JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE AND NOT FROM CONCENTRATE

DEFINITION:
Juice from concentrate is a liquid that has been derived from fruit
juice by removing the water content through a process of evaporation.
When you want to use it, you simply add water to reconstitute
the juice to its original strength, making it similar in taste and
nutritional value to freshly squeezed juice.
why orange juice is a favourable drink?
Orange juice is one of the most popular beverages in the world,
loved for its refreshing taste and numerous health benefits.
Orange juice is a favorable drink because it is rich in vitamin C,
potassium and other essential nutrients that are beneficial to your health.
Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that helps to boost your immune
system and protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Additionally, potassium helps to regulate blood pressure and supports
proper muscle and nerve function in the body.
Orange juice also contains natural sugars that can provide you with a
quick burst of energy, making it an excellent choice for breakfast or a
midday snack.
Why it is concentrated? The advantage of juice from concentrate is
that it can be stored for long periods of time without spoiling, making
it a convenient and cost-effective option for consumers.
Differences between concentrated fruit juice and freshly squeezed
one.
Concentrated fruit juice and freshly squeezed juice are both
made from fruit, but there are several differences between
them.
Processing: Concentrated fruit juice is made by extracting the
juice from the fruit and then evaporating most of the water
content to create a concentrated form. Freshly squeezed juice,
on the other hand, is made by pressing or squeezing the fruit to
extract the juice, without any further processing.

Nutritional Value: Freshly squeezed juice retains most of the


vitamins, minerals, and enzymes found in the fruit, while
concentrated juice may have lost some of these nutrients during
the processing.
Sugar Content: Concentrated fruit juice is often higher in sugar
content than freshly squeezed juice because the concentration
process involves removing much of the water, which leaves a
higher concentration of sugar per serving.
Flavor: Freshly squeezed juice has a fresher and more vibrant
flavor than concentrated juice because it is made directly from
the fruit, without any additional processing or additives.
Shelf Life: Concentrated juice has a longer shelf life than
freshly squeezed juice because the concentration process
removes much of the water, which inhibits bacterial growth and
prolongs its preservation.

In summary, while both types of fruit juice have their own benefits,
freshly squeezed juice generally contains more nutrients and a fresher
flavor, while concentrated juice has a longer shelf life and can be more
convenient.
