11.6 In a process for concentrating 1000kg freshly extracted orange juice containing 15% solids, the juice is strained, yielding 750kg of strained juice and 250kg of pulpy juice The strained juice is concentrated in a vacuum evaporator to give an evaporated juice of 60% solids. The 250kg of pulpy juice is bypassed around the evaporator and mixed with the evaporated juice in a mixer to improve the flavour. The final concentrated juice, contnins 40% selids. Calculate
(a) The mass of finat concentrated juiee (kg) Ans: 375kg
(b) The concentration of solids in the strained juice Ans:10%.
(c) The concentration of solids in the pulpy juice. Ans:75%
