Most fresh squeezed orange juice has a higher alcohol content than 0.5%
- Falling3 5y agoGot a source on that? What I'm seeing is 0.16% as a high for orange juice.
- debacle 5y agoLooking for a source, but oranges on the tree can be up to 4% alcohol when picked. All of my DDG searches are just telling me how to make swill from concentrated orange juice.
- Falling3 5y agoAren't oranges typically picked well before much if any fermentation has had a chance to take place?
- LukeShu 5y agoThe only good-ish citation for alcohol content in OJ I could find is https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5421578/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5421578/ which found 0.16–0.73 g/L ethanol content in OJ (but with low sample size, so...). To 1 sig-fig, ethanol has a density of 0.8 g/cm³, so that comes out to an ABV of 0.02%–0.09%; much lower than 0.5%.
