ABSTRACT
The genus Morus, commonly known as mulberry, is mostly grown in Asia, North Africa, Arabia, and South Europe, and has more than 150 species [1,2]. Among them, Morus alba (white mulberry), M. rubra (red mulberry), and M. nigra (black mulberry) are the best known species [1,3]. Harvest time and shelf life of these popular species, similar to other mulberry species, are very short. Therefore, to benet from the fruits throughout the year, the fruits are processed to products such as juice, marmalade, and wine, which have a longer shelf life. According to current consumer trends, mulberry juice is the most preferred among the mulberry products. The juice yield of mulberry is no less than 50% for the common varieties and more than 60% for the seedless mulberry [4]. Mulberry is one of the most suitable fruits for juice production due to its high yield and appropriate sugar to acid ratio.
