Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate grape juices from different cultivars obtained by two different technologies: steam juicer system (S1) and enzymatic system (S2). The beverages were evaluated for physicochemical and sensory characteristics and their adequacy to the identity and quality standards of whole grape juice. Experiments were carried out in the 2018 and 2019 harvests with the grape cultivars BRS Rúbea (RUB), BRS Cora (COR), BRS Violeta (VIO), BRS Carmem (CAR), BRS Magna (MAG), Bordô (BOR), Isabel (ISA), Isabel Precoce (IP), Concord (CON), Concord Clone 30 (C30) and SCS 421 Paulina (SCSP). Treatments followed factorial design (cultivars x extraction system). S1 resulted in juices with lower soluble solids content; on average, a reduction of 3.12 °Brix in 2018 and 2.30 °Brix compared with the original content in grapes. Among S1 juices, only VIO and MAG in 2018, and VIO and CAR in 2019 achieved the minimum value of soluble solids (14 °Brix) established by the Brazilian legislation. Juices of SCSP and CON in 2018 and C30, CON and RUB in 2019 presented values lower than 14 °Brix, independent of the extraction system. S2 juices were characterized by higher values of total acidity, soluble solids, reducing sugars, anthocyanins, global impression, and equilibrium, as well as lower values of lightness for most of the cultivars.
