The purpose of this review article is to introduce the importance of fruit juices for human health living in the country and in a broad, and to develop awareness among the people about the diseases caused by pathogens associated with fruit juice. Health benefits of juices have been included in this article and how the same juice can cause problems among people of different ages have been discussed. Contamination sources and the ways to prevent them is very important issue in protecting public health Some future recommendations for fruit juices have also been added in this article. Different diseases caused by various microbial agents and the associated symptoms after consuming contaminated fruit juices worldwide are discussed in this review. This review was aimed at the possible sources of microbial contamination, disease caused by them and determining some ways to avoid such phenomena. From the information provided here, it was noticeable that commercial fruit juice can also harbor pathogenic microorganisms which can cause serious disease outbreaks. The contamination can also be initiated during in house consumption if lack of awareness prevails among the consumers. Manufacturing process should be much more strict in this regard to assure the public health safety. Commercially available fruit juices are consumed worldwide among different ages of people and if not processed properly, this healthy drink may be hazardous for human health.

Seaweed is a biological resource abundantly available in Indonesia, yet it has been hardly used or consumed. This study aimed to analyze the influence of palm sugar [Arenga pinnata (Wumb) Merr.] concentration on the quality of Eucheuma cottonii Doty seaweed jam using true experimental research design. The concentrations of palm sugar were 0%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, and 70%. The results showed that there was an effect of palm sugar concentration on the quality of Eucheuma cottonii Doty seaweed jam. The best treatment in this study was palm sugar concentration of 70%. In this treatment, water content, total sugar, and total soluble solids of seaweed jam were 33.60%, 64.89%, and 54.15%, respectively. In general, the addition of palm sugar improves seaweed jam quality.

Identification and Quantification of Sodium Benzoate in Different Brands of Mango Juices Available in Tangail Region, Bangladesh

et al. 2017

Chemical preservation has become an increasingly important practice in modern food technology. Sodium benzoate is a permitted food additive in restrictive amounts by international laws, but their content must be declared and must not exceed the established limits by legislation. An experimental study for the level of sodium benzoate in different brands of mango juices available in the markets, stores and shops in Tangail region of Bangladesh was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. A Luna 5 µ C18 (2) 100A column (250 × 4.6 mm) was used for the chromatographic analysis. Chromatographic separation was achieved with isocratic solvent system comprising of sodium acetate and acetic acid buffer (pH =4.0)/acetonitrile in the ratio of 80:20 (1 ml/min) at 37 o C and the chromatograms were recorded at 254 nm.The limit of detection and quantification for sodium benzoate was 0.00076 mg/100 ml and 0.00231 mg/100 ml, respectively. Quantification of the selected brand juices revealed that the level of the used sodium benzoate was within the FDA standard range. But by comparing with the Bangladesh Standard and Testing Institute (BSTI), brand-1 and brand-3 of the analyzed juice samples was found to deviate the current legal limits. The percentage recovery was found to be 92.04 ± 1.98 to 98.01 ± 1.91. It was found that some of the brands used excess amount of sodium benzoate which may be harmful for our health.
