Abstract

Tne changes taking place in the ascorbic acid content during processing of juice from three varieties of Indian oranges, namely Coorg and Nagpur oranges (loose-skinned Mandarin type) and Sathgudi orange ( Citrus sinensis), a tight-skinned type, have been studied, and a method for the preparation of orange juice powder has been stanaardlze(1. The retention of ascorbic acid in juices from the three varieties of oranges concentrated to 72° Brix. in vacuo at 50 -52 C. is 85-90 percent. There is a ranid loss of ascorbic acid in the concentrate stored at 24 -30 'C. ; the loss is minimum at 2- -5C. There is loss of 31-57 percent ascorbic acid during the preapration of orange juice powder employing a vacuum shelf drier; the loss is 100 per cent when 3n ordinary shelf drier is employed. The orange juice powder compares favourably with similar imported products.
