Storage and Preservation Procedure
At Prana, we are committed to providing you with the freshest and highest-quality fruit juices. To ensure that every bottle of Prana juice retains its natural goodness, flavor, and nutritional value, it is important to follow the correct storage and preservation guidelines. Proper storage helps maintain the freshness and extend the shelf life of our juices, ensuring you get the best experience with every sip.
1. Storage Before Opening
To keep Prana juices at their best quality, follow these storage guidelines:
Temperature: Store Prana juices in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ideally, keep them in a room temperature range between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F).
Avoid Humidity: Store bottles in a location with low humidity to prevent condensation, which could potentially affect the product quality.
Keep Away from Strong Odors: Like many food products, juices can absorb odors from their surroundings. Keep Prana juices away from strong-smelling substances to preserve their natural taste.
2. Storage After Opening
Once you open a bottle of Prana juice, the following guidelines will help you preserve its freshness:
Refrigeration: Always refrigerate Prana juice after opening. The cold temperature helps slow down the breakdown of the juice and maintains its freshness.
Consume Quickly: For the best flavor and quality, consume the juice within 3 to 5 days after opening. After this period, the juice may begin to lose its nutritional value and flavor.
Sealing: Make sure the bottle is tightly closed to prevent air from entering, which can lead to oxidation and spoilage. If you’re transferring the juice to a different container, ensure it is clean and sealed properly.
3. Freezing (Optional)
For longer storage, you can freeze Prana juices. Freezing can extend the shelf life while maintaining most of the juice’s quality. However, it may affect the texture slightly after thawing.
Freezing Method: If you choose to freeze Prana juice, pour it into a freezer-safe container, leaving some space at the top to account for expansion as the liquid freezes. Avoid freezing the juice in its original bottle if it’s made of glass, as it may break during freezing.
Thawing: To thaw frozen juice, place the container in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Do not thaw at room temperature to prevent any bacterial growth.
Note: Freezing may change the texture slightly but does not affect the juice’s nutritional value. Always consume frozen juice within 1-2 months for the best taste and quality.
4. Best Before Date
Prana juices are labeled with a “Best Before” date, which indicates the ideal time to consume the product for maximum flavor and freshness. While the juice may still be safe to consume after the “Best Before” date, we recommend enjoying it before this date for the best experience.
5. Preservation Tips
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Exposure to sunlight can cause the juice to lose its vibrant color and nutritional value. Always store Prana juice in a dark place, such as a cupboard or pantry, until you’re ready to consume it.
Don’t Mix with Other Liquids: For the best flavor and preservation, we recommend consuming the juice as is. Mixing with other liquids could dilute the flavor and reduce the juice’s shelf life.
Check for Quality: Before consuming, always check for any changes in appearance, smell, or taste. If the juice looks discolored, smells off, or has an unusual taste, discard it to ensure your safety.
6. Environmental Considerations
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we encourage you to recycle your Prana juice bottles. All our bottles are made from recyclable materials. Please follow your local recycling guidelines to properly dispose of the packaging.
By following these storage and preservation procedures, you can enjoy the freshness, flavor, and health benefits of Prana juice for as long as possible. Our goal is to ensure that every bottle you open delivers the highest quality and a truly refreshing experience.
