Yes. The more acidic the juice (citrus juices especially) the faster the metal will rust. Acid is an even more powerful oxidizer than water. Also, juices actually are made of mostly water, which in and of itself would cause metal to rust.

Iron will rust more quickly in salt water than fresh freshwater. The salt in the water accelerates the corrosion process.
Does saltwater make metal rust faster than unsalted water?
Salt water does make nails rust faster than non-salted water, because when salt is added to water, it will rust the top layer of the nail, and then make the nail basically shed its top layer. Then the salt will rust that layer, and this process continues until the whole nail is rusted. Normal water can only really rust the top layer, and can't get to the rest of the nail.
Would a nail rust faster in salt water or tap water?
First of all Nails in salt water rust quicker. That's because salt is sodium chloride and that affects a nail by rusting it.No i did a experiment on which one rust faster. After 5 days the nail in the tap water rusted way faster than the nail in the salt water. With DISTILLED water, the nail will not rust as fast as the salt. TAP water will rust faster then salt.
Do alloys rust faster than pure elements?
