A B S T R A C TThe dynamics of aroma separation from some tropical fruit juices and pulps was studied using a thin film evaporator. In the case of mango (Mangifera indica Linn, Alphonso and Totapuri varieties) and guava (Psidium guajava Linn) pulps, 90% of each of the volatile .fraction, esters, carbonyls and alcohols, was removed at 30-3.5 % evaporation of the water in a single pass.I n the case of pineapple (Ananas sativa Schult F ) juice, 90 "/, separation of esters and carbonyls required about 80 % and 47 : < evaporation, respectively.However, the behaviour of alcohols in pineapple juice was found to be similar to that of mango and guava. Mango pulp j o m Alphonso and Totapuri uarieties on 60 % evaporation showed a loss in oxygenated terpenes of 80 % and 63 %, respectively, while guava pulp lost about 58 % oxygenated terpenes on 60 % concentration.The dynamics of the total aroma volatiles separation )om the fruit juices and pulps showed that, in a single pass evaporation, 85-90 % volatiles were removed at a juice evaporation degree of 60 % water, while the same extent of aroma removal occurred at 32-35% total evaporation by multiple pass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
