Juices

Flavor, texture and sensory properties

Three key parameters

Specifically, fruit jueces contáis three types of antioxidants that provide significant benefits to the product, both in terms of quality and flavor, as well as health benefits for the consumer.

Maintaining the presence of these natural compounds throughout the production, processing, and storage processes is therefore an essential task for producers. 

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

It is mainly found in fruits and vegetables. It provides health benefits but also plays an important role in the industry by acting as a potent antioxidant that helps maintain the freshness and quality of products. Measuring vitamin C in juices is important to comply with food industry regulations and standards.

Polyphenols

Polyphenols are important bioactive compounds found in plants that contribute to their antioxidant characteristics. Their concentration affects the quality and organoleptic properties. Polyphenols influence the flavor, color, and stability of the juice, so monitoring them is important to ensure the consistency and quality of the final product.

Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC)

It is the overall capacity to neutralize free radicals to provide protection against degradation. Oxidation is one of the most important processes in foods and beverages, and antioxidants significantly delay or prevent it. Fruits and vegetables contain high concentrations of numerous antioxidants that are important to monitor because they not only enhance their nutritional quality but also contribute a extending their shelf life and preserving color, flavor, and freshness.

The ideal device for your measurements

Simplicity

One of the most outstanding features of this groundbreaking method is its simplicity, ease, and straightforwardness in use. Unlike other procedures that may require complex tools and sample preparation processes, the BRS does not need any additional steps before multiparametric analysis. That is, no additional materials or reagents are required that could interfere with the samples or alter their natural environment; no pre-heating or pH adjustments are needed.

Versatility

As a complementary feature, the BRS is highly versatile and can be used to analyze a wide variety of juice samples, including those that are colored, dark, light-toned, or cloudy. This is because this analysis is not affected by color interference, ensuring precise and reliable results at all times. As a result, the BRS stands out as a highly valuable tool for making quick decisions throughout the entire production chain.
