===Molecular composition=== [[File:Orange juice UHPLC UV chromatogram.png|thumb|right|UV 280 nm chromatogram after UHPLC separation of commercial orange juice, showing, amongst other peaks, [[narirutin]] and [[hesperidin]].]] On a molecular level, orange juice is composed of organic acids, sugars, and phenolic compounds. The main organic acids found in orange juice are citric, malic, and ascorbic acid. The major sugars found in orange juice are sucrose, glucose, and fructose. There are approximately 13 phenolic compounds in orange juice including hydroxycinnamic acids, flavanones, hydroxybenzoic acids, [[hesperidin]], [[narirutin]], and ferulic acid.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kelebek |first1=Hasim |last2=Selli |first2=Serkan |last3=Canbas |first3=Ahmet |last4=Cabaroglu |first4=Turgut |title=HPLC determination of organic acids, sugars, phenolic compositions and antioxidant capacity of orange juice and orange wine made from a Turkish cv.
