There are low acid orange juices from both: Minute Maid and Tropicana, but I have not seen "no acid orange juices" on the market.

I take it you have Acid Reflex I do and no there is no such thing I miss orange juice.

There is such a thing as LOW acid orange juice. Have you tried that? One thing you could experiment with: add baking soda (which is mildly basic, the opposite of acidic), a little at a time, to low acid orange juice, until any bubbling stops. (the bubbling is the reaction of the acid and the base making carbon dioxide). Try this with just one glassful, and see if it changes the taste too much. If it does, abandon the idea. If not, try drinking it to see if it bothers you.

I have never heard of a NO acid orange juice, but Tropicana has a patented process to lower the acidity to give you low acid juice.

Quote from the abstract of the patent; "Reducing heartburn episodes is achieved in individuals having an orange juice intolerance or food allergy. The orange juice product has a low titratable acidity which combines with a condition resulting after addition of a calcium source such as a calcium citrate source. Individuals prone to orange juice induced heartburn episodes experience a reduced incidence of these heartburn episodes." Link to the patent details below.........

Hope this helps.

I know that Tropicana has a low-acid version. They sell it in major supermarkets.

No. Orange juice is made up of primarily citric acid, which is found in all citrus fruits. This is why they taste sour (and delicious, I might add). In my Honors Chemistry class, we just covered the pH. This is the level of acidity on a scale of 1 to 14, with 1 being like burn-your-face-off Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and 14 being burn-your-face-off Sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Water is level 7, meaning it is neutral.

All acids taste somewhat sour. That is why orange juice is generally sour. The only way to keep the acid from affecting you (weak stomach, perhaps?) is to take an antacid such as TUMS or Maalox. These antacids are 'basic', meaning that their pH is higher than 7. When a low pH and a high pH mix, the acid neutralizes, so you don't feel the pain.

To make a long story short, there is no such thing as acid-free orange juice.

actually, any fruit(tropical already had acid, and sugar in it, so no, there arent any no acid orange juice
