Mandarin orange juice is best stored in the refrigerator as soon as possible after opening or juicing. Keep it in an airtight container to minimize oxidation and maintain its flavor. Freshly squeezed juice will last for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Commercially packaged juice should be consumed by the 'use by' or 'best by' date printed on the container and refrigerated after opening. For longer storage, mandarin orange juice can be frozen for up to several months, although the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
