Notes:
Fresh Valencia orange juice was treated with 0, 70, and 350 ppm of commercial pectic enzymes, concentrated to 72° Brix and stored at –7°, –1°, 7°, and 13°C for up to 6 months. The 70 ppm enzyme treatment successfully reduced initial apparent viscosity by about 25%. For the 70 ppm enzyme treated samples after 6 months storage at all four temperatures, juice cloud remained acceptable, furfural remained below the significant level, and at −1°C, vitamin C levels were above 32 mg/100 mL. There was no significant difference in taste after 6 months storage at −7°C between control and 70 ppm enzyme treated samples. Product quality of enzymatically treated orange concentrate stored at refrigerated temperatures was of sufficient quality to realize potential savings of 17% in storage and 30% in refrigeration.
