The diagram illustrates the linear process of producing fresh and concentrated orange juice for sale in supermarkets. There are a total of 17 steps organized into three main stages: delivering fresh orange juice to supermarkets, processing the fresh juice into concentrated juice for storage, and producing reconstituted orange juice for sale.
The process begins with delivering fresh oranges to a factory, where the raw product is washed and the juice is extracted. Any excess solid waste is utilized as animal feed. The fresh juice is then either transported in refrigerated trucks for evaporation or packaged and sent to supermarkets for sale. The evaporation process, carried out at a separate facility, removes water from the juice to create concentrated orange juice, which is canned and stored in a warehouse.
The concentrated orange juice is further processed in a final plant where it is mixed with water to produce reconstituted orange juice. The final product is packaged and delivered to supermarkets for sale to the public.
