Said juice possesses antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and is suitable for diabetics due to the natural and beneficial properties of the stevia plant. The juice preservation method is pasteurization where reduction in pasteurization time due to the acidic pH of the pink grapefruit (i.e., from 30 seconds to 20 seconds), reduction in temperature (from 85 °C to 82 °C), and hot fill bottling which is also the purpose of the invention are achieved.
