Abstract

|
|
In Korea, the annual production of watermelon and cantaloupe melon is around 110,000 to 170,000 Metric Tons, and as the fruit does not keep well, studies were conducted to determine the feasibility of preservation in the form of natural juice or lactic fermented juice. The results obtained in these studies are summarized as follows:
(1) The average yield of juice obtained from watermelon was 56.2%, and from cantaloupe melon 65.8%, of the fresh weight.
(2) The colloidal components of watermelon juice separated from the juice by sedimentation within 24 hours. Cantaloupe melon juice gave a stable colloidal dispersion.
(3) No change in the colour of the juices was detected by sensory evaluation or instrumental methods after they were treated at 100℃ for 5 minutes.
(4) The addition of canesugar to give a total solids content of 11/13 Brix gave juices which were preferred by most tasters.
(5) Lactic fermentation of natural juices pasteurised at 90℃ for 5 minutes, and inoculated with a pure culture of lactic acid bacteria proceeded without interference from competing microorganisms.
(6) Sensory evaluation of lactic fermented juices indicated that 60% of tasters found the juices as acceptable or better than commercial fruit nectars at present on the market.
(7) Taste panels showed a preference for natural melon juices over the lactic fermented juices.
(8) The peroxidase activity of cantaloupe melon juice was higher than that of watermelon juice, with juice extracted from the core of the fruit showing a higher activity than that from other portions of the tissue.
(9) Two types of peroxidase, of differing heat stability were detected in both juices. The more heat stable peroxidase had a decimal reduction time of 40 minutes at 80℃ and a z value of 11℃.
