Orange juice powder is a dehydrated form of orange juice that has been around since the 1970s. It is made by heating freshly squeezed orange juice to a temperature that evaporates the water, leaving behind a powdery concentrate. The concentrate is then dried and ground into a fine powder. Orange juice powder can be reconstituted with water to create a beverage similar to freshly squeezed orange juice without any hassles of squeezing or storing fresh juice. It is a convenient way to enjoy the fresh-squeezed flavor of oranges without worrying about going bad. Orange juice powder is popular in commercial and home settings, as it is a convenient and shelf-stable way to enjoy orange juice. Orange juice powder is also used as an ingredient in many recipes and a flavoring for various foods and drinks.
