Book excerpt: How orange juice became a North American breakfast staple and what "100% pure orange juice" means today Close to three quarters of U.S. households buy orange juice. Its popularity crosses class, cultural, racial, and regional divides. Why do so many of us drink orange juice? How did it turn from a luxury into a staple in just a few years? More important, how is it that we don't know the real reasons behind OJ's popularity or understand the processes by which the juice is produced? In this enlightening book, Alissa Hamilton explores the hidden history of orange juice. She looks at the early forces that propelled orange juice to prominence, including a surplus of oranges that plagued Florida during most of the twentieth century and the army's need to provide vitamin C to troops overseas during World War II. She tells the stories of the FDA's decision in the early 1960s to standardize orange juice, and the juice equivalent of the cola wars that followed between Coca-Cola (which owns Minute Maid) and Pepsi (which owns Tropicana). Of particular interest to OJ drinkers will be the revelation that most orange juice comes from Brazil, not Florida, and that even "not from concentrate" orange juice is heated, stripped of flavor, stored for up to a year, and then reflavored before it is packaged and sold. The book concludes with a thought-provoking discussion of why consumers have the right to know how their food is produced.

Download or read book The orange juice business written by Marcos Fava Neves and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-07 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The orange juice chain is unique, probably a sui generis commodity. Although several countries produce oranges and juices, two regions in the world are the responsible for around 80% of the production. These are the states of Sao Paulo in Brazil and Florida in the USA. Although the emerging countries are growing in production, the juice consumer is also concentrated in the USA and Europe where more than 90% of consumption takes place. The characteristics of this chain are so unique, that it makes a nice laboratory for academics and business people to exercise strategies, since risk is spread. Orange is a very sensitive plant, and fluctuations in production are notorious. The logistics of this chain are fascinating. The product travels great distances to reach the consumer in a generally safe and efficient way. The industry assets such as vessels and tanks are specific. By reading this book, business people, academics and chain practitioners have an opportunity to understand this chain. and can analyse all of its numbers and economics and exercise strategy building. This is needed since the orange juice market is a stable market in the world, growing only 1% per year, and the production costs of this chain are rising fast, due to structural changes faced by world food and agribusiness companies i.e. labour costs, energy costs, land costs, environmental costs and others. The book will be of interest to all those concerned with agri food chains.

Book They Call Me Orange Juice

Download or read book They Call Me Orange Juice written by Audrey McDonald Atkins and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time she could barely see over the space bar of her old manual typewriter, to writing her popular southern culture blog, Folkways Nowadays, author Audrey McDonald Atkins has been sharing her downhome stories and essays about life in the South. In They Call Me Orange Juice, Atkins provides a nostalgic, poignant, and often-hilarious look at growing up in a small South Alabama town and how that upbringing still influences her today. What does it feel like to be the only Episcopalian at a Baptist church? How do you entertain yourself on a two-hour car trip with a dead man? What do you do when your foundation garment goes rogue in the middle of a busy intersection? And what price did they pay for calling her orange juice? Atkins answers all these questions and more in her own unmistakable Southern style. She recounts stories about the men who congregated in the police station and the eccentric characters who worked on Main Street, shares words of wisdom from her Granny, and tells how one superstitious old man could literally make it rain even during the dry, dog days of summer. Each person still lives in Atkins memory frozen in time just as they were in the 70s, and its these ghosts of bygone days who shine through in They Call Me Orange Juice.

Download or read book Oranges written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a short magazine article about oranges and orange juice, but the author kept encountering so much irresistible information that he eventually found that he had in fact written a book. It contains sketches of orange growers, orange botanists, orange pickers, orange packers, early settlers on Florida's Indian River, the first orange barons, modern concentrate makers, and a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida who may be the last of the individual orange barons. McPhee's astonishing book has an almost narrative progression, is immensely readable, and is frequently amusing. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles, because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too—with elements in it that range from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a custom of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.

Book Liquid Intelligence  The Art and Science of the Perfect Cocktail

Download or read book Liquid Intelligence The Art and Science of the Perfect Cocktail written by Dave Arnold and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 893 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 James Beard Award for Best Beverage Book and the 2015 IACP Jane Grigson Award. A revolutionary approach to making better-looking, better-tasting drinks. In Dave Arnold’s world, the shape of an ice cube, the sugars and acids in an apple, and the bubbles in a bottle of champagne are all ingredients to be measured, tested, and tweaked. With Liquid Intelligence, the creative force at work in Booker & Dax, New York City’s high-tech bar, brings readers behind the counter and into the lab. There, Arnold and his collaborators investigate temperature, carbonation, sugar concentration, and acidity in search of ways to enhance classic cocktails and invent new ones that revolutionize your expectations about what a drink can look and taste like. Years of rigorous experimentation and study—botched attempts and inspired solutions—have yielded the recipes and techniques found in these pages. Featuring more than 120 recipes and nearly 450 color photographs, Liquid Intelligence begins with the simple—how ice forms and how to make crystal-clear cubes in your own freezer—and then progresses into advanced techniques like clarifying cloudy lime juice with enzymes, nitro-muddling fresh basil to prevent browning, and infusing vodka with coffee, orange, or peppercorns. Practical tips for preparing drinks by the pitcher, making homemade sodas, and building a specialized bar in your own home are exactly what drink enthusiasts need to know. For devotees seeking the cutting edge, chapters on liquid nitrogen, chitosan/gellan washing, and the applications of a centrifuge expand the boundaries of traditional cocktail craft. Arnold’s book is the beginning of a new method of making drinks, a problem-solving approach grounded in attentive observation and creative techniques. Readers will learn how to extract the sweet flavor of peppers without the spice, why bottling certain drinks beforehand beats shaking them at the bar, and why quinine powder and succinic acid lead to the perfect gin and tonic. Liquid Intelligence is about satisfying your curiosity and refining your technique, from red-hot pokers to the elegance of an old-fashioned. Whether you’re in search of astounding drinks or a one-of-a-kind journey into the next generation of cocktail making, Liquid Intelligence is the ultimate standard—one that no bartender or drink enthusiast should be without.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If your hair is falling out, refusing to grow, dry, damaged or lifeless, you're not to blame! You have not been given the real reasons for hair loss and damaged hair! Many years ago I lost over half my head of hair. My shower drain was clogged with an alarming amount of fallen hair and my brush looked like a little matted wig. I was panicked to put it mildly. For an extended period of time prior to that, my hair was lifeless, thin and wouldn't grow. I wondered what was wrong that I couldn't grow a thick, beautiful head of hair. I took it upon myself to find the answers. I refused to go the toxic chemical "cure" route. What makes this book unique is that I lived through the nightmares of hair loss, thin, unhealthy and damaged hair myself. I came through it shining, having gained the knowledge, experience and results I'm now passing on to you in The Modern Rapunzel, a book every woman who is losing her hair can relate to, written by a woman who's been there and back. Find what's true! You probably know that a healthy lifestyle will help with hair problems. But what you may not know is how to select out what is true and not true from the enormous amount of available information on how to resolve hair problems. Not knowing where to start can be confusing and discouraging to say the least! I know. I had to sift through it all and throw out what didn't work and implement what does. I can now save you years of searching. The real reasons for hair loss and their remedies will make complete sense to you. In this 246-page book (with no complex technical terminology) you will learn: time-tested techniques on how to stop your hair from falling out and grow it back naturally! the little-known ways of how to create the head of hair you want without resorting to drugs, surgery or chemically-based products. This book is for the chemically-sensitive and health-minded individuals! the powerful and simple overnight remedy for thin, damaged and lifeless hair! the actions to take to help your hair grow longer, faster and thicker! (Hint - it's not a supplement) what natural products to use that will serve you for a lifetime! No more guess-work. how to deal with hair loss due to stress! and much, much more ... Here is what some readers have to say: "Jeanne, you are my Hairy Godmother! You might not believe me, but in just three weeks the new growth is at least four times thicker! My new hair is not limp or lifeless either! It is wavy and lush!" ~~ KR "In the first 3-4 months I had a round of new hair growth which is now long enough where it blends into the rest of my hair. The hair next to my scalp is the thickest it's been in years. You are helping me make a dream come true." ~~ MS "THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! My intuition was confirmed that African-American hair could be grown long, could be healthy and there were reasons why it wasn't like it should be. I found such basic, simple but very, very true information in Jeanne's book that made sense about why hair is the way it is and how one can do something about it right now - with no delay - not waiting weeks and weeks and weeks. It was very magical. I had some trouble with thinning spots of hair and this has started to thicken and improve with the procedures. Voila - there are results." ~~ AS "Your book saved me 40 years of research into health and beauty, so a big thanks! In my practice, I work with patients to achieve the kind of truth and empowerment that is the core of what your book is about. Thank you again for your beautiful insights and generous spirit. Gratefully," ~~ SW, Doctor of Osteopathy
