If I were to guess, I'd say they had a process where they heated it
quickly/instantly to the pasteurization temperature, then probably
heat/cool it back down to packaging temperature rather quickly.
Maybe they run it through tubes that are steamed and then chilled quickly,
like a distillery tube setup?
I don't think it would make much difference chemically,but since it is
basically cooking the juice, you might get a teensy flavor difference.
