A sweetened and concentrated orange juice process has been developed . The system is set up in two step process. The first process produces an orange juice blend containing 23.3% soluble solids. This is accomlished by blending stored orange juice concentrate with the current crop of freshly squeezed juice. The currently produced juice contains 15% soluble solids and 0.9% acid. The stored concentrate contains 30% soluble solids and 4% acid. The product from this first process produces 2250 kg. It is then desired to increase the total solids to 45% by evaporation and adding sugar to give 10% of added sugar in the concentrated sweetened juice. In part 1) Calculate the amounts of currently processed juice and stored concentrate needed to produce 2250 kg of the blend containing 23.3% soluble solids and calculate the percent acid in the blend. In part 2) Calculate the quantity of water which must be removed, and of sugar which must be add with respect to the 3000 kg of sweetened concentrate that is produced. Write the TMB equation and solve for the 3 unknowns (amount of currently process juice, amount of stored concentrate, and percent acid in the blend) Write the TMB equation and solve for the two unknowns (quantity of water to be removed and amount of sugar to be added), include a list of all assumptions.
