No. If you'd ever used it to try (and the operative word here is "try") to make lemonade, you'd never had to ask the question. It's horrible tasting stuff.
I have a bottle of reconstituted lemon juice here (not mine, my brother's), on the label it says, "Contains 100% Juice," but the ingredients list "Water, Lemon Juice Concentrate, 1/40 of 1% Sodium Benzoate and 1/40 of 1% Sodium Bisulfite as Preservatives.
Some of them taste mostly of lemon oil.
And yes, Realemon is pasteurized. So are a lot of juices and juice drinks, including Hawaiian Punch and Motts Apple Juice.

No it isn't...not if you want real, fresh lemon taste.
The bottled kind is from concentrate and also includes some preservatives such as Sodium Benzoate.
It will work in a pinch and as far as a recipe it would measure the same. You just wouldn't have the taste quality. Nothing can compare with fresh when it comes to foods!

no it shouldn't be, because the fresh squeezed lemon should be better and has more vitamin C. vitamin C is very fragil and very easily to get destory when it contact with air. so for your question answer is No.
but lemon juice in bottle is more convience.

no, it's a concentrate of things and most often citric acid.
even if you squeezed your own lemon juice and put it in the fridge it will taste completely different the next day.(If you freeze it it retains some of its flavour.)
But really lemon juice is one of these things to have freshly squeezed.

No, not the exact same. One is contained in a bottle and released with the twist of a cap and pour of the bottle. The other is contained in a lemon, a fruit of the citrus variety, and released through cutting and squeezing, either manually or with a juicer.

Some might be, but most is from concentrate, which means it has added water. The ReaLemon kind, which comes in the plastic, lemon-shaped bottle, is quite watery.

never, fresh is better. the bottled one has a weird taste to it.

Heavens no. It has been pasteurized (cooked) which takes away the fresh flavor.

No its not the same. But if you don't have fresh you can use it
