The vitamin C content of orange juice packed in an oxygen scavenger material

Zerdin, Katherine, Rooney, Michael L., Vermuë, Joost·2003·Food Chemistry

Abstract

A storage study of orange juice packed in oxygen scavenging (OS) film and oxygen barrier film was conducted to determine the extent of ascorbic acid loss due to oxygen as a function of time and temperature. The initial concentration of ascorbic acid in the orange juice was 374 mg/l and this was found to decrease by 74 and 104 mg/l after 3 days of storage at 25 °C in the OS and oxygen barrier film, respectively. This rapid loss in ascorbic acid correlated well with the amount of oxygen initially present in the headspace and that dissolved in the juice. The loss of ascorbic acid also correlated with an increase in the browning of the juice, where the extent of browning was found to be lower for the juice packed in the OS film than that packed in the oxygen barrier material. The rapid removal of oxygen was found to be an important factor in sustaining a higher concentration of ascorbic acid over long storage times.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
