The Alicyclobacillus species, which are spore-forming acidophil bacilli, remain in fruit juices, survive through usual sterilizing conditions for acidic beverages, and may cause deterioration. A. acidoterrestris has a D95°C value of 5.3 min, a growth pH range of 2.5 to 5.5, and a growth temperature range of 20°C to 55°C. A major consequence of deterioration in fruit juice is production of guaia...

Passion fruit, a native of tropical America (Brazil), belonging to the family Passifloraceae is a high value and export oriented crop. Passion fruit stands out not only for its exotic and unique flavor and aroma but also for its amazing nutritional and medicinal properties. The name "passion fruit" is not derived from any aphrodisiac quality of the fruit but was named, reportedly, by Spanish Ca...

BACKGROUND Children in the United States do not consume the recommended amounts of fruit. The economic and dietary consequences of meeting the shortfall in fruit consumption have not been evaluated. METHODS Analyses were based on a nationally representative sample of 4-18 year-old children (n = 2,647) from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The shortfall ...

UNLABELLED The disruption of plant cell walls during fruit juice processing results in the enzymatic formation of herbaceous-smelling green leaf volatiles (GLVs). Our objective was to assess the impact of thermal processing conditions on resulting levels of GLVs (hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, hexanol, cis-3-hexenol, and trans-2-hexenol), total phenols, monomeric anthocyanins, and percent polymeric ...

Juicers work by extracting the juice and some pulp from fruits and/or vegetables. Freshly squeezed juice is great for getting the vitamins, minerals, beneficial plant chemicals (phytochemicals), and carbohydrates that are extracted from a whole fruit. However, you won?t get much of the fiber, and depending on the fruit, you may not get any of it. Fiber [2] aids in the digestive process. It acts...

Morphological and biochemical studies of Crataegus crenulata Syn. Pyracantha crenulata fruits have been carried out and an herbal formulation was prepared from its fruit juice. The small sized berries weighing 250 mg each and 4000±32 fruits in 1 kg weight contain 25 per cent fruit juice. Biochemical analysis of fruit juice quantified 0.11±0.015 percent protein, 0.08±0.001 percent calcium, 0.022...

With SGF Profiling™ we introduce an NMR-based screening method for the quality control of fruit juices. This method has been developed in a joint effort by Bruker BioSpin GmbH and SGF International e.V. The system is fully automated with respect to sample transfer, measurement, data analysis and reporting and is set up on an Avance 400 MHz flow-injection NMR spectrometer. For each fruit juice a...

The probiotic juice is one of the newest innovation opportunities in various kinds of healthy drinkꞌs business. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of banana pureeꞌs on survival of Lactobacillus casei and physicochemical and sensory properties of cocktail juice containing apples and bananas juice during storage. The amounts of banana puree were added in 3 levels (7% and 15%) to appl...
