Differences between cold pressed juice and fresh juice

When comparing cold pressed juice with fresh squeezed juice? What’s their specific difference? Which one has higher value of nutrition?

As we all known, common fresh fruit juice is made by cutting the fruits and vegetables by a high-speed rotating blade. During this process, the fruit cells are inevitably exposed to the air, which can become a heat source and destroy the enzymes within them. What’s more, fruit and vegetable pulps are apt to get oxidized for multiple times connection with air.

By contrast, cold pressed fruit juice is extracted by high pressure. In this way the cell wall of the fruits and vegetables are damaged in a much milder way, thus they can retain more nutrition contents. As mentioned by Max Gerson, the father of naturopathy, cold press technology is able to raise the extraction rate of certain kinds of nutrients, and keep the enzymes from destruction. therefore, cold pressed juice presents strong and better taste.
