"Not from concentrate" premium OJ like Tropicana Pure Premium is far more engineered than 'freshly squeezed' implies. To sell juice year-round, producers deaerate it — stripping oxygen — and hold it in million-gallon, nitrogen-blanketed tank farms for up to a year. That process also strips the flavor, so the same flavor-and-fragrance houses that formulate perfumes for Dior and Calvin Klein engineer proprietary 'flavor packs' (orange peel oils, aroma compounds like ethyl butyrate) that are added back in the final step to restore a consistent 'fresh' taste — and they don't appear on the label. So a marquee juice brand is also a quiet customer of the industrial flavor-and-fragrance supply chain.

Tropicana is no longer a PepsiCo brand. In a deal announced in 2021 and closed in Q1 2022, PepsiCo sold a 61% controlling stake in Tropicana, Naked and select juice brands to private-equity firm PAI Partners for ~$3.3B, forming the new Tropicana Brands Group; PepsiCo kept a 39% non-controlling interest plus some U.S. distribution rights. The iconic American breakfast-juice brand is now private-equity-controlled — a brand-vs-ownership gap most shoppers never see. [verify: 61% PAI/$3.3B/39% retained/closed Feb2022 confirmed]
