The diagram illustrates the production process of orange juice. Overall, there are two types of orange juice: natural and concentrated. The production of natural juice involves seven distinct steps, whereas the production of concentrated juice involves twice as many steps.
Firstly, freshly picked oranges are delivered to a factory, where they are washed. Using special machinery, the oranges are then processed to extract the fresh juice while the solid waste is separated and used as animal feed. The extracted fresh juice is immediately packaged into cartons and sent to supermarkets for sale, marking the final stage of the natural orange juice production process.
For concentrated juice, the fresh juice undergoes additional processing. It is loaded into refrigerated trucks and transported to another factory for evaporation, where water is separated from the juice. The concentrated juice is then canned and sent to a warehouse for storage. After a period of storage, the concentrated juice is delivered to a third factory where water is added back to the concentrate. The final product is then packaged into cartons and distributed to shops for sale.
By clearly delineating the steps for both types of orange juice, this description effectively captures the complexity and scale of the production process.
