The diagram below shows how orange juice is produced.
The process illustrates how orange juice is made from fresh oranges. Overall, the production involves several stages, beginning with the cultivation and harvesting of oranges, followed by the extraction and concentration of juice, and ending with packaging and distribution.
The process starts with growing orange trees and allowing the fruit to ripen. Once the oranges are mature, they are harvested and transported to a factory by trucks. At the factory, the fruits are graded and sorted to remove any that are damaged or of low quality. The selected oranges are then processed in a special extraction machine to obtain the juice.
In the subsequent stages, the extracted juice is heated to remove water, producing a concentrated form of orange juice. This concentrate is stored in refrigerated facilities to maintain freshness. Later, it is canned and shipped to other locations. Upon arrival, water is added back to the concentrate to restore it to its original form. Finally, the juice is packaged into cartons and distributed for sale in shops and supermarkets.
