Embodiments related to juicing methods and apparatuses for extracting juice from food matter using juicer cartridges are described. In one embodiment, a juicer cartridge may include one or more separate internal compartments. Food matter loaded into the juicer cartridge may be compressed by a corresponding juicer and expelled through an outlet that may be sealed until activation. Food matter may be pre-sized according to various physical characteristics, and the juicer cartridge may be injected with a gas to enhance shelf life and reduce nutrient loss. The juicer may also be provided with “smart” functionality to provide safety features, track usage, and enhance the operator experience. Several embodiments of packing systems for preparing juicer cartridges are also described.

1. A juicer cartridge comprising: a liquid impermeable outer compartment containing a first liquid impermeable compartment having a first opening and a second liquid impermeable compartment having a second opening, the first and second compartments containing food matter;a first channel coupled to the first opening and having a first seal positioned between the first opening and the first channel;a second channel coupled to the second opening and having a second seal positioned between the second opening and the second channel;a preformed outlet;a primary channel positioned within the liquid impermeable compartment and connected at one end to the preformed outlet, the first channel and the second channel being in fluid communication with the primary channel, a portion of the primary channel between the preformed outlet and the first and second compartments defining a mixing chamber, wherein pressing the liquid impermeable outer compartment extracts juice from the food matter contained in the first liquid impermeable compartment and the second liquid impermeable compartment and applies a pressing pressure to the first and second seals, the first seal configured to burst above the threshold pressing pressure and release the food matter contained in the first compartment into the first channel, the second seal configured to burst above the threshold pressing pressure and release the food matter contained in the second compartment into the second channel such that the food matter contained in the first compartment and the food matter contained in the second compartment mix in the mixing chamber and are released through the preformed outlet. 2. The juicer cartridge of claim 1, wherein the combining chamber includes one or more mixers, the one or more mixers comprising vanes. 3. The juicer cartridge of claim 1, wherein the food matter is at least one of a gel, powder, dissolvable substance, flavoring, additive, dietary supplement, vitamin, extract, mineral, dried fruit, dried vegetable, nut, herb, freeze dried oil, spice, and alcohol. 4. The juicer cartridge of claim 1, wherein the liquid impermeable outer compartment is capable of supporting pressures sufficient to extract liquid from the food matter. 5. The juicer cartridge of claim 1, wherein the food matter contains liquid and comprises at least one of fruit, vegetables, and greens. 6. A juicer cartridge comprising: a liquid impermeable outer compartment;a plurality of liquid impermeable compartments positioned in the liquid impermeable outer compartment and each having an opening and a seal over the opening, the plurality of liquid impermeable compartments containing food matter;a mixing chamber positioned within the liquid impermeable compartment, the mixing chamber including a plurality of vanes positioned therein, the plurality of liquid impermeable compartments each having the opening thereof coupled to a first end of the mixing chamber; anda preformed outlet connected to a second end of the mixing chamber opposite the first end such that in response to pressure applied to the liquid impermeable outer compartment, the seals of the plurality of liquid impermeable compartments burst and extracted juice flows from the plurality of liquid impermeable compartments into the mixing chamber and out through the preformed outlet. 7. The juicer cartridge of claim 6, wherein the plurality of vanes are helical vanes. 8. The juicer cartridge of claim 6, wherein the material is at least one of a gel, powder, dissolvable substance, flavoring, additive, dietary supplement, vitamin, extract, mineral, dried fruit, dried vegetable, nut, herb, freeze dried oil, spice, and alcohol. 9. The juicer cartridge of claim 6, wherein the liquid impermeable outer compartment is capable of supporting pressures sufficient to extract liquid from the food matter. 10. The juicer cartridge of claim 6, wherein the food matter is at least one of a gel, powder, dissolvable substance, flavoring, additive, dietary supplement, vitamin, extract, mineral, dried fruit, dried vegetable, nut, herb, freeze dried oil, spice, and alcohol. 11. The juicer cartridge of claim 6, wherein the liquid impermeable outer compartment is capable of supporting pressures sufficient to extract liquid from the food matter. 12. The juicer cartridge of claim 6, wherein the food matter contains liquid and comprises at least one of fruit, vegetables, and greens.
