Need a googlemaster for the freezing point of OJ

**Bojangles69** · 01-26-2007, 06:27 PM

Ok I have 3 gallons of OJ i bought on sale outside on the porch. (im an oj addict btw)

My question is.. and the winner will win a.... well... you'll win a new FACT!!!

lol
I know its not really that exciting but..

WHAT IS THE FREEZING POINT OF OJ?

I was in my house and saw the weathermen on tv sayins its 7 degrees outside and i thought "oh shiiit!!!! the oj!!!!!!!!!!!!!" So I ran outside and its not even slushy. I was always good at chemistry but I cant figure this out and googles not helping. It cant be salt, and sugar drinks get slushy, so why is it still completeley liquid? And its been outside for like 8 or 9 hours now fyi.

having a 3 gallon jug of oj will take a while to freeze. It takes around 32 F but less since it has more molecules and since temp will drop very slowly, will take a while

its mostly water, will be the same as water i'd imagine...a large jug will take some time

ahh good try, but i meant 3 one gallon jugs of OJ.

Its been below freezing all day, they've been on the porch since 12, now its 7:50pm. And I dont see even the smallest crystal of ice in them. And it *IS* in the single digits outside. My snot was freezing as I breathed in.

But you may still have a valid point about the volume thing, if only in increments of a gallon. Its just one of those things man must know in life before he dies I suppose.

I will answer your question with a question. Who the fvck cares?

The ascorbic acid in OJ will reduce the freezing point, as will the dissolved sugars and there will be a small percentage of various salts in there too!

I use a sub-zero fridge to keep my water and juices in, it sits at 0°C normally (32°F) but during my last DNP cycle i turned it down to -4°C and the OJ was just about still liquid then, so I'm gonna go with about -°5C or -°6C.

Listed in a patent for "Process of preparing frozen juice product" orange juice freezes at about 27 degrees F.

Smart answer right there.
Makes logical sense too, so I think Im gonna bring 2 jugs in and leave one out till morning and if it cracks f*ck it than Ill have an idea what temp it freezes.
I dont have room in the fridge and I cant drink warm oj but thanks for the response!!

Actually, your weatherman just sucks. It's sunny and 70 out.

Touche'

How much pulp is in there. I remember leaving a bottle of OJ with heavy pulp in my car over night when the temps got in the single digits, and it did not freeze, however, I did the same with no pulp and it froze.

**Snrf** · 01-26-2007, 06:58 PM

google is truly amazing

If theres a good air gap at the top it shouldn't break!!

Or do you guys have glass containers?!?!

(Ours are plastic!!)

yep its plastic, im just afraid the water in the oj will expand and break, i know it does with soda, or the metal cans at least, but now that i think about it ive never seen a plastic 2 liter bottle of soda crack from freezing before.

this just get weirder and weirder.
plastic should stretch a little bit, but a gallons worth of liquid freezing might be too much pressure, im not sure.

What's to think about? Just be drunk all day.

**Slowhand** · 01-26-2007, 09:54 PM

lol yeah a two liter bottle of soda won't crack when frozen... i've stuck dry ice and water int hem before and they don't explode untilt he bottle is like two times it's normal size
