. The adulteration of apple juice with pear juice and corn drived syrups has been practiced in many countries. The sorbitol/sucrose ratios and the sorbitol/total sugar ratios were determined for the juices of 14 apple varieties and 3 pear varieties. A multivariate normal test was applied to develop an equation for the detection of apple juice adulteration with sugar solutions or pear juice. Adulteration of apple juice with more than 10% sugar solution or pear juice were detectable with this method.
