The diagram illustrates the step-by-step process by which fresh orange juice is produced, as well as how orange concentrate is used to create an alternative juice product. Overall, the production process can be broadly divided into three main stages: beginning with the removal of waste and the initial extraction of juice, followed by either the packaging of fresh juice or the evaporation of the liquid to produce concentrate, and ending with distribution to shops. In addition, the solid waste generated during the process is used as animal feed, highlighting the environmentally friendly nature of the production.
The process begins with the harvesting of orange fruits, which are then transported to a processing facility. Upon arrival, the oranges are thoroughly washed to remove any excess dirt before being fed into specialized machinery designed for juice extraction. Following this stage, the by-products are disposed of sustainably, as the orange peels are used as animal feed, while the extracted juice is retained for further processing.
In one pathway, the fresh organic juice is packaged directly into cartons and plastic bottles. These products are then loaded onto refrigerated trucks and delivered to retail outlets. The use of refrigeration helps prevent any chemical changes in the juice during transportation.
Alternatively, a different type of orange juice is produced using concentrate. In this process, the freshly extracted juice undergoes evaporation, which removes a significant proportion of its water content, resulting in a concentrated form. This concentrate is then stored in containers and transported to storage facilities, where it remains until required for further processing. At the final stage, the concentrate is reconstituted by adding water, after which the product is canned, packaged, and distributed to shops for consumption.
