Soon Your Orange Juice Will Have Even Less Real Orange In It
Bottled orange juice, a staple of all-American breakfast tables, has never been as natural as it seems. Orange juice was beloved in Florida and California at the turn of the 20th century, but it didn't travel well. In the 1930s, citrus farmers tried to freeze and can the juice to transport it further afield, but the process yielded a nearly undrinkable product. When the US government was searching for solutions to get more Vitamin C to soldiers during World War II, scientists discovered that removing water enabled OJ to be frozen and safely shipped. And thus, concentrate was born.
The concentration process strips juice of its natural oils, so juice companies had to add flavor and fragrance back later, using oils and essences derived largely from peels. These scientific innovations brought OJ into more American homes and diners than ever before. They also laid the groundwork for the study and development of citrus flavors, now a nearly $5 billion market.

Editor's note: This story mentions suicide. The death of third-year Cal Poly student and sorority member Christina DeChalk has been ruled a suicide, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's-Coroner's Office said Friday. According to a coroner's report provided to The Tribune on Friday morning, an autopsy confirmed she died from an overdose of medications. According to the report, DeChalk's roommates called 911 on Jan. 26 after finding her unresponsive. When the Sheriff-Coroner's Office arrived, Deputy B. Geremia found she was dead with no signs of foul play, according to the report. Her family was notified soon after the Sheriff-Coroner's Office arrived on the scene. DeChalk was the fifth Cal Poly student to die within a year, The Tribune reported in January. She was also the second member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority to die within that same year, after Sofia Padoan, who was the president of the sorority, died from a brain aneurysm in February 2024. DeChalk was remembered by the sorority on Instagram as an incredible friend. A vigil was held on Feb. 4.
