The popularity of orange juice dramatically increased again with the development of the commercial orange juice industry in the late 1920s. In the 1890s, the demand for them greatly increased because physicians discovered that drinking the juice of oranges or other citrus fruits could prevent scurvy, a vitamin deficiency disease. By the 1800s, citrus fruits achieved worldwide distribution. From there, they were carried to the New World by explorers where they spread to Florida and Brazil by the sixteenth century. Arab traders transported oranges to eastern Africa and the Middle East sometime between 100 and 700 a.d., and during the Arab occupation of Spain, citrus fruits first arrived in southern Europe. One variety, the citron, was carried to the Middle East some-time between 400 and 600 b.c. The latter two types are also known as Ready To Drink (RTD) juices.Ĭitrus fruits, like oranges, have been cultivated for the last 4,000 years in southern China and Southeast Asia. Orange juice is commonly marketed in three forms: as a frozen concentrate, which is diluted with water after purchase as a reconstituted liquid, which has been concentrated and then diluted prior to sale or as a single strength, unconcentrated beverage called NFC or Not From Concentrate.
