Tips
How to store
Apple juice stored for less than 12 hours can be drunk with confidence. Apple juice stored for too long will spoil and can no longer be drunk.
Lemon juice prevents oxidation of squeezed apple juice. It is best to store in a sealed jar to reduce contact with air.
Apple juice contains phenolic substances. It combines with oxygen in the air to produce quinones. Further oxidation of quinone will form melanin, which will darken apple juice.

Also, a glass of apple juice after exercise is also a very good choice.
