How Orange Juice Is Made

Orange juice is a very popular drink and is found in most general stores globally. It can be consumed at any time of the day and there are many brands and type of orange juice sold around the world. In this essay I am going to explain the general idea of how orange juice is produced.

First, the oranges are hand picked from the orange plantation and are loaded onto a truck where it is later sent to a factory to be graded for bad or damaged fruit. After the oranges are graded it is then washed and separated by size. Next the oranges are loaded onto the conveyor belt where it is later sent to the juice extractor. The waste is sold for animal feed whereas the juice is put into an evaporator where it is heated for a short period to obtain the concentrated juice. Next the concentrated juice is put into a refrigerated storage where it is later canned and loaded onto a special insulated tanker truck to be sent to the packaging plant. At the packaging plant filter water is added into the concentrated juice. Then it is put into cardboard cartons, glass or plastic jugs and finally sent to retail stores to be sold.

As you can see there are many steps involved in making orange juice and if the steps are done correctly you can be sure that your orange juice are safe and delicious to drink. But it can never beat the taste of a fresh home made orange juice made by you.
