  28. Orange Juice Processing • Oranges are processed to make not from concentrate (NFC) or frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) • Quality must be controlled (variety, growing conditions, etc) • Processing must be closely controlled to: • Deactivate enzymes • Limit oxygen levels • Destroy pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms • Minimize chemical and flavor changes • Correct packaging and storage conditions must be used to deliver safe and stable product to consumers.

  32. Why does juice need to be pasteurized ? (1) Enzyme deactivation • Deactivation of pectin methyl esterase (PME) • PME cleaves methyl groups from pectin causing cloud loss and gelation • Calcium (from the juice) interacts with the demethylated pectin • Calcium pectate is insoluble and settles at the base of the container • For Florida-grown Valencia oranges, a heat load of 2-3 D values is generally sufficient for total enzyme destruction. • Typically pasteurization conditions employed are 95-98C for 10-30 secs.

  33. Why does juice need to be pasteurized ? (2) Ensure a microbiologically stable product • Main micro-organisms of interest in OJ are: • Acid-tolerant bacteria, yeasts and moulds • Acid-tolerant bacteria, e.g., Lactobacillus plantarum (grow best at 20-37C) • Spoilage characterized by diacetyl (buttery) off-notes and CO2 • Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most common spoilage microorganism • Spoilage characterized by alcoholic fermentation, off-flavors and CO2 • Spore-forming microorganisms (thermo-resistant acidophilic bacteria) • In 1992, Alicyclobacillus classified as new genus • Spoilage characterized by an off-flavor like “disinfectant” or guaicol

  34. Thermal processing of OJ • Thermal resistance of microorganisms is traditionally expressed in terms of D values and Z values. • D value is the time at a specified temperature for the microbial population to decrease by 90% or one log cycle (also called the decimal reduction time) • Z value is the change in temperature needed to alter the D value by one log cycle • For example, if an organism has a z = 10C and a D80C = 1 min, then the D90C = 0.1 min and the D70C = 10 min.

  35. Thermal processing of OJ • Pasteurization destroys most vegetative microorganisms but has little effect on bacterial spores (Most spores do not grow < pH 4.5). • long term survival of some pathogens in unpasteurized refrigerated juice is possible, therefore pasteurization is recommended • For microorganisms usually found in fruit juices, z values are typically 5-7. • Typical pasteurization temperatures are 75-95C for 15 to 30 secs • For a given increase in temperature, the rate of destruction of microorganisms and enzymes increases faster than the rate of destruction of sensory and nutrient components. • Summary……Deactivate enzymes, Ensure microbiological safety and minimize heat damage to nutrient and flavor components.

  37. challenges packaging • trend towards less glass and increased use of polypropylene and PET (polyEthyleneTerephthalate) • scalping (loss of flavor into the packaging material) • permeation (movement of compounds through packaging materials) • migration (movement of components of the packaging material into food product) Source: Risch, S. 2000. Flavor and packaging interactions. In: Flavor Chemistry, ed. By Risch, S.J and Ho, C.T. American Chemical Society. Pages 94-100.

  38. Off-flavor formation Oxygen Barrier properties oxidation Flavor Flavor fading (scalping, permeation) Permeation rate = Diffusion x Solubility P = D x S

  39. Vitamin C stability in different package types (The Orange Book, Tetra Pak) AA + ½ O2 = DHA + H20 AA = ascorbic acid (vitamin C), DHA = dehydroascorbic acid

  40. Properties of different polymers: P = D x S Polar polymers: PET, ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) and polyamide (PA) show very slow diffusion coefficients with polar and non-polar aroma compounds. Non-polar polymers: low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) Limonene (non-polar aroma compound) has a high solubility in all the non-polar polymers and diffusion and consequent permeation rates differ by orders of magnitude in the different polymers – in decreasing order LDPE > HDPE > PP Ethyl butyrate (polar aroma compound) has low solubility in non-polar polymers. Losses of polar molecules are negligible with this type of barrier.

  41. Terpenes: the largest single chemical class within citrus volatiles *Three month study of orange juice in Tetra-Pak laminated containers showed: Significant loss of limonene due to absorption/scalping by polymer barrier a-terpineol (formed from degradation of limonene) increased more rapidly at higher storage temperatures *Duerr et al., Alimenta1981, 20, 91-93

  43. flavoring beverages • background • opportunities • challenges • citrus flavor stability • orange juice processing • clouds • milk & coffee drinks

  44. challenges clouds • provides turbidity to a beverage; visual enhancement that gives finished beverage more value • many different types of cloud systems • weighting agents in clouds are regulated • sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) • brominated vegetable oil (BVO) • ester gum • blended systems

  45. challenges clouds Neutral cloud Goal: cloud with minimal taste impact Most made from orange terpenes Vegetable oil as an alternative • typically less stability • cleaner taste

  46. challenges cloud ringing emulsion in beverage product breaks down giving rise to creaming perform tests to predict stability • make assumptions for predictions • microscope, particle size analyzer, shelf-life studies etc.

  47. challenges cloud ringing Stokes Law: V = 2gr2 (po-p) 9no v = velocity r = droplet radius g = gravity po - p = difference in density no = viscosity v = negative creaming v = 0 stable cloud v = positive sedimentation

  48. challenges cloud ringing ringing stable phase separation, shrinkage of cloud layer

  50. milk-coffee RTD challenges matrix complexity milk-coffee drinks contain coffee, milk, sweeteners, flavors, salts, hydrocolloids, proteins, emulsifiers amongst other components • complex mixture of ingredients • physico-chemical and flavor stability issues (processing and storage)
