Determination and Comparative Study of Sugars and Synthetic Colorants in Commercial Branded Fruit Juice Products

Abstract: Fruit juice-based products are potentially high demanded products in Sri Lanka. The research was conducted to estimate the total sugar content in commercially available fruit juice products and to compare the suitability and efficiency of analytical methods: Lane and Eynon titration method and UV-Visible spectrophotometric methods. Further synthetic colorants in the products were identified and compared with the label information. A consumer survey was conducted to elicit information on consumer preference and… Show more

“…Operating conditions were: 0.05 mol/L H 2 SO 4 as mobile phase, flow rate of 0.8 mL/min, and temperature of column and detector set at 50 °C and 60 °C, respectively. For the total soluble sugar determination, the fruit juice was first subjected to acid hydrolysis, to convert probably present sucrose to its monomeric sugars (Sewwandi et al 2020 ). Thereafter, the total sugars were analyzed by DNS method.…”

“…Dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method was employed for the total reducing sugar analysis (Miller 1959;Salari et al 2019). For the total soluble sugar determination, the fruit juice was rst subjected to acid hydrolysis, to convert probably present sucrose to its monomeric sugars (Sewwandi et al 2020). Thereafter, DNS method was used for the analysis of total sugars present.…”

“…The value was 6.96± 0.03 g/100mL out of 16.33 g/100 mL total sugar [2,11,12,13] Overall, of all seven fruit juice samples with "no sugar added" claim, Sample G arose curiosity. This is because this sample has the lowest concentrations of the reducing sugars (dextrose and fructose).…”

“…Too much sugar could be harmful to health of the consumers. It could result to diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and other complications as a result of excessive consumption of fruit juice [2]. It is widely acknowledged that junk food is bad and fruit and vegetables are good.…”
