Have you ever wondered why some deeply processed orange juices taste sour and bitter while others are sweet and delicious, leaving a lasting impression? Besides selecting fresh fruits as raw materials, the processing technique is also a key factor affecting the juice's flavor. During the citrus juicing stage, controlling the content of orange peel essential oil in the juice is crucial because it directly impacts the taste. If the essential oil content is too high, the juice becomes bitter and its flavor deteriorates, significantly affecting the overall taste experience. The juicing method is equally important, as it plays a major role in determining the flavor.

Unlike traditional spiral or cutting-blending juicing methods, which struggle to separate the peel and essential oil effectively—leading to a bitter taste—the cup-type juicer offers a better solution. We import this cup-type juicer from abroad, which cleverly addresses the issues of low juice yield and excessive essential oil content. Through precise control, it separates the pomace and essential oil, maintaining the essential oil content in the juice at an extremely low level. As a result, the juice extracted is fresh, sweet, and tangy, with almost no detectable bitterness.
