Fruit drink, 25% orange juice

Commercially prepared beverage made from 25% orange juice with added water, sugar and food acid.

The majority of nutrients including proximates and vitamins were determined in a composite of 10 purchases of 3 brands (6x Golden Circle 35%, 3x Prima 25%, 1x Homebrand 25%) of orange fruit drink purchased nationally in each state and territory capital city and two regional centres in NSW and QLD (2006 - KFP). Minerals and sugars (excluding sucrose) were determined in the 4 individual purchases of 25% juice fruit drink in the same program. Sucrose is estimated from the difference in label values for total sugars and the sum of other sugars in the same program. F, S, Cl, biotin and vitamin C were determined in a composite of 6 brands (Fruit Box, Prima, Sunrise, Berri, Farmland, No Frills) of 25% orange juice drink purchased in Adelaide (1990 - AGAL). Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, pantothenate, folate, tryptophan and fibre were estimated from orange juice. Fatty acids and cholesterol are imputed as 0.
