posted: In an effort to produce enough OJ for an entire year, Tropicana and other manufacturers must gather, juice and store the oranges while they are in season. To keep them from spoiling, they have to remove oxygen from the juice, which also strips out the flavor. The flavor is then added back into the juice via flavor packs, which are made from orange oil and other parts of the orange.

posted: There's a dirty secret in your glass of orange juice. Even though it says "not from concentrate," it probably sat in a large vat for up to year with all the oxygen removed from it. This allows it to be preserved and dispensed all year-round. Taking out all the O2 also gets rid of all the flavor. So the juice makers have to add the flavors back in using preformulated recipes full of chemicals called "flavor packs." Mmm, delicious, fresh-squeezed ethyl-butyrate!
