B Launching a Juice Company: Seeking Advice on Slush-Ice Production

[Juicer82w]

Hi, I'm a student who's creating a project surrounding the start-up of a juice company. We currently experiment with juice slush-ice but we don't know how to make it, neither do we know if it's possible. I would really appreciate if anyone at this site knows anything about this subject, and the subject of freezing drinks.
Thank you!

I really don't understand what you mean. Are you experimenting with juice mixtures? Would you like to know about good ice to juice ratios?

Can you explain a little more. I have a feeling PF might not be the place for this, as much as we would like to help you.

Yes, I'll try to explain myself better. We want to experiment with juice as slush-ice. As you may have seen Cola and Fanta slush-ice exists already, and I want to know if it's possible to make slush-ice from juice, if so, I want to know what the ice to juice ratios are.
Thank you!

Ahh, I see.

You should be able to empirically figure out the best ice-to juice ratios, I'm sure a couple rounds of ice and juice experiments are feasible.

Thank you for replying, I'll test it out, and update the thread with my results!

Cool. We'll be waiting.

Welcome to the PF, Oliver.

As part of your project, I'm sure you must have been doing a lot of reading and research into this. Could you post some of the better links you have found so far? What do they say about the optimum temperature and mix of ingredients to fine-tune the texture of the "smoothie" mix?

It would be a good idea for the OP to get hold of a slush puppie kit and see how it's done. I would imagine that the secret would be in the constitution of the syrup that's mixed with the ice granules as an anti-freeze. I expect it needs a lot of sugar - more than in natural juice.
