I know it's best to drink your juice freshly made, but every now and then that won't work for me. (if I need to pack a lunch) I have read that you can pack it in an airtight container for a short period of time. What kinds of airtight containers do you all use, if you do this? And how airtight does it have to be, if that makes sense?

    I use ball jars and I fill them as high as the will go..if I don't have enough juice to fill it I add a little water to the top.

    Thanks! I used a Ball jar this morning, but there was a lot of room left at the top. I need to buy smaller canning jars.

    I have Rubbermaid bottles that I bought at Target which I really like.

    Due to my schedule, I only use my juicer every other day, and I always make plenty for the time in between. I've never had a problem but I always put it in the fridge immediately. And there have been a few occasions that I've had the juice up to 3 days and it was still fine (although I don't know if any nutrients were lost).

    i would suggest a dark flask, like a sigg and to fill it to the top to minimise oxidisation,

    the enzymes start dying after 10 minuts, so important to refrigerate straiht away. you should get nutritial benefit for up to 8 hours without refridgeration.

    is it oxidation rather than change in temp that neutralises the enzymes?
