Orange juice is the liquid extract of the fruit of the orange tree, produced by squeezing oranges. It comes
in several different varieties, including blood orange, navel oranges, valencia orange, clementine, and tangerine. As well as variations in oranges used, some varieties
include differing amounts of juice vesicles, known as "pulp" in American
English, and "juicy bits" in British English.
Detailed
description
These vesicles contain the juice of the orange and
can be left in or removed during the manufacturing process. How juicy these
vesicles are depend upon many factors, such as species, variety, and season. In
American English, the beverage name may be abbreviated as "OJ".
Due to the importance of oranges to the economy of
the state of Florida, "the juice
obtained from mature oranges of the species Citrus sinensis and hybrids
thereof" was adopted as the official beverage of Florida in 1967.[1][2] Orange juice (along
with grapefruit juice) is offered to every visitor at each of the state's five Florida Welcome Centers. Commercial orange juice with a long shelf life is made by
drying and later rehydrating the juice, or by concentrating the juice and later
adding water to the concentrate. Prior to drying, the juice may also be
pasteurized and oxygen removed from it, necessitating the later addition of a
flavor pack, generally made from orange products.
The health value of orange juice is debatable. It
has a high concentration of vitamin C, but also a very
high concentration of simple sugars, comparable to soft drinks.[3][4][5] As a result, some
government nutritional advice has been adjusted to encourage substitution of
orange juice with raw fruit, which is digested more slowly, and limit daily
consumption.
Nutrition
A cup serving of raw, fresh orange juice, amounting
to 248 grams or 8 ounces, has 124 mg of vitamin C (>100% RDI).[9] It has 20.8 g
of sugars and has 112 Calories. It also supplies potassium, thiamin, and folate.
Citrus juices contain flavonoids (especially
in the pulp) that may have health benefits. Orange juice is
also a source of the antioxidant hesperidin. Because of its citric acid content, orange
juice is acidic, with a typical pH of around 3.5.
