Orange juice concentrates were packaged aseptically by a “Dole” aseptic canning machine using 6 oz metal cans. The final juice products (ll”, 34’, 44’, 58” Brix) were stored between -18” and 36°C and tested periodically for nonenzymatic browning, ascorbic acid destruction, furfural and sensory changes.

The algorithm is motivated by the fact that deletion of schwa is a diachronic and sociolinguistic phenomenon that facilitates faste...
