Given is a diagram illustrating step-by-step process of producing fresh and concentrated orange juice for sale in supermarkets. It is evident from the information provided that 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.
Initially, fresh oranges are delievered 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.At this point, it is canned and stored in a warehouse.
Having further processed the concentrated orange juice 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.
