![]() Storage temperature ranges from 0☌ to −5☌. The juice produced at various concentration levels also exhibited appreciable levels of antioxidant character.Īfter concentration, the produced orange juice concentrate is usually stored in stainless steel tanks before filling into polyline steel drums. However, the method was announced to be safe regarding the sensory, nutritional, and organoleptic attributes as compared to thermal evaporation. It was observed that permeate flux across the membrane decayed with the increase in the concentration of viscosity of the juice. Briefly, clarified raw juice (9.5☋rix) was first concentrated by ultrafiltration (24☋rix) and then distilled up to 65☋rix following a two-step DCO. Recently, a research followed direct-contact membrane distillation or osmosis (DCO) to concentrate the clarified orange juice. ![]() In this situation, a highly preferred embodiment should contain a concentrator equipped with scraped wall heat exchanger which allows the crystals to recrystallize and grow in size (more than 100 μm) under conditions such that essentially pure ice is retained at the exit of the tank. However, the juice concentration system and packing unit should be maintained under an inert environment to avoid oxidation and loss of low boiling aroma and flavor compounds. In orange juice, when concentrated following freezing concentration, the nutritional losses would be only due to phase changes because solids adhered to or occluded on ice or washed with melt ice. The freeze concentration is accomplished in a manner in which the water is removed as substantially or essentially as pure ice crystals. The serum portion is concentrated by freeze concentration or sublimation concentration. Moreover, the product is substantially free of oxidative degradation products. Substantially 100% of the nonvolatile solids are retained. ![]() When sublimation concentration is used, the pulp does not have to be separated from the serum. The freeze/sublimation concentration step can be accomplished by freeze concentration or by sublimation concentration. The filtrate portion mainly comprises 7%–20% solids in water and is concentrated by taking out pure water through freeze concentration. The orange juice concentrate is often produced by filtering the extracted materials into what is known as pulp and a serum (filtrate portion). For example, ethyl butyrate and D- limonene are important contributors toward the fruity character of orange juices and should be retained in any case about 0.1% of the aroma and flavor volatile compounds. Unfortunately, the aroma and flavor volatiles are low boiling in nature and are hard to retain. Orange juice concentrates usually contain more than 35% solids comprising pulp, non-volatiles, pectin and the highest possible level of retained aroma and flavor volatile compounds. Nowadays, concentrates are frequently used as flavoring in alcoholic, carbonated, and noncarbonated beverages, candies, baked items, and culinary goods. Besides the oxygen-barrier nature of the packaging, higher storage temperature promotes the oxygen permeability of the packaging material. The oxygen-barrier property of the packaging materials determines the extent of oxygen penetration. Vitamin C degradation associated with the availability of oxygen has also been nominated as one of the major causes of the flavor changes. High acidity and storage temperature promote such changes. Gradually developing unpleasant odors deteriorate the original taste of the product. ![]() During storage, changes in these flavor fractions may lead to a loss of freshness and original taste. ![]() Orange juice possesses a very delicate flavor owing to the presence of a mixture of volatile compounds. Oranges are the most frequently processed fruits for the production of juices and juice concentrates . Whereas “not from concentrate” juice is produced by juicing the fruit before simply pasteurizing it. Before it is packaged up and sold to the public, water is added again and then pasteurized. Juices made from concentrates are juiced directly from the fruit before being filtered to extract the water through a processor – this saves space when it’s being transported. The squash is heated quickly to kill off pathogens. But in reality, as long as no additional sugars and preservatives are added, there really isn’t any difference! Both types of juices go through a similar pasteurizing process which involves removing potentially harmful pathogens that could have been in the fruit. There may be an impression that juice from concentrate is not so good in comparison with natural freshly expressed juice. Concentrates made from 100% fruit are the healthiest option. ![]()
