Abstract

ABSTRACTThe contributions of different nonenzymic browning reactions to color changes in stored kiwifruit juice concentrate were investigated using five synthetic model concentrates. The model systems were stored at 20oC for 10 weeks and analyzed for browning, haze, ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acids, titratable acidity, formol value. In addition the profiles of sugars, nonvolatile acids, and amino acids were determined. Two different classes of nonenzymic browning mechanisms were found to be of significance: the Maillard browning reactions and ascorbic acid browning reactions. Reactions involving ascorbic acid were found to contribute more to overall browning than Maillard browning.
