Depending on the process of manufacture, Orange Juice is labeled in different ways. The most commonly available kind of Orange Juice is frozen concentrated Orange Juice.

Reconstituted Juice is Juice created by adding Water to this frozen concentrate.
There are advantages and disadvantages to the various types of Orange Juice. While canned Juice retains much more Vitamin C than reconstituted Juice, it lasts a shorter time and tends to lose its flavor. Freshly squeezed Orange Juice, as the name suggests, is squeezed from the Fruit and not pasteurized or processed in any way. It has an even shorter shelf life, but the most flavor and vitamins of all the different types of Orange Juice.
