Goji Polysaccharides

Dear CAOH,

How do the polysaccharides found in fresh goji berries survive “flash” pasteurization?  Are they still present in your juice?  In what form is the juice shipped to the US?

Thank you,

Dan Allis

Answer: Dan,

Flash pasteurization is well below the temp. threshold to destroy PS’s, enzymes or other valuable phytochemicals present in the goji juice (Goji Fusion). Sterile processing, which FreeLife (and many others) use, utilizes a very high temp, that in my professional opinion, can and does destroy all vital, biological components.

The goji is shipped as is, after flash pasteurization, to us in the U.S.
