UV filtration?

[juliew]

Hi all,
It's been forever since I've posted, but I have a question. At my local co-op they just got in apple cider and it says "cold-pressed" and "unpasteurized", which makes me say "Wahoo, it's raw!", BUT it also says "UV filtered". I looked online, but I'm not sure how much UV filtration affects enzymes, nutrients, etc. I'm wondering if it's almost the same as pasteurization, or if it would still be raw.
Thanks!

Is it cloudy. It needs to be cloudy (with mother).

Apple cider has a mother??? Hahaha thats a real question though. You are talking apple cider not apple cider vinegar?

Not sure what uv light does. I know a local orchard I worked at was concerned about new laws that required pasteurization. They opted to not past and uv light treat. It is "better than" for sure. I dont think a light passing it would kill enzymes or nutrients....its not being heated.

The light treatment is to kill bacteria, ya figure maybe the enzymes take a hit too. I'm going to stay on the safe side of things and try making my own dopecider. And a bit of this is sure to follow:

I guess that I need to read a bit more carefully. But then, it would not be me if I did not make mistakes.
