What Is a Juice Extractor?
A juice extractor is a machine specifically designed to finely crush or compress fruits and vegetables for juice extraction. While it performs a similar function to a juicer, a juice extractor typically grinds the produce, thereby extracting the juice more thoroughly.
An important measure in juice extraction is the extraction rate, which refers to the amount of juice obtained relative to the weight of the fruits or vegetables used. A higher extraction rate means more nutrient-rich juice is produced.
There are two primary types of juice extractors: rotary and compression. Compression extractors generally have a higher extraction rate, which can vary based on the type of produce used. However, a higher extraction rate may also result in extracting more fibrous content, leading to a juice with a somewhat coarse texture.
