Abstract
Abstract SINGLE STRENGTH ORANGE JUICE IS HEATED TO DEACTIVATE THE NATURAL PECTIC ENZYMES. SPECIFIC PECTIC ENZYMES ARE ADDED TO THE JUICE AND HYDROLYSIS OF THE PECTINS IS CONTINUED UNTIL THE LEVEL OF WATER SOLUBLE PECTINS IS BETWEEN 0.01 TO 0.15 WEIGHT PERCENT. THE SPECIFIC ENZYMES ARE DEACTIVATED BY HEATING AND THE INSOLUBLE SOLIDS ARE REMOVED. THE SINGLE STRENGTH BASE CAN BE CONVERTED INTO A CONCENTRATE BY REMOVING WATER TO PRODUCE A PRODUCT HAVING A BRIX VALUE OF ABOUT 64-80*. A CARBONATED BEVERAGE IS PRODUCED BY DILUTING THE ORGANIC JUICE BASE CONCENTRATE WITH CARBONATED WATER. ISOTONIC SALTS CAN BE ADDED TO THE ORANGE BASE.
