Summary

LIME JUICE (CITRUS AURANTIFOLIA, SWINGLE) WAS CONCENTRATED USING FOUR METHODS. FREEZE-CONCENTRATION (I), EVAPORATION UNDER VACUUM WITH WITH PASTEURIZED JUICE (II), CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATION INTO PULP AND SERUM ; THE SERUM WAS CONCENTRATED ALONE, USING FREEZE-CONCENTRATION (III), EVAPORATION (IV) AND RECOMBINED WITH THE PULP TO PRODUCE THE CONCENTRATE. THE MOST IMPORTANT FLAVOURING MATERIALS ARE MAINLY IN THE PULP PORTION, WHICH IS ABOUT 5% OF THE WHOLE JUICE. CONCENTRATE PRODUCED BY FREEZE-CONCENTRATION OF THE SERUM (III) WAS THE BEST ONE, FOLLOWED BY CONCENTRATE I, IV AND FINALLY II. CONCENTRATES STORED AT 261 K (-12 DEG C) FOR ABOUT 270 DAYS OR AT 277.5 K (4.5 DEG C) FOR 90-150 DAYS HAD A VERY GOOD QUALITY.
