“…The high content in vitamin C, carotenoids and natural antioxidants is particularly appreciated (Abeysinghe et al, 2007;Bull et al, 2004), but technologies used for their processing and subsequent storage may cause alterations in their contents so they may not provide the benefits expected by the consumer (Martinelli, 1999). In fact, orange juice, during storage, undergoes a number of deteriorative reactions, including ascorbic acid degradation, cloud loss, microbial spoilage, development of off-flavor, changes in colour, texture and appearance among others, resulting in quality degradation of the product (Ayhan, Yeom, Zhang, & Min, 2001;Bezman, Rouseff, & Naim, 2001;Ewaidah, 1992;Goyle & Ojha, 1998;Roig, Bello, Rivera, & Kennedy, 1999). Orange juice producers have traditionally relied on the acidity of their products to assure microbiological safety.…”
