Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to study the effect
of two variables, sugar level (12-16 °Brix) and acid level (0.3-0.7
% T.A.) on sensory qualities and desirability of blackberry juice
drinks. Three blackberry juice levels (10%, 15%, and 20%) were used
to study the influence of juice flavor on...
Fresh ripe, cantaloupes were processed into juice and
juice concentrate. Processing trials were conducted on
fresh and frozen fruits with and without rind. The effects
of maceration enzymes and fining agents on yield and quality
were investigated. Compositional measurement included
°Brix, pH, titratable acidity, formol values, ascorbic acid
content, total...
Commercially bottled, vitamin C-fortified, cranberry
juice cocktail and cranberry-apple (cranapple) juice
drinks were stored at 5°C under simulated home-use
conditions. Ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic acid
(DHA) levels were evaluated over a period of seven days by
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Total
vitamin C content was also determined by...
It has long been recognized that fermented food products possess a characteristic but pleasant flavor. The use of such foods, however, has been limited by the presence of ethanol. Thus the objective of this research was to investigate the possibility of producing non-alcoholic fermented juice concentrates. Three varieties of juices,...
The phenolic profile of pineapple juice was analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC/Diode Array Detector, and 9 major peaks accounting for 70% of total peak area were characterized. None of these peaks are represented by the pineapple phenolics reported to be present by previous workers. Most of the major peaks are not...
Heat treated orange juice, both pasteurized and concentrate, are being increasingly
consumed in the U.S. Orange juice is primarily heat treated to increase its shelf life, by
curbing the growth of microorganisms; and to inactivate pectin methylesterase, which
demethylates pectin and leads to cloud loss in the juice. However, because...
A study has been made of the interrelations between certain of the physical and biochemical changes in three varieties of pears during storage and ripening. The metabolic changes which occurred in the fruit during cold temperature storage were found to influence with development of certain characteristics associated with dessert quality...
