Commercially processed orange juice products having a more hand-squeezed character.

摘要

Commercially processed orange juice products, including frozen orange juice concentrates, which are closer to handsqueezed orange juice in character are disclosed. At single-strength, these products have a viscosity of about 7 centipoise or less (at 8 DEG C) and a titratable oil content of about 0.015% or less. These products are further characterized by an orange aroma and flavor component which has a higher ratio of certain desirable "fresh" and "orangey" compounds, relative to certain less desirable orange compounds, when compared to current commercial orange juice products prepared from orange juice concentrate.
