Studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and TSS are important in food products. It seems that cultivars have a profound influence on these factors. The goal of the present study is to investigate on flavor components and juice quality parameters of two mandarin cultivars. In the last week of January 2012, at least 10 mature fruit were collected and their peel oil was extracted using cold-p...

With the purpose of developing an alternative set yogurt with high consumer acceptability, passion fruit juice, at levels that varied from 0 to 10%, was incorporated into yogurt, and effects on fermentation kinetics, physicochemical properties, functionality were evaluated. The results showed addition juice simultaneously propitious for milk acidification in earlier stages reduced rate later fe...

background and objectives: pulsed electric field (pef) is a novel emerging technology which is believed to have the potential to substitute conventional thermal pasteurization (htst). in the current study pef was compared with htst based on microbial inactivation and quality attributes. materials and methods: juice was prepared by extracting it from semirum apples. they were chilled to 4ºc over...

The study aims to investigate the effect of repetitive ultraviolet irradiation (UV–UV) and the combination effect with dimethyl dicarbonate (UV–DMDC–UV) on the physico-chemical properties and microbiological stability of pineapple juice. UV dosages of 10.76 mJ/cm2 percycle and 250 ppm of DMDC were used. There was a significant decrease in turbidity, total phenolic and vitamin C in the treated j...

Fresh sugarcane juice is sold by street vendors without any heat treatment in São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. Twenty-four samples of point-ofsale juice were tested by standard methods to determine heterotrophic bacteria, total and thermo-tolerant coliform counts, Salmonella, and parasites in the juice. 25% of samples showed poor sanitary conditions, with thermotolerant coliform levels higher tha...

The study was carried out for the preparation of good quality mixed vegetable juice from tomato, cucumber and pumpkin. Three formulations of different percentages of juices of each vegetable were used for the preparation of mixed juice. The products were then analyzed for their chemical analysis, statistical analysis, sensory evaluation, microbiological study and storage studies during 60 days ...

Color defines one aspect of quality for tomato and tomato products. Carotenoid pigments are responsible for the red and orange colors of tomato fruit, and thus color is also of dietary interest. The aims of this study were (1) to determine the relative importance of field sampling and analytical replication when measuring lycopene and beta-carotene in tomato fruit and (2) to determine the effec...
