The diagram depicts the linear procedure of creating fresh and concentrated orange juice, intended for retail sale in supermarkets.
Overall, the process consists of 17 steps that can be grouped into three primary phases. These phases involve the production and transportation of fresh orange juice to supermarkets, the processing of fresh juice to produce concentrated juice for storage, and the creation of reconstituted orange juice for sale.
The procedure begins with the delivery of fresh oranges to a factory, where the fruit is washed, and the juice is extracted. Any remaining solid waste is repurposed for animal feed. Subsequently, the fresh juice is either transported in refrigerated vehicles for evaporation or packaged and shipped to supermarkets for direct sale to consumers.
A distinct facility is responsible for evaporating the juice, removing water and resulting in the creation of concentrated orange juice, which is then packaged into cans and stored in a warehouse. When necessary, the orange concentrate is transported to a processing plant where it is mixed with water, packaged, and ultimately shipped to supermarkets for retail sale.
