How we scored it
Pressed plant juice: water (n = 1) with dissolved sugars, minerals and plant metabolites (n = 1). No other atoms. 1.0 / 1.0 = 1.00.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
Dominant route is mechanical pressing of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), with filtering or preservation. No commercially significant alternative route exists.
