The document "Juice Processing" (Method Sheet No. 5) describes the artisanal production process for Aloe Vera and Roselle juices in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, as a sustainable solution for diversifying farmers’ incomes. The process is carefully standardized, from harvesting fresh raw materials and preliminary processing—such as removing the bitter latex from Aloe Vera or separating Roselle seeds—to juice preparation, bottling, and labeling. To ensure product quality and food safety, the document emphasizes the fundamental importance of personal hygiene, sanitation of production equipment, and regular water quality testing. It demonstrates how appropriate technologies can increase the added value of tropical crops while enabling small producer groups to access domestic markets in a more professional manner.
