OrangeJuice is
a fruit juice obtained by squeezing, pressing or otherwise crushing
the interior of an orange.
Orange juice is commonly marketed
in three forms: as a frozen concentrate, which is diluted with
water after purchase; as
a reconstituted liquid, which has been concentrated and then
diluted prior to sale; or as a single strength, unconcentrated
beverage called NFC or Not from Concentrate. The latter two
types are also known as Ready to Drink (RTD) juices.
Concentrated
juice extract is approximately five times more concentrated
than squeezed juice. Diluted with water, it is
used to make frozen juice and many RTD beverages. Concentration
is useful because it extends the shelf life of the juice and
makes storage and shipping more economical.
