How long does fresh-squeezed orange juice last?

Freshly squeezed orange juice has a limited shelf life because it doesn’t contain any preservatives. Generally, fresh-squeezed orange juice can stay good for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator if stored in an airtight container or bottle. Factors that can affect the juice’s shelf life include how well it’s been squeezed, the type of oranges used, and how well it’s been stored. If fresh-squeezed orange juice begins to ferment, becomes cloudy, or develops an unpleasant smell or taste, it should be discarded. To extend its shelf life, you can freeze freshly squeezed orange juice. Freezing can preserve it for several months. When thawing, it’s recommended to do so in the refrigerator and not allow it to thaw completely to retain as much flavor and nutrients as possible.
