Type of article: Article

Summary

THIS STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF HEAD SPACE VOLUME (20, 40 AND 80%) AND ITS COMPOSITION (AIR OR NITROGEN) ON THE STABILITY OF CONCENTRATED ORANGE JUICE (60 DEG BRIX) DURING REFRIGERATED STORAGE 273-275K (0-2 DEG C-). QUALITY PARAMETERS WERE CONSIDERED. WHEN HEAD SPACE VOLUME WAS UP TO 20% ITS COMPOSITION DID NOT AFFECT THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT DURING 10 MONTH STORAGE. FOR HIGHER HEAD SPACE VOLUMES IT IS RECOMMENDED TO KEEP THE JUICE UNDER NITROGEN ATMOSPHERE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE ASCORBIC ACID RETENTION AND TO PREVENT THE LOSS OF ORGANOLEPTIC ACCEPTANCE.
