The concentration of nitrate and nitrite in fruit juice products varies depending on their origin, storage condition and processing technologies .The objectives of this study were: To determine the concentration of nitrate and nitrite levels in most known fruit juices available commercially in the form of packaged in Tehran market (Iran), by spectrophotometric methods, and to compare these resu...

Fifty-one kiwifruit juice samples of seven kiwifruit varieties from five regions in China were analyzed to determine their polyphenols contents and to trace fruit varieties and geographical origins by multivariate statistical analysis. Twenty-one polyphenols belonging to four compound classes were determined by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultra-high-resolution TOF ...

Analysis of heavy metals was performed in packaged and fresh fruit juices along with powdered drink mixes (Tangs), purchased from different stores Kathmandu Valley, using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). Selection Fruit Juices Tangs done five fruits, viz., apple, orange, pineapple, pomegranate, mango an attempt to quantify four metals, i.e., Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe) Lead...

BACKGROUND Ascorbic acid is one of the most important vitamins to monitor in dietary sources (juices and vitamins) and biological liquids. RESULTS Silica and silica-titania xerogels doped with Mo,P-heteropoly compounds (HPC) have been synthesized varying titanium(IV) and HPC content in sol. Their surface area and porosity have been studied with nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron micros...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the performances of methods such as sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (its) and 26s (d1/d2) regions of ribosomal dna, rflp analysis of the its region and commercial biochemical test kit for the identification of the yeasts isolated during spontaneous fermentation of fresh crushed pineapple juice. the experiments were conducted in thailand and au...

The purpose of this study is to review the effects of High Hydrostatic Pressure Processing (HPP) on the safety of different fruit derivatives (juices, nectars, jams, purees, pastes . . . ), considering the types established in the European legislation and some other vegetable-based beverages (mainly juices and smoothies). The main inactivation processes and mechanisms on microorganisms are revi...

Liquid Chromatography coupled to tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with an AB SCIEX 4000 Q TRAP system was used for comprehensive fingerprinting of several fruit juices. Metabolomic data processing tools were used for authentication, i.e. classification of juices and adulteration detection. The developed statistical model was able to reliably detect 25% of orange juice adulteration with apple...

Contamination with 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) was found during studies by Würzburg University in 28 out of 35 samples of baby food and fruit juices for infants . The contamination stemmed from the lids of jars and bottles in which the foods and fruit juices had been packed. Salts of 2-ethylhexanoic acid are used as stabilisers during the production of sealing compounds in order to render the ...

BACKGROUND The nutritional content of Americans' shopping carts is suboptimal despite federal dietary guidance, in this case, the MyPlate consumer icon which displays desired proportions of vegetables, fruits, dairy, grains and protein foods for consumption. Consumers mention print advertising-such as weekly sales circulars-frequently as influencing their grocery shopping decisions. METHODS T...
