What can be better and healthier than a glass of orange juice at breakfast? It seems as though the drink from trade, which says “100% Natural”, is not as natural as you think - the manufacturing process that fruit passes through various processes, from heat to conservation in order to wait about a year to be consumed.
What should consumers be surprised to know about orange juice?
Great orange juice producers of pasteurized juice (which is not derived from concentrate) keep the juice in aseptic huge reservoirs to ensure reserves for a year. Juice stored in this way should be deprived of oxygen, a process known as de-aeration, to not rust the tanks.
When the juice is devoid of oxygen, is also devoid of chemicals that give it flavor - if you try juice from the tanks, would taste like water with sugar. Thus, the producers hire companies to manufacture perfumes flavors to be added that “with sugar water”; to make it have the taste of orange juice.
How are we misleade by label?
A good example would be “drained of fresh oranges”. Even if the oranges would be fresh when they were crushed, which is not true, however not much difference in the moment that the juice is injected with any artificial substance to offer the “natural” flavor.
Best alternative?
You can buy orange juice produced by supermarket sites and bottled them at place. Are more expensive than mass produced, and they are diluted with water but still natural. The healthy alternative is to buy fresh oranges from market and prepare it at home.
