사과주스의 열수 살균조건과 저장기간에 따른 이화학적 품질 특성을 조사하였다. 살균 조건에 따른 당도, 산도 및 pH는 차이가 나타나지 않았으며 색도는 살균처리구가 대조구에 비해 크게 감소하였으며 무첨가구의 색도 값이 비타민 C 첨가구(0.1%)에 비해 살균 전에 비하여 크게 감소하였다. 살균온도 에서 10분과 20분간 처리한 구에서만 일반세균과 곰팡이, 효모가 검출되었고 그 외의 처리구에서는 미생물이 검출되지 않았다. 비타민 C 함량은 살균시간
We investigated the physicochemical quality characteristics of apple juice upon sterilization using hot water, and under various storage conditions. None of sugar content, acidity, or pH differed significantly among various sterilization conditions but chromaticity was considerably reduced in sterilized juice compared with control material. The chromaticity of non-sterilized juice decreased significantly after sterilization compared with material supplemented with vitamin C (0.1%, w/v). Fungi, yeast, and aerobic bacteria were detected in juice sterilized at for 10 or 20 min, but no microorganisms were observed in juice sterilized by other procedures. Vitamin C content affected sterilization temperature to a greater extent than sterilization time. When juice was stored at or for 3 weeks after application of different sterilization conditions, almost no change in acidity, sugar content, or pH was observed, regardless of sterilization mode or storage period. However, chromaticity decreased with longer storage. Vitamin C levels were reduced by higher sterilization temperatures. However, longer storage periods had the greatest effect on reduction of vitamin C levels, which tended toward lower values regardless of differences in sterilization and storage conditions. In sensory evaluation tests, all of taste, color, and overall preference were highest for juice sterilized at for 20 min. The ASC value was low at a storage temperature of and at high sterilization temperatures, and a long storage period was associated with a greater ASC value. Thus, the quality of apple juice was excellent when juice was hot water-sterilized, with additional vitamin C, at for 20 min, followed by storage at .
