A method of recovering palatable potable storable water from a process for concentrating an extracted juice, the method including the steps of: providing the extracted juice; concentrating the extracted juice to form a concentrated juice stream and a concentrator waste stream, wherein the concentrator waste stream is not palatable, potable or storable; and purifying the concentrator waste stream to provide palatable potable storable water including the step of passing the concentrator waste stream through activated carbon.抽出汁を濃縮する過程から口当たりの良い貯蔵可能な飲用水を回収する方法であって、抽出汁を供給する工程;抽出汁を濃縮して、濃縮汁流及び濃縮機排出流を形成する工程(ここで濃縮機排出流は、口当たりが良くない、飲用ではない又は貯蔵可能ではない);及び濃縮機排出流を活性炭に通す工程を含む、濃縮機排出流を精製して、口当たりの良い貯蔵可能な飲用水を供給する工程を含む方法。
