I don't know that it qualifies as "pasteurized" but the process of
concentrating the juice heat it up considerably.

Concentrates

Concentrates are made by taking a fruit juice, heating it to a high
temperature and evaporating off the water. This leaves a thick syrup that is
a small proportion of the original volume (as low as 12% with oranges). This
is packed in drums and shipped across the world. At the bottling stage,
water is added back to blend the juice up to its normal strength. Some
manufacturers then use things called 'add backs' to give the juice a 'fresh'
aroma and compensate for the effect of concentrating.

The sole reason for concentrating a juice is to reduce shipping and storage
costs. It is definitely not in the best interest of the fruit or the person
drinking it.
