  • (A) and (D) only
  • (A), (B), and (C) only
  • (A), (B), (C), and (D)
  • (B), (C), and (D) only
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To identify the physical fruit juice preservation methods, we need to classify the given techniques as physical processes.

  • Refrigeration (A): A physical method that reduces microbial activity through cooling.
  • Salt addition (B): A chemical method that alters the juice's chemical environment.
  • Sugar addition (C): A chemical method that modifies osmotic balance rather than being a physical process.
  • Pasteurization (D): A physical method that eliminates microorganisms by heating.

Therefore, the physical preservation methods are Refrigeration (A) and Pasteurization (D). The correct identification is: (A) and (D) only.
