Why is there a difference of color between homemade and store bought orange juice?

I noticed store bought orange juice is 'thicker' looking and sometimes almost a 'milky orange' color while homemade is not. Maybe the pasteurization?

Why is there a difference of color between homemade and store bought orange juice?
store bought orange juice usually uses carotene (totally safe and organic) to give the juice the pretty orange color. homemade fresh squeezed oj doesn't have that. just be sure when you are squeezing your own juice to drink what you squeeze the same day. if it's not pasteurized you could get sick if it lays around
Reply:It could be that there are additives in the store bought one, read the carton. It could be the type of orange used to make it as well.
Reply:The homemade one is made from oranges.
Reply:There generally are 4 types of store bought oj: no pulp, a little pulp, lots of pulp. All from real oranges. The 4th is oj from concentrate. (yuk) The best, of course is home made from valencia oranges: more juice, thin skin. The choice is yours. Compare the different brands in the stores, read the labels closely. Then maybe you can figure out color and substance. Enjoy!
