Why is pear juice the "base" of almost every fruit juice??

Question

I'm looking at the ingredients for a orange tangerine drink and it has more pear juice than orange or tangerine. I've seen that in so many different juices.Why??

I've even seen it in some apple juices

Answer 1

because its not a really strong flavor but is very sweet and other fruits will override its pear flavor. personally i love pears in their own juice, very subtle flavor and they are best served alone or with cheese

Answer 2

in south africa, most of the juice bases were white grape or apple
i love pear juice.. i bet yr juice tastes better than mine

i think pear juice is used to cut the acidity in the juice and as a preservative

Answer 3

Is it? I have only noticed apple juice being the main flavor juice.

Answer 4

i've usually notice apple juice is the base of everything.
but pear juice is probably easier to digest, at least in babies.

Answer 5

Because it is sweet and fairly thick so it provides "body" to the texture of the bevrage. Almost 'every' fruit drink? SPENDY ;-P

Answer 6

Because it's naturally sweet and doesn't have much of a specific flavor on its own, so it lends itself well to taking on other flavors that it's mixed with.

Answer 7

i tihnk pear gives it the flavor. but im not sure :-/
