Orange Juice, How Long Hold Saved?
In fact, many people want to implement a healthy lifestyle, among others, by consuming fruit juice. But because of busy, we tend to want to be practical. Finally, instead of making their own juice, we buy only juice cartons or bottles in the supermarket, and then store it in the fridge.However, either because not drink juice, or yet again because of too busy, we do not have time to see the juice in the refrigerator. Finally, the juice is left for weeks in there, until finally we realized it still had juice. Honey, fruit juice is already in period expired.
Actually, you know, that some foods and drinks could actually lose the benefits of vitamins and antioxidants after exposure to air in a matter of days or weeks? Brierley Wright, MS, RD, a master’s in Nutrition Communication at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University, provides clues about how long should we store certain kinds of food. To be sure, certain nutrients will be lost after exposure to oxygen, heat (when cooking), and light.
Orange juice: 1 week
A glass of orange juice to meet the dose of vitamin C needed in a day. However, orange juice, packaged in a box or bottle, after opening will lose all the benefits of antioxidants after 1 week.To get her vitamin C, buy frozen juice concentrate and get a drink in a few days. Frozen concentrate can be exposed in a little light and air.
Green tea: 6 months
A study published in the Journal of Food Science in 2009 showed that the catechins (antioxidants that are often associated with reduced risk of some cancers) in green tea decreased clearly after some time. After 6 months, levels of catechin to 32 percent lower.Ensure that the antioxidant content preserved by storing the tea in the box sealed in cold and dark.
Olive oil: 6 months
Oil extra-virgin olive oil contains more than 45 heart-healthy antioxidants, but after saving for 6 months will lose its potency approximately 40 percent, according to researchers at the University of Foggia in Italy. Why does this happen? Bubbling oxygen in the bottle will destroy antioxidants.
Honey: 6 months
Researchers at the University of Illinois found that the antioxidant power of buckwheat honey and clover tree reduced 30-50 percent after 6 months. If you want to eat honey, buckwheat honey select which generally have more antioxidants. Honey is the color black, and has a very sharp smell. Meanwhile, the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the antioxidant levels of clover honey from the tree is not so high.
