H. Montijano et al., ASSESSMENT OF NEOHESPERIDINE DC STABILITY DURING PASTEURIZATION OF JUICE-BASED DRINKS, International journal of food science & technology, 31(5), 1996, pp. 397-401
The stability of neohesperidine DC during pasteurization of citrus jui
ce-based soft drinks was investigated in representative (orange, lemon
, apple and pineapple) model beverages and under different temperature
and acidity conditions. Results showed no significant hydrolysis afte
r 1 h at 90 degrees C in the four drinks, or after pasteurization at t
emperatures ranging from 60 degrees C (4 h) to 100 degrees C (45 min).
Only at the lowest pH tested (2.0 in a lemon beverage) was a signific
ant loss (8%) of neohesperidine DC detected.
