Can juices keep for 36 hours?
by Janis
If you're juicing for other people can they keep it for 36 hours after delivery"? I want to start juicing for other people, the problem is that they want to know if the fresh juiced fruits and veggies will last at least 36 hours. From Sara: Janis, once juiced, juices do not keep as long as its natural whole form. When it gets exposed to the air, it starts to lose its nutrient rapidly and quickly spoil, so must be consumed almost immediately after being juiced. If you must juice and keep it for 'later', you can do so by carefully keeping the juice in a thermos flask, or an air-tight glass jar. Fill the juice to the brim, leaving very little space for air as the oxygen in the air can oxidize the juice. If using a glass jar, wrap the glass jar in aluminum foil to block out the light, and store it in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours. Light destroys some vitamins and enzymes. You can do this only if you are using either a single-gear or a twin-gear juicer as these type of juicers maintain the quality and stability of the juices. A centrifugal juicer doesn't do the job as well. I still always suggest that the juices are drunk immediately to get the most nutrition out of them. Happy juicing!
