title: Effect of juice extraction methods and processing temperature-time on juice quality of Nagpur mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) during storage.
abstract: Influence of juice extraction methods and pasteurization temperature and time on quality of mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) juice was studied. The experiment consisted of 65 °C pasteurization temperature with 15, 25 and 35 min holding time; 75 °C with 10, 20 and 30 min and 85 °C with 5, 10 and 15 min holding times and two types of juice extraction methods. The experiment was laid out in factorial completely randomized Design with three replications. Juice extracted with screw type juice extractor and processed at 65 °C for 15 min maintained better qualitative characteristics like total soluble solids, acidity, ascorbic acid, sugars and non-enzymatic browning during 6 months storage. Naringin and limonin contents were minimum with the screw extractor and 65 °C processing temperature for 15 min.
