ABSTRACT
Orange juice is the predominant juice manufactured by the juice industry worldwide and is consumed in relatively high quantities in many countries. Fruit juices were originally developed to use up the surplus fresh fruit production, but now in many areas fruit (in particular citrus and apple) is speci> cally grown for juicing. Today’s consumers desire high-quality foods with fresh @ avor, texture, and color, and orange juice is the most appreciated and consumed juice because of its pleasant taste and high ascorbic acid content.
