If one summer evening you want the same natural and delicious winter pomegranate juice, you will probably go for F.C. factory-made juices, which not only do not give you that satisfying feeling but also do not have a real taste and aroma.

So, what do we do then?

Is it possible to find a juice with the same fresh and natural taste and aroma?

Have you heard of N.F.C juices?

In this article, we are trying to inform you about N.F.C and F.C juices, how they are produced, and their differences, so follow us to the end of the article to give you complete and sufficient information.

What is factory-made Juice (F.C)?

F.C juices include juice, nectar, and beverages that are available in bottles. To prepare these juices, concentrated or heated fruit puree is used, which usually contains chemicals, permitted additives, and sugar.

What is Natural Juice (N.F.C)?

N.F.C juices are natural juices without any additives, even water; this juice does not use any concentrate and the juice itself is packaged and made available to the public. Because this method does not include any heating to the fruit and no additives are added to it, the juice gives you the same real and fresh taste and aroma.

How to make F.C. juice

FC juices, or factory-made juices, are usually made in the same way. To prepare these juices, first, to separate the soil, dust, leaves, etc that exists on the surface of the fruit, and also to remove the remnants of insecticides on the fruits, washing processes are performed.

The washing procedure is such that the fruits are placed in a floating device to settle the soil particles, etc, and by injecting air into these vessels, shakes the fruits and washes them. At the same time, excess materials such as leaves, wood, etc, which are lightweight, float on the water, and are separated by overflowing water. The fruits are then rinsed by a sloping lift and soaked with a shower and entered the next stage. In the next step, the juices are prepared by the machine and heated in a large tank in a vacuum condition to increase their thickness and become concentrate, then kept at a temperature of 7 or 8 degrees.

To produce factory-made juices, the fruit concentrate is mixed with purified water and dissolved sugar. Of course, it is worth mentioning that soluble sugar is used only in beverages and its amount depends on the product formulation of each product, and the rest of the products contain only concentrate and water. During the production process and according to the formulation of each product, a certain amount of some nutrients such as vitamin C and food colors such as beta-carotene as a precursor of vitamin A in the body, are added to a group of products. Besides, manufacturers use the gum they make from the fruits themselves as a solution to thicken their final product, after which pasteurization is performed and the bottles are prepared and filled. But the juice does not give you the real taste and aroma of the fruit due to the addition of chemicals and additives.

How to make N.F.C. juice

To make N.F.C juices, like F.C juices, the fruits are washed and then entered the dehydration stage. At this stage, as in the previous stage, the juice is completely obtained from fruit and this time it enters the pasteurization stage directly, and then it is placed in barrels inside the refrigerator with a temperature of minus 18 degrees to be poured into the bottle at the right time and presented to the public.

This method is one of the best methods of making juice, which causes the least damage to the vitamins and taste and aroma of the juice, and in all seasons, the same real and fresh taste can be brought to you.

Differences between F.C and N.F.C juices

1. F.C juices are light and clear in color due to the addition of water and filtration, but N.F.C juices are unclear and high in thickness.
2. F.C juices have an artificial taste and aroma due to the addition of sugar, chemicals, and extraction of natural odors and aromas as well as the addition of essential oils and other additives in the production of concentrates, and do not give you the pleasure of natural and healthy drinks, but N.F.C juices have no additives, thus Gives you the taste and aroma of a fresh drink.
3. F.C juices, due to the high heat given to them, require a temperature above zero for storage, which is a very low maintenance cost, but N.F.C juices require a temperature below zero for storage, which is a high maintenance cost.
4. F.C juices take less volume because the juice is completely taken out of fruit and in it is in form of concentrate, but N.F.C juices take up more volume and storage due to the lack of heat in the production process and the lack of elimination of natural water in the juice and essential essence extraction, so it is more expensive to maintain.
5. N.F.C juices are More concentrated than F.C.
6. N.F.C juices are healthier than F.C juices.
7. N.F.C juices are very customer friendly and you can have the true taste of the juice in all seasons.
