The juice is extracted rapidly. The juice is then stored in containers. Oxygen is removed during pasteurization of the juice. In this state, it will keep for a year! The counterpart is that the juice has almost no taste.<br \/>\nThe containers are then shipped to our country. You should know that the majority of orange juice brands are supplied from the same plant.<br \/>\nOnce arrived, the orange juice is &#8220;woken up&#8221;  by adding the &#8220;flavour pack&#8221;.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7784\" src=\"https:\/\/notrechiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Super.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"200\" \/><br \/>\nAll major brands have their own flavor pack that is a signature taste. This allows to sell a similar tasting juice from years to years. Like Chanel N\u00b05 perfume, this taste signature has been developed by flavour specialists &#8220;for your pleasure&#8221;.<br \/>\nThen they can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reinject the pulp, for those who prefer &#8220;with pulp&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Mix with other fruit juices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What are you going to do?<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Consult your chiropractor<\/span><\/h5>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/notrechiro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/chiro1.png\" alt=\"chiro1\" width=\"221\" height=\"221\" \/><\/h4>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8221; For a healthier world &#8220;<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nSources:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Sources: 1-https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/landia\/article\/PIIS2213-8587(14)70013-0\/fulltext. 2-http:\/\/nutritiondata.self.com\/facts\/fruits-and-fruit-juices\/1971\/2. 3-https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/15969493. 4-https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2844681\/. 5-https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23810279. 6-https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/7498104. 7-https:\/\/www.journal-of-hepatology.eu\/article\/S0168-8278(08)00164-5\/abstract. 8-https:\/\/nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/1743-7075-2-5. 9-http:\/\/diabetes.diabetesjournals.org\/content\/54\/7\/1907.short. 10-https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20439553. 11-https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/07\/29\/100-percent-orange-juice-artificial_n_913395.html<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fruit juices are considered healthy foods.
