Abstract
  • 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 carotenoids, sugar and nonvolatile acid profiles, browning indices and Hunter color parameters. Considerable ascorbic acid degradation occurred during processing. The high juice yield (80%) and low acidity suggest its potential use as an alternate sweetener source. Sensory evaluation by a trained panel showed that concentrating the juice samples from flesh and rind can remove the rind aroma and flavor characteristics. Juices obtained from flesh and from flesh and rind were not significantly different (p [less than or equal to] 0.05) except for overall intensity and fresh fruit flavor characters. Single strength juice was significantly different (p [less than or equal to] 0.05) from concentrate on most aroma and flavor characters.
