The key technologies for development of a pomelo juice bevereage were investigated in this paper, including flavor formula, stabilizer formula and homogenization conditions. The results showed that the optimum formula of the pomelo juice beverage was 8% whole pomelo juice, 10% sugar, 0.06% citric acid, xanthan gum 0.05%, CMC 0.16% and agar 0.06%. The pomelo juice beverage mixed was homogenized for three times under the pressure of 20 MPa at about 40 ℃. The microparticles in the pomelo juice beverage were well-distributed and not easy to agglomerate. The beverage had good stability after sterilization and showed a sweet and sour taste, a rich pomelo flavor and a lighter bitterness. And the product showed better physicochemical indices when prepared under optimum conditions..
