What does orange juice "from concentrate" mean?

Question

Some pure juices are marked from concentrate and others are not - whats the difference?

The carton says "pure orange juice" and nothing else.Can't be anything added surely?

Answer 1

if its made form concentrate then, usually its made from frozen orange juice that is reduced in volume in the country that grew the oranges (oftens brazil, Israel or the US).
whenits finally packed its defrosted, the volume is remade using water from the local supply.

unless it actually says on the carton that it includes other items then its still classified as "pure orange".

there are orange juices oiut there which are meddled with, but these are clearly marked, identifying the additions. there are some juices which are over watered and may have sugar and other ingredients added - these are usually called nectars

Answer 2

Orange Juice Concentrate

Answer 3

It means that the orange juice has been concentrated at the source by driving off a lot of the water, when it reached the packing company in the UK, its diluted with water back to its correct strength, it means it should be cheaper as it costs the same to ship 100 litres of concentrate as 100 litres of pure juice, but at the packing company they can get 300 litres from the 100. It doesn't taste as good, and I don't buy any prepacked juice as oranges here are so cheap I make my own, and here freshly squeezed means just that, squeezed about 10 minutes before being drunk

Answer 5

It means that the "pulp" from the oranges has been filtered out and only the juice is left. Normal orange juice is what you would get if you took an orange, removed the peel, and mashed it up. This leaves behind all of the little fleshy pockets that contained the liquid, which we call pulp.

Hey, the pulp is the best part, to me. It's the skin of the orange. When you go to peel an orange you first remove the peel. Then you bite into the skin which is known as the pulp. People remove the pulp so that you just taste the juice without the skin. The skin is really good though. Most places that serve freshly squeezed drinks leave the pulp or skin in for a better flavor.

Answer 7

They de-juice the oranges and then concentrate it- prob by boiling water out, then add other water to it- think this means it is long life and will last longer. Proper orange juice is straight out the orange and untampered with but should be kept in the fridge even before you open it.

Answer 8

from concentrate means the orange juice is made up of a part of fresh squeezed oranges and then topped liberally with water to fill up the rest of the carton. pure orange juice on the other hand would only have the juice of oranges. no water. no sugar.

Answer 9

it is relatively expensive to transport liquids, so you squeeze the orange juice, but then you dont want to pay to transport it when 50% of it is just water, so you concentrate it, transport the concentrate, then add the water back at the destination. which is why "pure orange juice" costs so much more than the from concentrate stuff.

Answer 10

orange juice has been evaporated to concentrate all the nutrients and flavours and so on so that it can be transported. Then when it gets to it's destination the water is added again (obviously not the same water) and the product is sent to the shelf
