This research proposes using a unique method for organic preservation of juices using very small amounts of essential oil constituents and acidification. Off-flavors that may arise can be mitigated without the use of chemical additives, but rather with a blend of tart fruit juices, such as apple and lemon juices. The EOCs and the acidulant act synergistically as a hurdle to inhibit microbial growth, so that thermal processing does not need to be employed.
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.
