Orange juice is, at its most fundamental, the juice squeezed from fresh oranges. It has developed into a commercial product, and a variety of types are available.
Types
[edit | edit source]Fresh
[edit | edit source]Fresh orange juice is simply made by squeezing or reaming a fresh, cut orange to extract the juice. It is not very stable and must be chilled and consumed within a few days.
Frozen concentrate
[edit | edit source]Concentrated orange juice is strained, pasteurized, concentrated, and frozen. This process extends its shelf life, and it can be re-diluted with water before using.
Pasteurized "not from concentrate"
[edit | edit source]This variety of orange juice is commonly available in the refrigerated section of grocery stores. It is pasteurized and stored aseptically, and it is sold ready-to-use.
Canned
[edit | edit source]Canned orange juice is heated before storage in metal cans. It is shelf-stable for a long period of time, although it loses flavor with age.
