks, I'll consider, as I did in Spanish as I have, so just left make an update.
I'm not good enough in English, so I translate with google and try to see that is correct.

[caarntedd]

This is very good. It is also very courteous to translate for non Spanish speakers, but the most important thing is that you have shared your idea. Post your instructable in any language that you wish.
