Abstract

A modified fruit juice extractor based on the combination process of mastication through the screw auger
and maceration through the tough belt arranged side by side on the shaft was developed. The extractor
was tested using orange and pineapple and the quality of the juices produced showed that this multi-fruit
extractor is suitable for small, medium and industrial juice processing business in both rural and urban
communities.
