How exactly is juice concentrated?
(I know that the water in the juice is extracted, but how?)
Answers:
If you heat it, then water boils off and this water (steam) is removed via a column attached to a hose that drains it off. This process reduces the volume of liquid by about 50-60% or more and concentrates the sugars and ester flavors (esters are acetate compounds that have fruity flavors) which occur naturally in the fruit. At this step you can add small amounts of concentrated flavor to water and either add sugar or extra esters to enhance flavor and then sell it as "made from concentrate" or if you just add extra esters you can say "no sugar added", or "all natural" if you don't add anything extra. The benefit of this process is only that it sterilizes the juice and it can be bottled for long term storage as opposed to selling fresh juices that would go bad quickly
Think about it.
there are lots of chemicals, squeeze fruits it's healthier
