About Juice

Our juice business offers orange, lime, lemon, and apple juices, as well as natural citrus flavors and fragrance ingredients, dry peel for the pectin industry, and animal feed.

When we process citrus fruits, nothing is wasted. Juice is extracted, peel is dried, oils are recovered and all remaining pulp is transformed into fiber-rich citrus-pulp pellets used as an animal feed ingredient.

Oil essences and aromas are primarily used by the flavor and fragrance industries, while dry peel from ripe oranges, lemons and limes is used to extract pectin, which is sold to the food industry as a gelling agent, thickening agent and stabilizer.

Brazil is by far the largest orange juice producer in the world, responsible for 70% of global production.
