Orange is a common fruit in our daily life. It is rich in vitamin C and is loved by everyone. Its processed products such as orange juice and orange juice powder are also well known by everyone. However, with regard to the nutritional value of processed oranges, it is difficult for everyone to reach a consensus. Today, I will give you a popular science about the things that make you have doubts about the processed orange products.

Question 1: Is orange juice better than oranges?

The answer is negative.

Nutritionists will not advise citizens not to drink orange juice, because for those who are reluctant to eat fruit, orange juice can supplement vitamin C to some extent, but you must drink it as soon as possible, and when buying packaged orange juice, it is best to choose some Orange juice with added sugar.

If comparing oranges and orange juice, of course the former is the best choice. Because an orange contains about 68 mg of vitamin C, 26 micrograms of folic acid (a type of vitamin B group), 17 grams of fructose and 3.6 grams of fiber. Only one vitamin C is enough for a person's daily needs. Both vitamin C and folic acid exist in the pulp and are soluble in water. Basically, drinking orange juice can take it all. The biggest difference between eating oranges and drinking orange juice is fiber. Calculated by squeezing two oranges into a glass of orange juice, there is very little fiber left at the end, only 1 to 2 grams. Throwing away the orange pomace after juicing is a waste of money.

Question 2: If you put fresh orange juice for half an hour, the nutrition will be lost

The answer is yes.

Some people are too lazy to eat fruit, thinking that drinking a glass of orange juice can also supplement some vitamin C. There is a saying that orange juice that has been stored for a long time is not good for the body, and the sugar intake may be higher than drinking soda water. Drinking too much is harmful to health. , what are the facts?

An Italian study pointed out that if fresh orange juice is placed for more than half an hour, the original nutrients will be wiped out.

Problem 3: Vitamin C dissipates when exposed to air

The answer is yes.

Nutrition experts point out that vitamin C is indeed put away for a short time. Although there is no data to calculate the speed of vitamin C loss in fresh juice, it is generally believed that half an hour is the limit. Because it is indeed a very unstable nutrient - many other nutrients are lost during heating, and vitamin C only needs to be exposed to air to be lost and destroyed.

It is worth noting that the loss of vitamin C is not a unique problem of freshly squeezed orange juice. Most of the vitamin C in packaging orange juice is an additive, and it can be temporarily preserved after packaging. However, as soon as the lid of the box is opened, the process of losing nutrients begins, so some people are used to buying a large box of orange juice and drinking it slowly in the refrigerator.

Question 4: Orange juice may be sweeter than soda without sugar

The answer is yes.

The study also found that orange juice is higher in sugar than soda when sweetened, and nutrition experts say this estimate may be too conservative. Even without the addition, a glass of fresh orange juice can still have more sugar than soda. Calculated by squeezing two oranges into orange juice, the sugar content of a glass of fresh orange juice is as high as 34 grams of sugar, and 6.5 teaspoons of sugar are added. A 250ml glass of soda has about 25 grams of sugar, or 5 teaspoons of sugar.

But orange juice and soda are different in sugar content. Because orange juice is fructose, and soda is sucrose. The former is absorbed slowly in the human body, and the speed of raising blood sugar is slightly slower, whichever is the lesser of the two evils. Orange juice is still ideal for diabetics. However, since fructose and sucrose have the same caloric value, it is best to limit your intake.

Question 5: Juice concentrate is better than fruit juice?

The answer is correct.

Juice concentrates are mainly made from fresh fruit. Concentrated fruit is produced by filtering the water in the pulp. Concentrated products are stored under sterile, non-sterile and frozen conditions. These methods have traditionally been used to optimize their transport around the world, and then reconstitute with the same volume of water that evaporates upon arrival at the juice manufacturing site. Fruit juice concentrates are popular because they are easier to store, transport, and less expensive than liquid juices.

So, contrary to popular assumptions, fruit concentrates are real juices. But the downside of this manufacturing process is that vitamins and minerals are lost in the filtered water.
