since the pandemic hit. Overall, compared to non-organic products, organic fruits and
vegetables contain a greater quantity of dry matter and phenolic compounds while
containing less nitrate, heavy metals, and pesticide residues. One of the most
important determinants of the quality of the final beverage is the optimal level of
maturity of the raw material. In order to maintain the nutritional value of the juice,
refining must be kept to a minimum while ensuring food safety (Borghoff, 2023).
Another health concern that organic blends may address is the presence of
added sugars, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial flavors and colors, which can
have detrimental effects on health. Organic blends, on the other hand, are made with
minimal processing and typically do not contain any added sugars or artificial additive

Production Process
The following includes the process of vegetable and fruit extraction. After
collecting all the ingredients needed, the procedure begins with washing all
vegetables and fruits and cutting them into the desired size by easily putting them
into a juicer machine. By having the extract of lemon grass, we need to boil it into a
clean boiling pot and boil it for about 20 minutes until the smells come out to its stem
and wait until it cools down. Next, after preparing a juicer machine that is already
cleaned and sanitized we can now put all vegetables and fruits one at a time into the
juicer machine while collecting its extract and putting them into clean and sanitized
plastic bottles. After we all collect the extract of vegetables and fruits, we can mix
and blend it by mixing them until the desired flavor is already achieved. Next is to
prepare all empty bottles with a transparent sticker with its flavor in it, and now we
can easily pour and filter the mixture of juices by having a stainless funnel and mesh
and slowly pour it inside the bottle. And lastly, the production team already sealed it
with its cup with a tamper to ensure the safety of juices, and put it inside the fridge to

Financial Statement
The company's current financial situation and how it used shareholder funds
are summarized in the table below. There are three main financial statements for
the company. The balance sheet comes first and displays the company's assets,
liabilities, and net value as of a certain date. The first one illustrates the company's
financial situation; the second one, the Income Statement (also known as the profit
and loss statement), explains how the company's net income is calculated over a
specified period. The Cash Flow Statement is the last one; it displays the cash
inflows and outflows that are a result of the business's operations over a given
period. These three assertions are useful resources that may be utilized to assess
a company's financial stability and give an instant overview of its financial well-
being.
