This paper summarizes the information on the occurrence of phenolic compounds in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) fruit and juice, with special reference to their health related properties. As phytochemical molecules belonging to polyphenols are numerous, we will focus on the main apples phenolic compounds with special reference to changes induced by apple cultivar, breeding approaches, fruit p...

thermal conductivity is an important property of juices in the prediction of heat- and mass-transfer coefficients and in the design of heat- and mass-transfer equipment for the fruit juice industry. an artificial neural network (ann) was developed to predict thermal conductivity of pear juice. temperature and concentration were input variables. thermal conductivity of juices was outputs. the op...

The mechanism of action of the antidiabetic capacity of Momordica charantia is still under investigation. Here, we assessed phytochemical compositions, antioxidant activity, and effects of total and filtered fruit and leafy stem juices of Momordica charantia on human T cell proliferation and differentiation through quantification of Th1/Th2 cytokines. In the absence of stimulation, total fruit ...

The abundance of fresh drinks based on fruit juices, especially citrus juices, and minimally processed products allow consumers to ingest a wide variety of antioxidants in the diet, such as vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds. Pulsed electric fields (PEF) and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) are emerging technologies in the field of food preservation. They have the po...

BACKGROUND Eating more fruits and vegetables adds underconsumed nutrients to diets, reduces the risks for leading causes of illness and death, and helps manage body weight. This report describes trends in the contributions of fruits and vegetables to the diets of children aged 2-18 years. METHODS CDC analyzed 1 day of 24-hour dietary recalls from the National Health and Nutrition Examination ...

Kiwifruit [Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.)C. F. Liang & A. R. Ferguson] is nutritionally rich fruit with high ascorbic acid content (193mg/100g) but the extraction of its juice is difficult due to slimy pulp.To overcome this problem a combination of enzymes (pectinase 0.025g/kg + amylase 0.025g/kg + mash enzyme 0.05g/kg) were used to macerate pulp (2h at 50C) and thus, facilitating the extractio...

This study evaluated the effect of different sweeteners on the sensory profile, acceptance, and drivers of preference of passion fruit juice samples sweetened with sucrose, aspartame, sucralose, stevia, cyclamate/saccharin blend 2:1, and neotame. Sensory profiling was performed by 12 trained assessors using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA). Acceptance tests (appearance, aroma, flavor, te...

BACKGROUND In a referral population of young children, excessive fruit juice consumption has been reported to be a contributing factor in nonorganic failure to thrive. OBJECTIVE To evaluate, in a population-based sample of healthy children, fruit juice consumption and its effects on growth parameters during early childhood. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING General primary care health...
