Effects of Processing Time and Temperature on the Quality Components of Campbell Grape Juice

Abstract

Campbell grape juice was processed at different temperatures (60, 70, 80 and 90C) and different times (30, 45 and 60 min), and evaluated for quality components and sensorial properties. The grapes were crushed, added with enzyme, heated, and pressed; then the juice was cold stabilized, filtered and pasteurized. The samples showed an increase in pH and a decrease in titratable acidity. Sugar/acid ratio and total soluble solids increased until 80C then decreased when 90C was reached. A slight increase in L* and b* values and a decrease in a* color values were also shown. Significant differences were mostly observed between processing temperatures than between processing times. Increasing processing temperature enhances the total phenolics, total anthocyanin and total flavonoid contents, and % radical scavenging activity of the juice until 80C but declined when the temperature reached 90C. Sensory evaluation showed that the preferred time-temperature combination for processing Campbell juice is between 70 and 80C for 30-45 min. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSCampbell Early (V. labrusca B.) is one of the major table grapes in Korea and overproduction of this grape variety in Korean market calls for an alternative product in which excess grapes can be utilized. This study is focused on the determination of the effects of processing time and temperature on the quality components of Campbell grape juice. The results can be a guide to have a processing method that can be used in producing Campbell grape juice with good sensory properties and high bioactive compounds 1 Corresponding

Phenolic compounds, organic acids and antioxidant activity of grape juices produced in industrial scale by different processes of maceration

“…2 presents the principal component analysis of the maceration treatments as a function of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of the grape juices produced industrially. Cabrera et al (2009) showed that an increase on temperature of the maceration process from 60 to 80°C contributed to an increase of total phenolics, total monomeric anthocyanins and antioxidant activity of grape juices, corroborating the results obtained here. Leblanc et al (2008) observed that the HP process combined with the use of pectinase on maceration step also enhanced the stilbenes concentrations, concluding that the use of heat was the main factor related to the increase of concentration of this class of compounds.…”

Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Activity in Grape Juices: A Chemical and Sensory View

“…The total anthocyanin content in the grape skins from nine grape varieties studied by Jin et al [50] ranged from 1500 to 30,000 mg malvidin equivalents/kg dry weight of grape skin. However, the grape juice anthocyanins concentration depends on the factors related to the raw material, but the processing technology also exerts a significant influence on the anthocyanin concentration of the grape juice, where the use of heat treatments is fundamental for a greater extraction of the anthocyanins from the grape skins [51]. In grape skins, it is important to notice that each grape species and variety has its unique set of anthocyanins.…”

Simultaneous analysis of 25 phenolic compounds in grape juice for HPLC: Method validation and characterization of São Francisco Valley samples

“…Grape juice is reported as an excellent alternative of non-alcoholic beverage rich in antioxidant substances, mainly phenolic compounds [1,2]. Consumption of grape juice is associated with several health benefits, such as: increase of antioxidant capacity, improvement of the endothelial function, inhibition of platelet aggregation, decrease of plasma protein oxidation, reduction of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and improvement of cardiovascular and neurocognitive function [3][4][5].…”
