Unveiling the Truth: Fresh vs. Store-Bought Orange Juice

Posted on by Sarah Multi Macfor

The debate between the benefits of freshly squeezed orange juice versus store-bought has been a topic of discussion for years among health-conscious consumers. As a professional in the Food & Beverage industry, understanding the nutritional value and consumer preferences regarding products like orange juice is crucial.

Study Insights on Orange Juice

A recent study published in the “International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition” compared freshly squeezed orange juice with store-bought orange juice from Spain, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. The comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the key differences between these two types of juice.

Contrary to popular belief, this research found that both types of orange juice contain similar levels of polyphenols.

Polyphenols are natural compounds found in plants and fruits. They have antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals and are associated with health benefits such as reducing inflammation and supporting heart health.

Freshly squeezed juice degrades quickly, resulting in a loss of its vitamin C levels. The squeezed one can reach the same nutritional value as store-bought orange juice within a week.

According to the European recommendations for daily vitamin C intake, men should consume 90 mg and women 80 mg. The store-bought orange juice meets 94% of this nutritional value!

This study found that the nutritional value of orange juice remains consistent, whether it’s freshly squeezed at home or purchased from a supermarket. Consumers can rely on packaged juice as a convenient solution that saves time and caters to their health and wellness requirements.

This study sheds more light on the existing concerns of people worldwide related to health. It is essential to clarify some common misconceptions about packaged orange juices.

At Citrosuco, we value innovation and sustainability while remaining committed to people’s health. We use every part of the orange to ensure that our products are 100% natural and packed with essential nutrients. Our approach is a reflection of our dedication to environmental responsibility and providing quality products to our customers.

The Market Impact of Health-Conscious Consumers

Posted on by Sarah Multi Macfor

Today, as we celebrate World Consumer Rights Day, it’s a momentous occasion to acknowledge how consumer rights and awareness have been pivotal in transforming the food and beverage industry, with a focus on the health and wellness trends in the orange juice market.

Let’s delve into some of them.

#1. Demand for Natural and Organic Options

Consumers are increasingly seeking products free from additives and preservatives. The organic juice market is expected to reach USD 60.2 Billion by 2030, according to MRFR. This demand is driving producers towards more natural and organic juice offerings, emphasizing the purity and authenticity of their products. This shift not only aligns with health-conscious trends but also reflects a broader societal move towards sustainability and environmental responsibility.

#2. The Sugar Reduction Movement

With a growing awareness of the health risks associated with high sugar consumption, consumers are turning towards low-sugar or no-added-sugar juice options. This trend prompts orange juice manufacturers to innovate and reformulate their products, balancing taste with health benefits. The challenge lies in maintaining the natural sweetness and flavor profile of orange juice while reducing its sugar content.

#3 Prioritizing Environmental Responsibility

In response to growing consumer concern for the planet, as highlighted by Innova Trends Research, the industry needs to increase its focus on environmental stewardship. This shift involves adopting practices like regenerative agriculture, responsible farming, and emphasizing forest protection and reduced water usage. This trend is reshaping consumer choices and setting new industry standards for environmental responsibility.
