Even when we buy orange juice that lists only “orange juice” as its ingredients, store bought OJ looks and tastes really different from OJ when I run a couple of oranges through the juicer. Store bought is more opaque and tends to just taste different from biting into an orange. Why?

I knew an orange farmer that explained this to me. When oranges are juiced the industrial way, they mash the whole fruit, including the skin. The white part under the zestable skin is bitter, and greatly alters the taste. Then it is pasteurized, among other things. Another redditor gives a more detailed explanation as to what else is done to this juice.
